Smith Flooring

Smith Flooring is a family company now in its third generation of family ownership. With deep roots in the Missouri forest products industry, our history goes way back to the 1920s when Jack Smith bounced around southern Missouri working as a logger and tie hacker. Jack's son, Viandel "Spider" Smith, inherited a strong work ethic and a deep connection with the Ozark forests and in 1947 he partnered with a man named Ralph Padgett in starting a flooring mill to take advantage of the home building boom that followed World War II.
