Steve Spade, CEO & Founder
Our History
Steve’s vision, passion and commitment to the building industry started at the age of 17, when he became an apprentice for an installation company.
By his mid-twenties, this young entrepreneur had already launched his first floorcovering company.
The company originated in the Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey area. By 1989 his hard work, determination, and true grit resulted in the creation of one of the largest and most successful businesses in the industry.
Over the next 30+, he continued to work his magic and carved out a unique niche in Florida’s rapidly evolving home building industry.
The result? Exponentially growing his company by providing multiple products and installation services for new homebuilders.
In 2013, Steve launched Ally Building Solutions!
His reputation and longtime connections in the building industry allowed Ally Building Solutions to quickly make an impact on the industry Steve has served for more than 35 years.
Today, the company works closely with new home production builders, custom builders and multi-family projects by providing them with customized design studios, flooring, cabinetry and countertops, along with many other products and services
“Ally Building Solutions is the next generation of my first company, Traditional Floorcovering of Florida,” explains Steve. “Many of our original team members are still with me today. We have the finest talent in the industry and our dedication and commitment to excellence is the cornerstone of everything we do.”

Phil Spade
President | Orlando Operations
Phil began his professional flooring career at the age of 19. Always looking up to his older brother, Steve, Phil followed in his footsteps but also carved out his own unique path.
Both Steve and Phil are second generation flooring professionals, having followed their mother, who worked as a manager for an installation company. One could say it’s in their blood!
In addition to owning his own flooring installation firm, Phil also worked with other flooring companies where he mastered his skill set in sales, production, and operations. In 1991, Steve reached out to Phil to join him at Traditional Floor Covering. Phil immediately accepted and together they started the journey that would eventually lead to Ally Building Solutions. After the Home Depot acquisition, Phil stayed on and became the SE Regional Director.
In 2014, Steve once again reached out to his trusted colleague and brother to join him at Ally Building Solutions. Phil accepted the challenge and the rest is history!
