A Flooring Subcontractor You Can Actually Count On
On-time execution, large-project capacity, full scope coverage, and zero drama on your jobsite. Capital City Flooring Austin is the flooring subcontractor Austin builders call when the schedule matters.
What Builders Get When They Work With Us
We have worked on production builds, custom homes, and multi-unit developments across Austin and Central Texas. We understand what builders need from a flooring sub.
Schedule Coordination
We work directly with your project manager or superintendent to hit your flooring window. We understand construction sequencing and do not show up before the site is ready.
Large-Project Capacity
We have the crew capacity to handle multi-unit developments, production builds, and large custom homes simultaneously. No single-crew bottlenecks on your schedule.
Full Scope Coverage
LVP, tile, hardwood, carpet, subfloor prep, transitions, baseboards, and cleanup — all under one subcontractor. Fewer vendors on your job means fewer coordination headaches.
Subfloor Accountability
We flag subfloor issues before they become warranty callbacks. If we find a problem during prep, we document it and bring it to your attention before proceeding.
On-Time Execution
We respect your schedule because we understand that flooring delays push every downstream trade. We communicate proactively and do not disappear mid-project.
Jobsite Professionalism
Clean installs, protected surfaces, and a jobsite left in the same condition we found it. We work alongside other trades without creating conflict or leaving a mess.

How We Work With Builders
A clean, predictable process from bid to punch list. No surprises, no excuses.
Scope Review
We review your plans, spec sheet, or material selections and confirm scope, quantities, and any subfloor considerations before providing a written bid.
Written Bid
You receive a detailed line-item bid within 24 to 48 hours. For standing builder relationships, we can provide a unit-type rate card so you always know your flooring cost before breaking ground.
Schedule Coordination
We coordinate directly with your superintendent or project manager to confirm the flooring window, access requirements, and any sequencing considerations with other trades.
Subfloor Prep and Install
We inspect and prep the subfloor, then execute the install to spec. Any issues discovered during prep are documented and communicated before proceeding.
Punch List and Sign-Off
We walk the completed install with your superintendent or quality control team, address any punch list items on the spot, and leave the site clean and ready for the next trade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your capacity for multi-unit or production builds?
We have crew capacity to handle multiple units simultaneously. For production builds or multi-unit developments, we work with your superintendent to stage crews across units and maintain a consistent daily output. Contact Dan directly to discuss your project volume and we will put together a capacity plan.
How do you handle subfloor prep on new construction?
We inspect and test every subfloor before installation. On concrete slabs, we check for moisture and flatness. On wood subfloors, we check for squeaks, fastener issues, and deflection. We use Mapei Planipatch for spot repairs and self-leveling compound for larger areas. Any issues that exceed normal prep scope are documented and brought to your attention before we proceed.
Can you work from our spec sheet or material allowance?
Yes. We work from builder spec sheets, material allowances, and client upgrade selections. We can also source materials on your behalf if preferred. We are flexible on the supply side and can adapt to your purchasing process.
Do you provide written subcontractor agreements?
Yes. We provide written scope-of-work agreements for every project. For ongoing builder relationships, we can establish a standing rate agreement that covers your standard unit types so you are not re-quoting every job.
What areas of Austin and Central Texas do you serve for new construction?
We serve all of Austin and Central Texas including Travis County, Williamson County, Bastrop County, and Bell County. We regularly work in new construction corridors in Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Buda, Kyle, and throughout Austin proper.
How do you handle warranty callbacks?
We stand behind our work. If an installation issue arises within the warranty period, we respond promptly and resolve it at no charge. We document our installs thoroughly so that if a callback occurs, we can diagnose the cause quickly and determine whether it is an installation issue or a subfloor or material issue.
