About us
A1 Nationwide Commercial Flooring is more than a business — it is a family legacy built on resilience, purpose, and a dream shared across generations.
Our journey began in 1996, when my husband, his brother, and I, Rubeena Wahidi, founded the company with a simple goal: to work hard, provide for our family, and build something meaningful through honest work. What started as a small operation grew steadily through dedication, long hours, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
In 2006, I became the majority owner and President, officially stepping into a leadership role that has shaped the company’s direction and values ever since. Leading in a traditionally male-dominated industry, I saw not only a business opportunity, but a responsibility — to lead with integrity, to set a standard, and to be a visible example of what is possible.
The percentage of women in construction remains low, and I wanted to help change that narrative — not only for the industry, but most importantly for my three daughters. I wanted them to grow up knowing that leadership, ownership, and impact are not defined by gender, but by vision, discipline, and perseverance.
Like many others, my husband and I came to this country with very little. We met in high school, married at 26, and worked tirelessly to build a life from the ground up. What began as a way to make a living evolved into a company that now supports not only our own family, but many others as well.
Through A1 Nationwide Commercial Flooring, we have been able to create opportunities for immigrants and refugees who, like us, were seeking a chance — a path forward through honest work. Opening doors for others and helping them build stability and success has become one of the most meaningful parts of our journey.
Today, A1 Nationwide Commercial Flooring stands as a testament to what can be built through hard work, resilience, and purpose — delivering high-quality commercial flooring solutions while staying true to the values on which the company was founded.
COMMUNITY IMPACT: SUPPORTING AYRF
When global events created an urgent humanitarian need, A1 Nationwide Commercial Flooring stepped forward to help.
We transformed our business warehouse into a donation drop-off and shipping center in support of AYRF, coordinating the collection, staging, and outbound shipment of critical supplies. What began as a temporary effort quickly became a full-scale logistics operation, powered by our team, our space, and our commitment to action.
Leveraging the same operational discipline we bring to our commercial projects, we organized donations, managed inventory, and prepared shipments to ensure supplies moved efficiently and responsibly to those in need. Our warehouse became a hub — not just for materials, but for volunteers, coordination, and community response.
This effort reflects who we are as a company. Beyond flooring, we believe in using our resources, infrastructure, and leadership to serve when it matters most. Supporting AYRF was an extension of our values: accountability, organization, and showing up with purpose.
