About AllStar Renovations
Breaking News. We Are Now WBENC Certified!
AllStar Renovations, Inc. is proud to announce that we have recently been certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s leading third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women.
Our certification is a significant milestone in our journey towards fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion within our industry and beyond; while expanding networking opportunities with other WBENC firms, to better service all our partners.
The WBENC Certification process has confirmed that our business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and has the appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.
By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government stakeholders demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs, which in turn empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced and sustainable economy.
AllStar Renovations, Inc. provides the U.S. marketplace with installation solutions for wide-format graphics, rigid-signage, pasted Type II wallcovering, upscale residential wallcovering materials for commercial environments, architectural films, and commercial painting services.
We plan to engage with various government and corporate entities, participate in tenders, contracts and projects that were previously beyond our reach. Our team is already gearing-up to make the most of the training, networking, and growth opportunities provided by the WBENC and its partners.
This certification is not just a milestone for AllStar Renovations, it’s a call to action for us to push boundaries, innovate, and collaborate in new ways. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and are eager to explore partnerships and projects which align with our mission and values.
We invite our clients, partners, and the broader community to join us in this exciting new chapter.
