Cindy Strong, part owner, keeps things running smoothly in the office. She has been an active participant in the plumbing and heating industry since 1981. While she has never had to put on a tool belt, Cindy is quite knowledgeable about radiant floor heat and snow-melt. You’ll often speak with Cindy when you call the office, if she’s not working in her flower gardens or working out at the gym.
Derek Strong, part owner, has been with Radiant Floors, Inc. since 1994. While he started out running the crew installing tubing, he is now in charge of day to day operations and spends his days behind a desk bidding jobs, scheduling the crew, and working with builders and homeowners on their projects. If you have a hard time getting ahold of Derek in the office, most likely he is pursuing his passion of cycling. His daughter, Lucy, comes to work with him almost every day making the office of Radiant Floors a fun (and noisy) place to work.
Sarah Strong helps ease the burden of Cindy’s task load. She has been in the office (and occasionally in the field) since 2002, full-time since 2005. While her Elementary Education License and Personal Training Certification don’t help much if the office, the hereditary ability to help run a small business comes naturally.
The Office Dogs: Melvin, Rocky, and Rudy

Not only is Chris our job supervisor, he performs all aspects of the installation of radiant floor heating, snow-melting, and solar systems.
Chad Lorenzen has been with Radiant Floors, Inc. since 1998. Chad and Sarah went to high school together and stayed in touch afterwards.

Marc Neumann has been with Radiant Floors, Inc. since 2001. Cindy had met Marc, who was a heating and electrical contractor, in her hometown of Schleswig, IA while helping her parents move.

A Few months later Marc moved to Colorado and became a vital part of the team. Marc can solve any issue and most likely he’ll will be handling your service call. Along with being our go-to guy for service, he also does all of the wiring of the systems.
