Wide-plank European White Oak, chevron, and herringbone supplied B2B to West University Place designers, custom builders, and renovation contractors. Engineered for both pre-war pier-and-beam bungalows and modern slab teardowns. Trade pricing, named reps, color-matched replacement SKUs.
West University Place is small (2 sq mi), affluent, and overwhelmingly renovation-led — homeowners tear down 1940s bungalows or expand them, and the floor is almost always part of that decision. Here's what makes us the supplier of choice for West U trade work.
~60% of West U's housing stock predates 1960 — pier-and-beam, raised crawl space. Our engineered European Oak performs as well over crawl space as over slab, with moisture-buffered core construction.
The teardowns going up replace bungalows with 4,000+ sq ft modern homes on slab. Glue-down install direct to slab, no plywood subfloor needed.
West U owners renovate in phases — kitchen this year, primary suite next year. We maintain color-matched European Oak across multi-year projects so floor extensions don't show dye-lot variance.
West U lots are 50' x 130' typical. Delivery, staging, install crew coordination on tight residential streets matters — we coordinate with builders so material arrives when it should, not in the way.
West U residents work with Houston's top designers — Marie Flanigan, Eleanor Cummings, Laura U, Lucinda Loya. The plank widths, grades, and finishes those firms spec aren't compromise products. We carry them in stock.
Colquitt Street showroom is an 8-minute drive from West U Boulevard. Designers + clients see samples in real light, leave with kits the same day.
Every account gets a named rep matched to your channel — designer, builder, architect, or developer. Same person from spec to delivery, no support queue.
Wide-plank engineered European White Oak is the dominant spec — 7-10" widths in character or select grade. The neighborhood mix of pre-1960 pier-and-beam bungalows and modern slab teardowns means engineered construction is the standard. Chevron and herringbone are increasingly used in foyers and primary suites.
