“We are very excited to have gained this certification” said Lorie Welch, CEO for Woodwright. “It is important to me to carry on the legacy of Woodwright. Steve trusted us to continue the legacy of the company while leading the future growth. This certification is the first step for our company in developing that growth and expanding our unique products in the national market.”
Our Story
Woodwright began in 1985 when Steve Welch and his uncle, Tom Peterson, decided there was a need for a company that specifically and exclusively installed and refinished wood flooring. Starting in Tom’s garage, they went to work for companies that had experience in commercial carpet installation but didn’t necessarily want to do wood. Turns out it was a brilliant idea and Woodwright Hardwood Floor Company quickly became experts in wood flooring and established our name as the go-to guys in the metroplex.
We lost our founder in January of 2016 and it struck us to the very core. Yet the company that Steve built was so strong and so viable that since his passing Woodwright has flourished as we strive to continue his Legacy.
Over the years, Woodwright has grown and refined our craft to include manufacturing most of the materials for custom specifications called out by architects and designers. In addition to flooring, we have added custom wall and ceiling materials and have tackled lots of spectacular stair projects.
We take great pride in the family centric culture that Woodwright was founded upon and values greatly. Most of our employees have been with the company for more than 10 years, and there’s even a couple that date back to that garage where it all began over 35 years ago. These faithful employees embody the core values of our company – integrity, honesty and quality. Our company is now piloted by Lorie Welch whose vision to expand our custom capabilities to markets outside Texas and accelerate the growth of Woodwright has proven extremely successful. She works alongside Read Frymire, our President to grow the business and continue the craftsmanship, quality and excellence for which Woodwright has become known.
Steve Welch was a truly great man that built a phenomenal company and it is now our mission to ensure that it continues to be a place where quality and craftsmanship come first and honesty and integrity are our driving principles.

Architect and Design Specifications
Woodwright goes to market through our direct connection with architect and design firms. Our educational approach provides significant value to those specifying wood materials, especially when they realize we are more interested in helping them do what is in their client’s best interest than just getting a specification.
Our team of architect and design consultants assist design teams in all material selections, starting with the proper specie all the way to choosing the appropriate finish.
Sustainability Initiatives
We are committed to manufacturing the majority of our tailor-made products to meet the certification criteria for LEED, WELL, Living Building Challenge, or other sustainable projects. For many commercial architects and designers, the search for green building materials can become daunting with limited product choices available to meet their design intent. At Woodwright, your sustainability solutions are vast.
Woodwright is a proud member of the following organizations.
The US Green Building Council (USGBC) has adopted the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system which provides guidelines for the construction of environmentally responsible buildings.
