What Our Customers Say

Footprints Floors is an exceptionally, highly recommended company. Tom, the owner, is detailed in every aspect regarding our flooring. He ensures we have everything required for his team to come in and get the job done quickly, efficiently and to our expectations. It is absolutely beautiful and beyond expectations. There are very few companies with expert detailing from the order paperwork to the finished product. The photos aren’t the best. I have a cast on one arm and this is the best I can do.

Tom was prompt and prepared for every appointment and worked with us when we had tight timeline. He always returns calls promptly and does what he promises. The installers great, professional and put in extra time to finish I one day! I love my new Floors and completed three separate projects with Footprint Flooring. I love my easy care flooring.
Deena Hiltbrand 10/9/25 — google
I would highly recommend Footprints Floors! Tom was wonderful to work with. He is a great communicator and very kind. I had 3 different jobs done by Footprints: job 1: the whole house tile floor broken up and removed and new tile put down (except bathrooms). Tom’s crew did the job quickly and efficiently .Our new tile floor is beautiful! Job 2: I asked Tom to refinish oak floors with a more natural look, His team came in a did a beautiful job and I love the new look! Job 3: Tile 2 bathrooms , turn one tub into a shower, tile the floors, decorative wall, add niches in showers and add a decorative band in showers. He also did kitchen backsplash and a platform area in family room. Big win here! Tom’s guy did a phenomenal job and his attention to detail was unmatched. I can’t say enough good things about Footprints. We will definitely be using Footprints for any future flooring work. Thanks Tom!

Footprints floors were everything we could ask for! They were professional, caring and worked hard balancing their work around 2 other contractors we had in our home. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this company to install your flooring. Thank you to Tom, and your crew!

My experience Footprints floors of North central Florida has been great. Tom was amazing to work with. Very kind and gentle. No pressure type of guy. The estimate was given within a day or two of contact. I was instructed on what to get: all the materials I needed. Once I had them, installation happened quickly and seamlessly within a few days. The work they did was excellent. John and his crew were Great to deal with. They did an excellent job. I would say more of craftsman than just general installers. I was very happy and would certainly love to work with all of them in the future.

We needed new flooring in our kitchen and dining room and after calling some other flooring installers I came across Footprints Floors. Tom was at the house the next day and took his time looking over our tile floor and showed us that 80% or so of the tile was starting to come unglued. He quoted us a very reasonable price to come out and demo all the tile and mortar and replace it with luxury vinyl. Tom was even available by phone on a Sunday when we were picking out the flooring. In one day demo and install and it looks amazing. I’d recommend Tom and his crew and will use them when we are ready to redo flooring in another room

Great service. Was done the next day. Ward was great and very knowledgeable. Loved my new floor.
Cheryl Moneyhun 06/5/25 — google
Let’s just say wow! We had the best experience with Tom Dipaolo at Footprint floors. From the day he came for the estimate until completion, everything was handled better than I could even imagine. We had some snags with a third party tile provider we opted to use and Tom handled everything for us when most contractors would have thrown it right back on my plate. He was super attentive and worked and completed on a super tight deadline. His worker he used was so honest, we entrusted him completely to watch our house while we were out of town for a week and he even got our packages for us. I wish I could only work with contractors as honest and attentive as Tom. We will be using him again and again for any and all projects we get. And he was the least expensive of all of our project bids! You really can’t go wrong with them. We’re so very happy A+
Melissa Kamm 05/7/25 — google
We love the floors, Tom was spectacular, and installers were very good! I would only suggest to them that they should advise a customer who has not had demo before of how bad it can be.

We had a fantastic experience with Footprints Floors for our hardwood floor resurfacing project. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and attentive to detail. They took the time to explain the entire process, answered all of our questions, and worked efficiently to deliver a flawless result. The floors look brand new—smooth, clean, and beautifully restored. We were especially impressed with how respectful they were of our home and how thoroughly they cleaned up afterward. Highly recommend Footprints Floors for anyone looking to breathe new life into their hardwood floors!

As a property manager, I have to ensure that the homes I oversee are in excellent condition, and Footprints Flooring has been a game-changer for me. The previous installer did not install the laminate flooring correctly in one of my rentals and the floor started buckling after a couple yrs on a new constructed house. I found Footprints and recommended them to the owner. I had them evaluate the floor and they were able to explain the issue and suggested what needed to be done. New flooring was installed, and the process was seamless from start to finish. Tom at Footprints Flooring was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. They worked efficiently and left the property spotless after the job was completed. The quality of the flooring and the installation is top-notch! It has truly transformed the space and added value to the home. I appreciate their clear communication and attention to detail throughout the entire project. Footprints Flooring is highly recommended!

Hands down best vendor I have ever had the pleasure of working with and that's saying a lot as this is my 6th house purchase and remodel. Even when I accused him of something another vendor did he kept his cool and was unbelievably kind. Tom held my hand throughout a tough remodel. It was BRUTAL. I had all the things; cracks in the foundation of every room in my new to me home, said water started a new mold problem I had to remediate, and lovely water intrusion throughout. It tooks months to get it all straightened out so that he could lay the floors. I mean just above and beyond what I would have ever expected. Its too bad he only does flooring. Every other vendor out there should take notes. If you are considering new floors I would highly and strongly recommend this company. The pic isn't the greatest I took it on moving day I'll try to upload some more later but the floors are just B-E-A-U-TI-FUL!
Kelli S 04/3/25 — google
Tom and his were were detailed, fair, transparent, professional, and most of all great at their job! I didn’t hand them something simple and they were able to get it done at a fair price and in a timely manner! I’m already thinking of using his crew for a few other projects it went so well!

Installer was professional and very knowledgeable install was quick and looks great
Virgil Pierce 03/12/25 — google
I needed new tile flooring and tile wall repair following a leak behind the tile wall. Footprints was selected because they responded first to my inquiry. A meeting was scheduled for an estimate. The estimator was on time and thorough. I had a written estimate in a few hours. The price was very reasonable. The work was scheduled on a time frame convenient to me. The workman was prompt, professional, and personable. The job took two days to allow for drying. When the work was completed, the job was cleaned and ready to go. I would recommend Footprints to any friend.

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.
