Meet your Jamail rep.

Joey is the founder of Jamail Hardwoods, the Houston hardwood supplier built on a single conviction: trade professionals deserve a wholesale partner who treats them like the experts they are — not like leads to be converted. He started the company to fix what he saw broken in the B2B flooring market: opaque pricing, no named reps, and supplier showrooms that competed with their own customers on residential walk-ins.

Under Joey's leadership, Jamail has grown into Houston's premier trade-only hardwood flooring supplier — the exclusive Texas source for Riva Spain, a member of NWFA, NAHB, and NARI, and a named-rep partner to the city's top interior designers, custom home builders, architects, and multi-family developers. The Colquitt Street showroom is a working trade space, not a retail floor: designers walk samples in real light, architects download AIA-formatted spec sheets, and builders see their own pricing tier on every quote.

Joey is hands-on with the business — he meets new accounts personally, knows most of his clients' kids' names, and still answers the main line when a sample kit needs to ship same-day. When he isn't at the showroom or visiting a jobsite, he's somewhere outdoors in Texas, usually with family.

Patrick is the Builder Consultant at Jamail Hardwoods, the direct line for Houston's custom home builders and production firms working on everything from Memorial new-builds to River Oaks tear-down renovations. His job is the unglamorous, mission-critical work of making sure the floor specs land on builders' desks already priced, scheduled, and de-risked — so the build keeps moving and the install window doesn't slip.

Before Jamail, Patrick spent over a decade in the Houston construction supply trade, learning the rhythm of builder schedules from the inside. He knows the difference between a 60-day spec sheet and a 4-week change order, and he knows which collections are sitting on the floor in our Colquitt Street warehouse versus which need lead time. Builders work with Patrick because he gives them straight answers: published volume pricing, transparent lead times, and a single point of accountability when something on a jobsite changes.

When he's off the clock, Patrick is most often somewhere on the Gulf Coast with a fishing rod, or at a kids' sports field watching one of his kids run something — he's a longtime Houston resident, full Texan, and the rare hardwood rep who actually knows where the slab issues are in every neighborhood inside the loop.

Vanessa Vargas joins Jamail Hardwoods in June 2026 as Dallas + Austin Market Lead — Jamail's first dedicated North Texas territory rep. Her job: bring the same B2B trade-only, named-rep, published-pricing model that's defined Jamail in Houston to Dallas designers, custom home builders, and architects.

Vanessa is the direct point of contact for any Dallas account that isn't already routed to a channel specialist (Ashley for Highland Park architects, Patrick for Preston Hollow builders, Aly for Uptown multi-family, Samin for Knox-Henderson designers). She handles sample kit dispatch from Houston, jobsite visits across DFW, designer firm relationship building, and spec coordination with the broader Jamail team.

Vanessa also covers the Austin market — Westlake, Tarrytown, Barton Creek custom residential — applying the same playbook that's working in Dallas. Same-day sample kits ship from Houston to Austin; Vanessa handles in-market coordination.

Full bio coming June 1, 2026.

A Louisiana native with deep Southern roots, Aly found her way to Houston after Hurricane Katrina. When she's not on the showroom floor, Aly leads a life as colorful as her personality. She works in aviation and is the creative force behind her own event company, where she writes and hosts residential murder mystery dinners — yes, she writes the games herself. Outside of work, you'll find her fishing, hunting for treasures at estate sales and antique shops, or traveling whenever the opportunity arises. At home, she shares life with her seven-year-old son and their chatty cockatiel, Mr. Billy.
