Flooring Installation & Restoration

Bryan Park

Owner, Founder - Denver

Bryan grew up in south Denver. He attended the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO and served this country after graduation. Like most who serve, Bryan's military experience strengthened his belief in, and commitment to, integrity, duty and leadership.

When Bryan and wife Kelli settled in Littleton, Colorado they started a family...three rambunctious girls and two very big dogs. It was then, Bryan noticed that the flooring industry in Denver was highly inefficient and unscrupulous. It was nearly impossible to find providers who worked with a true sense of honesty and fairness. Changing this was not only an opportunity for Bryan, it was practically a calling.

"Putting the customer first and creating an impeccable reputation in this industry was Job #1," says Bryan, about his goals for his future flooring company in Denver. He named it Footprints Floors, and created a unique company structure that promoted the best in people, products and business practices. It worked! So much so, that Footprints Floors is one of the largest hardwood providers in Colorado and is growing rapidly.

During Bryan's visit to the Lake Erie area, the two got to talking about the business opportunity and community service a company like Footprints could bring to the region.

"Each floor is as different as the people who own them and I enjoy working to create a unique beautiful finished product in every case."

These two almost always create happy and successful relationships with customers. I believe the same is true for helping improve people's homes."
