With nearly twenty-five years of
experience, Chip Grimes has worked in the construction
industry since 1984. He began his career with a construction
management firm before moving into the commercial flooring
business several years later. Along with partner Charlie
Wills, he founded Facility Services Group, Inc. (FSG)
in 1991.
Serving as Vice President and familiar with all operational
aspects of the industry, Grimes puts to work his expertise
in specification writing, estimating, installation supervision,
project management, trouble-shooting, and general flooring
consultation.
FSG serves customers in every industry,
but offers particular experiential insight into the
healthcare, hospitality, institutional, corporate and
residential markets.
Grimes earned a Bachelors
of Science in construction management from Spring Garden
College. He credits his wealth of knowledge to the practical
experience learned during on-the-job training in both
installation and construction management.
In addition to his work
with the RFA, Grimes is also active with the INSTALL training,
certification and marketing program. Believing in the
program’s core values, Grimes and Wills became more
involved as the program continued to grow. Through the
success of INSTALL, the best-trained flooring installers
“raise the bar” to ensure a better product
to the customer. Grimes serves as a regular presenter
for INSTALL’s local continuing education program
for area architects, facility managers and interior designers.
FSG is proud to be
a member of StarNet® Worldwide Commercial Flooring
Partnership. Grimes sits on the environmental committee,
where he is actively involved in steering awareness regarding
reclamation efforts and the impact the flooring industry
has on the environment.
