We had such a wonderful experience with our LVP install. The crew arrived on time and got right to work. It was blown away by how quickly our flooring and baseboards were installed. It looks amazing. I would recommend them to everyone!

Love the work !!!!!!
Millie Thomas 10/14/24 — google
Wow! What a great job Ini did on our floors. We have 19 year old red oak sand and seal floors that had seen better days. The transformation is hard to believe. The oil based original finish had turned the wood an orange tinge, and our dogs had gouged areas of the floor by the doors. The floors are clear and bright now and there is no evidence of dogs anywhere on the floor. Great work. Highly recommend.
Billy Powell 09/7/24 — google
Ini was wonderful to work with! He responded quickly and was able to get my flooring job completed quickly as I had limited time to have this done. He was reasonable with my small budget and job but his crew did an excellent job and cleaned up behind themselves. I would definitely use him again!!!!

We had 10 years of buildup on our manufactured hardwoods that we did not know how to remove and they were able to give us wise ways to remove the waxy buildup and avoid it happening again, we couldn't recommend Footprints more and we intend to use them when and if we refinish them. Thanks so much Footprint Floors

In repairing and refinishing our kitchen hardwood floor, Footprints stayed focused on getting it right and we are delighted with the end result.
Hugh Appling 05/19/24 — google
We were recently shopping around to have our hardwood floors refinished and after several in home estimates, we decided to go with Footprints Floors. They were very knowledgeable and extremely professional. They were also able to accommodate and work around our schedule. I am very pleased with the final product. If you need your floors redone, don't hesitate to call them.

Footprints Floors did an excellent job on our flooring. We had a huge project (over 1000 square ft) and it took them three days. They were fast and also took pride in their work! Thank you Ini and your team for making my vision come to life.
Brittany Huggins 04/25/24 — google
My husband and I had Footprints Floors Hickory/Gastonia to put hardwood floors down in our entire house. We were a bit nervous at first because we thought that having to move furniture and rip up carpet was going to be too big of a job for anyone. The owner and his crew were amazingly professional! Their work was outstanding and we have no complaints. We would highly recommend this company for ANY flooring needs that you may have.
Angela Peterson 01/27/24 — google
Ini helped me to take my Kickboxing Studio to the NEXT level! He was very helpful throughout the entire process from seeing my vision and helping me accomplish the goal. Ini came out and inspected the job and gave valuable insight into how things should be done correctly for a great finish and also a long lasting impact. He helped me get the specific materials I wanted for the aesthetic and made it work with my schedule. The job itself was done quickly and efficiently and allowed me to keep regular hours for my members. Footprints Floors provided a great service at a fair price. I highly recommend!
Koree Summerville 01/21/24 — google
Very responsive and easy to work with - last minute changes were no problem - good quality and everything was clean after the job of refinishing our stairs and handrails
Andreas Ernst 12/14/23 — google
Excellent work. Very pleased with results. Extremely professional staff. Would recommend this company 100%. Ini, the owner or head supervisor, worked very well with me to ensure my needs were met His staff even repaired items in my home that I didn't even ask to be repaired, which goes to show the distance they are willing to go to please the customer. Ladies if you need flooring installed in your home, this is the company to call " Footprint Floors". Take it from me 100% satisfied.

Ini with Footprints did a measurement and quote. He was accurate and communicated well with me. He had his crew on time and they followed up with what they said they would do. I had a no worries experience.
Dan 63 11/18/23 — google
Ini was professional and responsive from quote to final payment. His crew removed glued down hardwood and carpet, leveled the floors where needed and installed LVP. It looks and “walks” great. Definitely an A+ shop.

Our Story

Meet Bryan Park: Owner & Founder


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 number one," 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.
