Fast turnaround. Durable materials. Volume pricing. Capital City Flooring Austin is the flooring contractor Austin landlords and property managers trust to keep their units rent-ready.
Built for Rental Property Owners
We understand that every day a unit sits vacant costs you money. Our process is designed around your timeline, not ours.
Fast Turnaround
We understand vacancy costs money. We schedule around your tenant turnover timeline and work efficiently to minimize downtime between tenants.
Volume Pricing
Property managers and investors with multiple units receive preferred pricing. The more units you bring us, the better your per-unit cost.
Durable Material Recommendations
We only recommend materials that hold up to rental use. No upselling on products that will not survive a normal tenant cycle.

We have completed flooring projects in apartment complexes, duplexes, fourplexes, and single-family rentals throughout Austin and Central Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best flooring for Austin rental properties?
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is the top choice for most Austin rental units. It is waterproof, scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and holds up to normal tenant wear. For bathrooms and kitchens, tile is the most durable option. Carpet is acceptable in bedrooms but expect replacement every 5 to 8 years in rental use.
How quickly can you turn over a rental unit?
Most single-room or small unit flooring jobs can be completed in 1 to 2 days. A full 1,000 to 1,500 sq ft unit typically takes 2 to 3 days depending on scope, demo, and subfloor prep. We work around your schedule to minimize vacancy time.
Do you offer pricing for property managers with multiple units?
Yes. Property managers and investors with multiple units receive preferred pricing. Contact us to discuss your portfolio and we will put together a standing rate agreement.
Can you handle the demo and haul-off of old flooring?
Yes. We handle full demo, haul-off, and disposal of old carpet, tile, and vinyl. Dump fees are included in our estimates so there are no surprise charges.
Do you work in occupied units?
We can work around occupied units with advance coordination. We prefer vacant units for efficiency and to protect tenant belongings, but we have experience scheduling around tenant schedules when needed.
