OUR HISTORY

For over 40 years, Universal Metro, Inc. (UMI) has been a trusted partner in transforming commercial spaces across Southern California and beyond. Built on a foundation of hard work, integrity, and lasting relationships, we’ve grown into a respected industry leader—serving multiple states while staying true to the values that drive us: helping people and developing strong leaders within our team.

Today, our team of seasoned flooring professionals continues to serve a diverse range of market segments, including healthcare, corporate offices, education, retail, automotive, and tenant improvement. We’ve built strong, collaborative partnerships with facility directors, end users, general contractors, design-build firms, architects, and designers, helping them bring complex visions to life—on time, on budget, and with exceptional attention to detail.

From estimation and specification through procurement and project management, we offer end-to-end support and tailored solutions that prioritize both performance and aesthetics. Our longevity in the industry reflects not only the quality of our work, but also the strength of our relationships—with clients, suppliers, and the communities we serve.

At UMI, every project is a chance to honor our history, uphold our standards, and deliver the kind of flooring solutions that stand the test of time—both underfoot and in memory.
