Women-Owned Businesses in Austin to Support in 2026

Library Interiors of Texas furnished libraries from England to the Middle East for three decades before it was founded in Austin in 2007, and it still does one thing: libraries. PachaMama Bees leases hives and teaches beekeeping. SX7 Supply distributes construction materials and is run by two sisters who know what a late delivery does to a job site.

Forty-two Austin-area listings carry the Women-owned tag, and thirty-eight of them hold the City of Austin's WBE certification. Each links to its profile, where the tag shows its source.

Who builds and who draws

This is the biggest group here, and it is the part of the Austin market that a consumer directory usually misses.

Architecture and design. Meeta Morrison Designs is an award-winning boutique practice working on custom residential and commercial projects. Fusearch Studio works on commercial, educational and industrial buildings and describes its process as art, science and practicality in the same room. Sixthriver designs for connection and community. Circle V Landscape Architecture does what happens outside the walls.

Engineering. JQ+Tsen does structural work across Central Texas. B2z Engineering takes infrastructure from plans and estimates through construction management, with its own drilling rigs. Laurel Group is led by two former Department of Transportation professionals and advises on sustainable infrastructure. Safework provides safety, quality control and inspection for transit, highway, bridge, port and aviation clients.

Building. Millard Drywall & Acoustical Construction finishes commercial projects. Harris Energy Solutions puts solar on commercial roofs from Round Rock. Castillo Drywall works residential and commercial with a bilingual crew. Boswell & Reyes International inspects and tests construction work, including diving to inspect water tanks.

Who I would call for the house

Greenbelt Solar has designed, installed, commissioned and maintained solar in Austin since 2009, with the same people doing all four. Certified Arbor Care is fully insured and staffs ISA-certified arborists. CDC Carpets & Interiors has specialized in natural fiber flooring since 1981: wool, sisal, seagrass, jute, hemp, coir, abaca, bamboo and cork.

Texas Epoxy & Coatings does garage, workshop and high-traffic floors out of Leander. Central Texas Capital Enterprises fits window film and printed coverings across north Austin. The Purple Fig Eco Cleaning Co cleans without the fumes. PachaMama Bees will take the swarm away and can leave you a colony.

For the inside of the house, JB Interiors Design in Hutto works on kitchens, bathrooms and whole-home projects, and Edwards + Mulhausen Interior Design works the commercial side in healthcare and higher education.

What the certification means

Thirty-eight of these businesses hold the City of Austin's Women Business Enterprise certification, which the city grants after reviewing ownership and control. On this site that supports the Women-owned tag and a separate Certified WBE tag, and each listing links to the register it was read from.

The register records the certification and nothing about ethnicity, so a firm certified as both MBE and WBE carries Minority-owned and Women-owned here and nothing narrower. Where a business says more about itself on its own site, that sentence is quoted on the listing instead.

What the record does not cover yet

The women-owned side of the Austin record is heavy on the trades and professional services and light on consumer businesses: one restaurant, one bakery, three shops. That reflects where the sourcing came from, which was largely a certification register, and not the shape of the city.

If you run a women-owned shop, studio, salon or kitchen in the metro, a free listing is the fastest way in.

Common mistakes

• Assuming a certified firm only takes public work. Most of these take private clients too, and several say so plainly.
• Reading MBE and WBE as the same thing. They are separate certifications and a firm can hold one, the other, or both.
• Skipping the suburbs. Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, Dripping Springs and Lakeway all hold listings here.
• Expecting a storefront. Several of these are consultancies and suppliers that work from an office or a yard, not a shop.
