Upon receiving this award, we recognize that the work we do is impactful on both a business and personal level. As we continue building a work environment that nurtures career development, we also promote a work-life balance and support the personal endeavors of our employees. Being a “trusted advisor” is a core value that encompasses the halls of our office and extends beyond our doors.
As we are near the end of another fruitful year, we are thrilled to announce that Universal Metro, Inc. was voted one of the Best Places to Work in 2024 by the Los Angeles Business Journal for the third year in a row! We are very grateful to be among the top 10 “Best Small Companies” in LA County and look forward to what the future holds for us at UMI.
With this in mind, we thank all our team for their hard work and dedication. The process of getting nominated begins with an anonymous survey of our employees’ experience at our company, and the results are the impact the work culture has on our employees. We are extremely honored to share a workspace with link-minded individuals who are “ideal team players.”

“February 2021 — Challenging times require exceptional leadership, and 2020 showed just how critical that can be. Across the country, young men and women in the flooring industry were rising to the challenge, from establishing safety protocols for staff amid a pandemic to helping their communities’ most vulnerable populations, and their creative and thoughtful solutions drew the attention of colleagues and peers.
“Once a year, Floor Focus Magazine recognizes the best of the up-and-coming talent through its Future Focus awards. Those eligible for the awards must be under 40 years old and employed in the floorcovering dealer segment, including retailers, distributors and commercial contractors. Congratulations to the eight Starnet Members for achieving this distinguished honor.”
