DoveLin Enterprises, Inc. is a commercial flooring company established October 7, 2014 by owners Mary Lindsay and Franklin Dove, Jr. The company provides flooring services to general contractors, hospitals, health service building, colleges/universities, public and private schools, retail stores, office buildings and multi-purpose/multi-family dwellings. Gymnasiums and indoor track are the projects that have particularly received high praise from their customers.
DoveLin holds women’s owned business certifications through the NJ WBE and the WBENC. The company is also a standing contractor of Floor Layers Local 251 on the East Coast, whose members make up DoveLin’s workforce, which ranges between 15 and 42 employees, depending upon the size of the project and peak work times.
To honor their success, DoveLin is always seeking ways to give back to the community. Along with their employees, the company has donated services to the PAL Organization in Philadelphia and local Christian Schools in New Jersey.
In March 2016, DoveLin sought the advice of the NJSBDC at Rutgers Camden. The owners had hit a roadblock in pursuit of financing. While the business was growing, it was difficult for a business with less than two years in operation to secure the funds necessary to bid on major projects. The Rutgers Camden SBDC stepped in, and according to Mary, “assisted to secure funding which allowed us to bid on high profile projects for several contractors, commercial businesses and retail centers such as Wal-Mart. SBDC consultants developed cash flow projections to support loan requests, loan package development and advised on operational processes and human resources.”
The business has gained a stellar industry reputation in a very short time. They have grown rapidly since 2015 with sales increasing by 60 percent in 2017. The Rutgers-Camden Center continues to service DoveLin as they expand and enjoy the success that excellent customer service and quality workmanship bring.
