What DSB+ does

DSB+ (legal entity DSB, Inc.) is a privately held commercial flooring contractor headquartered in Livermore, California, with a second operational branch in Rohnert Park and supporting warehouse facilities in both locations. Founded circa 2000, the company has operated for over 25 years as the Bay Area's self-described only Commercial Floor Finishes Contractor Network, offering a single-vendor model that spans product selection, professional installation, and ongoing maintenance across roughly 20 flooring categories — including commercial carpet, vinyl, wood, rubber, ceramic, concrete, cork, linoleum, ESD, epoxy/industrial coatings, access flooring, sports surfaces, and entrance systems. Technical differentiators include ASTM F2170-compliant moisture testing and remediation, low-profile all-steel access flooring for high-tech wire management, ESD flooring for electronics-sensitive environments, and LEED-contributing product specifications with a recycling program. Service lines extend into window coverings (MechoSystems) and furniture space planning.

The company operates on a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with two principal streams: one-time installation projects covering material supply, labor, and project management, plus recurring maintenance contracts that extend floor life and preserve warranties. Multi-year maintenance engagements on fabric furniture, walls, and partitions supplement core flooring revenue. Customers are segmented into four primary personas — General Contractors, Architects & Designers, Property Managers, and End Users (building owners and tenants) — and are acquired almost exclusively through direct enterprise sales leveraging deep relationships with the Bay Area A&D community and referral channels rather than digital marketing. The disclosed customer roster spans more than 90 named enterprise accounts across Big Tech (Apple, Google, Facebook, Salesforce, Nvidia, Cisco, Oracle, Adobe, Tesla), healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, Genentech, Gilead, Sutter Health, Intuitive Surgical), financial services (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, SVB, MetLife), education (Stanford University, San Jose State), government (City of Menlo Park), and hospitality/retail (Hyatt, Nordstrom, Airbnb, Clif Bar), all concentrated within the Bay Area.

Ownership rests with three principals — Si Baxley (President), Cory Preston (Owner/Sales), and Delmar Vasquez (Owner/VP Sales Maintenance Division) — who collectively hold over 100 years of commercial flooring experience. The company is a union contractor with 101-250 employees, no institutional funding, no disclosed acquisitions, no public revenue, and operates exclusively in the Bay Area market. There is no AI/ML capability disclosed; the technology stack is conventional commercial construction services.
