Our Story

Our family goes back two generations, consisting of flooring, and remodeling, installers. Before I turned 18, I began helping my father on his job sites and studied everything I could get my hands on. Before cellphones, GPS, and computers with the internet were commonplace, I would gather every warranty document, installation spec, or any other scrap of information that could be provided as I strove to become an expert in the various subtrades needed to remodel a home.

​

As the years went by, and I got more and more experience under my belt, I’d attend continuing training sessions hosted by manufacturers, joined certifying organizations, and anything else that could help me grow and hone my skills.

Over the past two and half decades, I’ve helped train dozens of individuals who later went on to become independent installers themselves. Many of them are still in the business today.

​

In 2011 I took a position managing a flooring workroom for one of the big box stores in Florida. I took charge of dozens of installers and oversaw their operations over a multi-county area. A few years later, I married my beautiful wife, Kirsten, and she was interested in joining the same company, thus becoming my partner and teammate at work, as well as at home.

​

She and I both continued to educate ourselves and grow together in our knowledge of the industry.

​

This was very helpful because the operations of the box store were undergoing a change a short time later, and our positions were going to be eliminated. It was then, that we took our contacts with manufacturers and we began our first sales operations.

​

During all of this, we knew we could do one thing better than anyone, service. Service would entail knowledge and personal attention, two qualities we have in spades. It was this ethic that would forever separate us from other stores, being able to give a better product and a better experience as a whole.

​

Today, we have a wonderful team of individuals who instill their own passions and desires into what they do. Their valuable contributions guide us to continually grow and mature as a company, as we develop relationships with our customers and the community at large. Our team members each have unique backgrounds and education, multiplying who we are as a company. We, at Pelican, are very blessed to have the people, and the resources, to see our vision come to life each and every day; and it is our pleasure to share this with you on your next project.
