Founded and operated by Mark Jenkins and Bobby-Jo Danielson, their team brings over 100+ years of industry experience to the table. Their mission is simple: to provide customers with a stress-free, personalized experience, guiding them through the process of selecting and installing the perfect flooring for their needs.
The story of Red Kayak Flooring Co. is rooted in a deep connection to family and the joy of shared experiences. Before the company’s inception, Mark had a simple white work van with his name on it, which they used to transport their Red Kayak to the lake. People who saw the “van with the red kayak” instantly recognized Mark and greeted him with a friendly wave. This observation became a catalyst for the company’s name, Red Kayak Flooring Co. Another familial thread woven into the business narrative is embodied by the quirky sign that proudly graces the company’s entrance. Drawing inspiration from Mark’s father, Bob, a luminary in the flooring industry known for his innovative marketing, the crooked sign stands as a tribute to the spirit of standing out and attracting attention. It’s a way for Mark to honor his father’s legacy by embracing the unique.
