The DC Metro is a hyper-competitive market dominated by technology companies and government contractors,” stated Matt Malone, Founder and CEO of Groundworks. “For a home services business to rank so high on the Inc list says a lot about the special company we are building. At Groundworks, we are evolving our industry by honoring the skilled trades men and women that work every day to protect our consumers’ homes. This honor is a testament to the amazing Tribe we have built here at Groundworks.”
