Leadership Team
Abby Reinhard
President and CEO

I’m grateful to lead an extraordinary team at GP Flooring Solutions, a leading flooring company in New York, that is dedicated to learning, growing, and improving every day. It’s critical that we have the right people, culture, and processes in place to have a happy and thriving team. Being named one of the top 100 Companies to Work for in NY in 2024 is a testament to our strong team culture. Then we’re equipped to win the trust of our customers with exceptional customer service and skilled execution of flooring installations.
I manage the five members of our leadership team with a focus on continual improvement in our flooring business. I also enjoy meeting with everyone on our team individually and collectively to continually gain insight, remove obstacles and seize new opportunities to be our best in the flooring industry. Overseeing our work, I develop key relationships, drive our sales and marketing efforts for commercial flooring, handle HR and legal, develop strategic initiatives, and implement business best practices for operations and management. I’ve been featured in Floor Focus magazine, Talk Floors, and Floor Covering Weekly, all reputable publications in the flooring industry.
With professional experience ranging from marketing communications to sales, I achieved the dream of owning a small business in January 2015 when I purchased GP Land & Carpet. Now rebranded as GP Flooring Solutions, our team is an extension of my family. I enjoy serving on the boards of Rochester Area Community Foundation, Innova Girls Academy, Fuse Commercial Flooring Alliance, the Builders Exchange of Rochester, and ITX Corporation.
In 2017, I became a proud graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. I am also honored to have received the 2019 Enterprising Women of the Year award, recognition as Business Person of the Year in 2018 by the Small Business Council of Rochester, to have been identified as one of the top ten “Emerging Leaders” in our industry in 2018 by Floor Focus magazine, and to have been named 40 under 40 in 2016 by Rochester Business Journal. I’m also honored to receive the 2020 Loretta Simmons Woman’s Leadership Award from the Gates Chili Chamber of Commerce and the 2019 Enterprising Woman Award by Enterprising Woman Magazine.
I’m most proud, however, to be named “mom” by Caroline, Leo, and Amelie Reinhard. When I’m not busy overseeing flooring installations or exploring new flooring materials, I love spending time with my family.

Vice President - Preconstruction

I enjoy managing some of our largest projects, overseeing our work with general contractors, and serving as a helpful resource to all of our project managers. The first 15 years of my career were in construction management, first at Shawmut Design and Construction, where I led teams across the country, including an expansive Las Vegas operation overseeing nearly $100 million in projects along the Strip. I then moved to NY to be near family and led teams for LeChase Construction on the $150 million URMC Golisano Children’s Hospital, as well as the LEED Platinum Golisano Institute for Sustainability at RIT. I received a BS in civil engineering and certificates in construction management and business from the University of Wisconsin (GO BADGERS!) as well as an MBA at Boston College with a focus on strategic operations. I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children, especially in the Finger Lakes – I love any chance to be on the water. Originally from Green Bay, WI, I’m a huge Packers fan.

I joined GP Flooring Solutions after spending 15 years in sales management with Enterprise Holdings. I am passionate about my client relationships and understanding their flooring needs. At GP Flooring Solutions, we are uniquely staffed with highly professional and well-trained sales associates that respond quickly with outstanding customer service, and I am proud to be a part of this team. I received my degree in Business Management at SUNY Geneseo and now live and work in Grand Island, NY. My wife and I have two beautiful daughters and we love to travel and create new family memories. I am also a long-suffering and optimistic Bills and Sabres fan. If they are playing, you will find me either at the game or watching it on TV.

Thrilled to be a part of the GP Flooring team, I'm a Senior Project Executive aiming to build stronger connections in the construction world. Starting as an estimator right after college, I moved into project management and spent almost 13 years at a local company. Those experiences over two decades in flooring have shaped me, and now I'm excited to apply them to grow alongside GP Flooring. With an amazing wife and two children motivating me, my off-work hours are dedicated to family, Bills games, outdoor activities like hunting and camping, coaching flag football, and being an assistant scout leader. In these moments, I'm reminded of Marv Levy's words: "Why be anywhere else but here, right now?"

I’m happy to be a part of the GP Flooring team, doing what I can to improve our operations. My background is as a project superintendent for large general contractors — first with Holder Construction Company and then with LeChase Construction Services. At GP, I enjoy working to improve execution on our job sites, with a focus on safety, quality, and schedule. I studied Construction Management at Colorado State University and hold several industry certifications, including OSHA (30-hour training), evacuation safety; arc flash safety/code compliance; confined space; and first aid/CPR/ AED. When I’m not working I enjoy keeping up with my kids!
