Workscapes Commercial Flooring Division Joins Starnet

Tampa, FL – Workscapes Commercial Flooring Division is proud to announce its official membership in the Starnet Commercial Flooring Partnership, effective November 1, 2024. This strategic alliance marks a significant milestone in Workscapes’ commitment to excellence and growth in the commercial flooring industry. 

Workscapes, a 26-year-old distribution company headquartered in Tampa, Florida, has a rich history of serving the Corporate, Healthcare, Government, and Higher Education sectors. With four offices across Florida and a dedicated team of 150 employees, Workscapes has expanded its offerings to include a furniture division, an interior construction division, and a commercial flooring division. 

The flooring division, launched in 2020, was founded with the purpose of “doing good work.” Richard “Dick” Dvorak, co-owner of Workscapes, shared his journey:  

“We originally started in the Contract Furniture Industry focused in Corporate, Healthcare, Government, and Higher Education and now we have a furniture division, interior construction division, and a commercial flooring division. The flooring division was launched in 2020 with the purpose of ‘doing good work’. The owner of the company is Elizabeth Dvorak and Richard Dvorak. Richard spent his early part of his career with Armstrong World Industries in the flooring division based in Lancaster PA. Workscapes decided to launch the flooring division when approached by a friend who was selling flooring and said, ‘you are putting all the furniture on the flooring why not provide the flooring as well’. Richard Dvorak was hesitant at first but with the focus on ‘doing good work’ and following our EOS Operating System we are 4 years into the development of what could be our largest division in the company in the future. Today the division has 22 people in it and continues to look for first ‘getting better’ before trying to get bigger. We look forward to becoming a member of Starnet and finding ways to add value to the group and benefit from the years of experience and success together.” 

In addition to this exciting partnership, Workscapes is pleased to announce the recent appointments of George Martinez as Vice President of Sales and Michael Franze as Vice President of Operations. These leadership changes reflect Workscapes’ dedication to strengthening its team and enhancing its service offerings. 

George Martinez, Vice President of Sales, expressed his enthusiasm for the new partnership:  

“Joining the Starnet Commercial Flooring Partnership is a tremendous opportunity for Workscapes. We are excited to collaborate with industry leaders and leverage the collective expertise to deliver exceptional flooring solutions to our clients. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to ‘doing good work’ and continuous improvement.”
