A Legacy of Resilience and Strategic Evolution
The story of Abbey Commercial Flooring began in 1987 when Shiva and Ali Cheloei Sr. established a retail flooring business in Northern Virginia. For over two decades, the company built a strong foundation in the retail sector before encountering the transformative pressure of the 2008 economic downturn. Recognizing that the market was shifting, Shiva Cheloei Sr. made the strategic decision to diversify the company’s offerings to remain competitive. This vision led to the launch of a commercial division that rapidly transitioned into a high-demand operation serving general contractors, developers, and end users across the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Over the last decade, Cheloei’s sons Ali and Amir took over this commercial division and continue to show great success in the industry.
Today, Abbey Commercial Flooring operates as a relationship-driven organization with the depth to support projects ranging from high-end boutique interiors to massive hospitality, healthcare, education developments, and more. Their capabilities have expanded far beyond traditional installations to encompass carpet, resilient flooring, hardwood, ceramic and porcelain tile, polished concrete, and specialized finishes. The company distinguishes itself through a deep commitment to providing expert collaboration and meticulous logistics coordination to ensure high-value project standards.
Future-Focused Expansion and Operational Excellence
As the company enters its next phase of growth, Abbey Commercial Flooring continues to bridge traditional entrepreneurial values with modernized project management and operational systems. The firm recently achieved a major milestone by expanding into the Richmond, Virginia market which serves as a strategic anchor for further methodical growth along the East Coast. Abbey’s leadership remains focused on sustainable growth ensuring that they maintain the same level of quality control and client service that has defined their success in their home region.
