Vision, tenacity and a leap of faith make the 10th anniversary a reality
Bill Walz and Jeff Rose founded Mansion Hill Custom Floors in 2011.
“We spent long nights and numerous weekends envisioning what products we wanted to offer our customers,” said Bill Walz, Founder and Partner, Mansion Hill Custom Floors. “From day one, our goal always has been to provide quality, unique wood flooring and wood treatments you can’t find anywhere else. We have products from Italy and Germany, and, of course, from throughout the United States.”
On July 1, 2011, Bill and his business partner Jeff Rose launched their custom hardwood flooring company in the Mansion Hill neighborhood of Newport, Kentucky. In the decade since its opening, they’ve faced national economic downturns and pandemics yet persevered — even expanding into Nashville, Tennessee.
“If you can imagine it, we can create it” is illustrated on this leather floor.
“Mansion Hill Custom Floors taps into an unmet need,” said Jeff Rose, Founder and Partner, Mansion Hill Custom Floors. “We enable customers to select every facet of their wood flooring. That had been unheard of in our region. Each of our projects is customized – meaning that the wood species, lengths and widths, and stains vary from job to job. We even create floors that curve!”
The pair realizes their customers are central to their success.
“Our customers are why we’re here today and continuing to thrive,” Bill said. “Homeowners come back to us for home renovations and when they move into new houses. They share our contact information with their friends. We’re grateful to homeowners as well as the builders, architects and designers who rely on us for both their residential and commercial projects.”
Our products ring true to our credo:
“If you can imagine it, we can create it.”
We love working with visionaries. Architects, interior designers and builders who possess extraordinary visions for their clients’ homes and businesses.
Certified by the National Wood Flooring Association, Jeff delivers free continuing education courses for architects and designers to learn about types, species, applications and trends in hardwood flooring.
“We’re able to deliver amazing floors because of the people who work with Bill and me,” Jeff said. “We have a tremendous team. Each of them plays a part in
