Bruce Baker
Bruce is the third generation of Bakers in the local construction industry. He started B&B Flooring in his family’s barn, located in downtown Dryden in 1992. Over the past twenty years his expertise and dedication to quality and superior service has built the company into one of the leading floor covering dealerships in the area.
As the son and sibling of a slew of artists and designers, Bruce finds his artistic outlet in the flooring project process that he and his company have worked years to perfect. It is what they like to call “the B&B difference."
Bruce entered the flooring industry as a teenager in the inauspicious position of installer’s helper. He learned early that hard work was the way to get noticed. That simple lesson has proved itself invaluable to him time and time again throughout his life.
When not at work, Bruce enjoys time with his family and new travel adventures with his wife Jennifer.
Jim Wood
Jim has proudly been part of the B&B team since 1992. For the last decade and a half, he has held the position of Superintendent.
He will likely be the first person to visit your home or business. His mission is to provide you the customer with courteous and professional service from the first meeting to the completion of your project.
Jim possesses nearly 30 years of flooring experience working with every major flooring manufacturer in all product categories. Additionally, he has a vast array of professional training, including certification as a Forbo Master Mechanic.
Outside of work, Jim spends much of his time involved with contributions to the local community, including coaching youth sports. Jim is also an avid outdoorsman and relishes the opportunity to get out and enjoy the abundance of nature our region provides.
Justin Baker
Justin was born into the flooring business. As a young boy Justin would play on piles of carpet in the warehouse and hide under the displays in the store owned by his father and uncle. Even before he was a teen, he would accompany them on out of town jobs, getting an early taste of what life was like on the job site.
Those experiences agreed with him, and in the following years Justin traveled the country east to west and north to south working in numerous construction related jobs, gathering a wealth of knowledge along the way.
But as it is in his family, flooring became his life’s work. Justin is B&B’s outside sales representative, where he excels at developing new relationships as well as cultivating long term ones.
Justin is an active community member and is committed not only to his career but also his wife and 4 year old daughter. He enjoys his free time with his “girls” riding bikes and snowboarding. We truly enjoy having him in our company and value his ability to always keep himself and everyone around him smiling.

Albert Lockwood
Albert has been B&B’s warehouse manager since 2003. His key responsibilities involve facilitating material deliveries, receiving shipments and tracking inventory. Albert’s professional capabilities are greatly valued; however most would agree that his greatest asset is his wonderfully unique personality and his ability to always keep his coworkers in stitches. Albert takes pride in every aspect of life, and when not spending time in the great outdoors he can often be found at the local bowling alley striving for his first perfect game. B&B is delighted to have Albert as a valued member of the team.
Installation Team
It is not uncommon to find flooring companies that hire temporary workers or sub contractors to perform installations. Here at B&B, however, we see to it that our entire full-time installation team are our own employees, who receive health benefits and a living wage. They are fully insured, OSHA certified and educated in the most current installation practices and product warranty requirements to ensure that they provide the finest quality workmanship and customer service.
