DCO Commercial Floors

What DCO Commercial Floors does

DCO Commercial Floors (DCOCF) is a national, full-service commercial flooring contractor and window treatment provider headquartered in Athens, Georgia. The company was founded in 1978 by Mike Blanton as Dalton Carpet Outlet, joined the Carpet One cooperative in 1988, became a dedicated commercial division in 2007, and rebranded to DCO Commercial Floors while joining the Starnet Worldwide Commercial Flooring Partnership in 2017. Operated alongside its sister company Dalton Carpet One Floor & Home under Blanton family ownership, DCOCF delivers project-based flooring installation across carpet, tile, VCT, LVT, hardwood, stone, and specialty surfaces, complemented by a window treatment division offering motorized shades, roller and solar shades, mini blinds, and drapery.

The company operates four offices across Georgia (Athens, Atlanta, Lawrenceville distribution center, Savannah) plus a newer Charlotte, NC location, with project reach spanning the continental U.S. via Starnet's 170+ contractor network across 300+ locations. Core service capabilities span the full installation lifecycle: specification and design selection, estimating with proprietary software, moisture testing and remediation, substrate preparation, just-in-time material logistics, occupied-space lift installation, on-site supervision, and recycling services. All project managers hold Certified Installation Manager (CIM) credentials through FCICA, with OSHA 10/30 safety certifications and LEED training supporting green-building project requirements.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model, with custom unit pricing derived from detailed estimates factoring square footage, material selection, and project complexity. Customers include general contractors, architects and design firms, property managers, real estate developers, and government entities across eight vertical segments: Corporate, Education, Healthcare, Hospitality, Multi-Family, Religious, Senior Living, and Sports & Recreation. Named enterprise clients include Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center, Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino, Harrah's Cherokee, Hilton Atlanta, Daniel Defense, Reeves Young, Clemson Football Facility, and the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter redevelopment. Distribution is driven by dedicated project executives managing relationships from estimation through closeout, supplemented by Starnet nationwide fulfillment and earned-media visibility through Starnet Design Awards (Gold, Silver, and Bronze in 2018).
