Building Community, Culture & Craftsmanship with Bay View Flooring's Jonathan Woolfolk

In this episode of the Building Better Podcast, host Lauren Tucker welcomes Jonathan Woolfolk, co-owner of Bay View Flooring and title sponsor of this year’s Parade of Homes.

Lauren and John chat about the 36th annual Parade of Homes, flooring trends, and what makes this showcase of local craftsmanship such a beloved event. John shares what it’s been like to take over a trusted, family-run business with his wife Margaret, and how they’ve embraced both tradition and innovation—from pet-friendly showrooms to an evolving apprenticeship pipeline with the Career Tech Center.

They also touch on the skilled labor shortage, the importance of workforce development, and how even the smallest jobs deserve quality attention. This one blends heart, humor, and insight from two people deeply rooted in the building community.
