About Us
Baker Flooring - A Family Business
Baker Flooring started it's humble beginning from the family home on Highland Drive. From there we moved into a warehouse on Bell's turn which was later destroyed by fire in the 1980's. Shortly thereafter we moved to Hallett Crescent temporarily until we later found our permanent home at 80 Brookfield Road in 1982. We purchased and remodeled the building into what it is today, a full service flooring shop offering a commercial and residential showroom, fully stocked warehouse, and office complex.
After 15 years as a local flooring salesman, founder and original owner Roderick G. Baker (Rod) decided to start his own business and did so in 1970. Baker Flooring was created to service the Newfoundland market, specializing in carpet, linoleum and tile. Some of our first clients were local apartment buildings, schools, and churches.
Roderick Baker Jr. (Rick) started with the company in 1975. Rick is the current owner/operator and has helped build on the company's solid reputation as one of the best and dependable flooring companies in the province.
