Ridgefield, CT, May 6--Lori Dowling, president and CEO of StarNet Commercial Flooring Cooperative, the largest, nationally recognized, member-owned cooperative of independent, commercial floor covering contractors, announces the acceptance of G&W Commercial Flooring, Inc. in Seattle, WA, as a member. StarNet maintains strict qualifications for membership. Candidates must meet a rigorous set of criteria, which includes a financial check, a history of good business practice and quality installations and an unrivaled reputation for professionalism and service in the markets they serve. Steve Woodman, co-owner of G&W Commercial Flooring, said, “Participation dividends from top manufacturers, the opportunity to interact on a regular basis with peers from around the country and strength in numbers…joining StarNet was a very easy decision.” Co-founded on May 5, 2000, and owned and operated by Jim Gravalis and Steve Woodman, G&W Commercial Flooring currently employs a staff of 24.

With a staffing structure and operation system designed to place the company’s owners on job sites and in direct contact with the client, Gravalis or Woodman personally oversee virtually each and every project to insure quality and customer satisfaction are met. Gravalis adds, “Our goal is not to be the largest flooring contractor. Our goal is to be the best.” “It is with great pleasure that we welcome G&W Commercial Flooring to this organization. As experts in the industry, highly skilled at what they do, their shared knowledge will be highly advantageous to all StarNet members,” said Randy Rubenstein, owner of Rubenstein’s Contract Carpet LLC and chairman of StarNet’s board of directors. “That’s the intention of this organization.
