I install, refinish, and repair hardwood floors. Tell me what you have and what you’d like to change.
Big Sky homes call for careful coordination, material planning, and attention to mountain interior conditions. Wide rooms, custom stairs, large windows, and changing humidity can all affect layout and finish choices, so we build the plan around the actual property.
I install solid and engineered hardwood, sand and refinish existing floors, replace damaged boards, and lace new flooring into old. If the floor only needs a buff and coat, I’ll tell you.
You’ll work directly with me, Sterling. I’ll walk the floor with you, put the scope and price in writing, and keep you updated as the work moves along.
Before installation or refinishing, we discuss interior humidity, heating, the floor’s condition and how the rooms are used. The plan should fit the home’s actual conditions rather than assume every mountain property needs the same treatment.
Wide rooms, stairs and adjoining surfaces need a clear layout. We review board direction, thresholds, vents and how new work meets the existing floor before choosing the scope.
If you are coordinating from out of town, we will agree on access, communication and the work sequence. Furniture, other trades and the selected finish’s return-to-use instructions are part of the schedule.
Installation: Subfloor readiness, moisture conditions, acclimation, layout, fastening, vents, thresholds, and transitions are addressed as one system.
Refinishing: The floor is inspected for remaining sanding depth, damage, previous coatings, and repairs before stain and finish decisions are made.
Repair and restoration: Species, width, grade, milling, and surrounding color are considered when replacing boards or connecting new hardwood to an existing floor.
Maintenance: When the existing finish is compatible and the wear has not reached bare wood, a buff and coat may renew protection without a complete sanding.
Often, yes. The answer depends on the wood thickness, structural condition, damage, old coatings, and how many times the floor has already been sanded. A walkthrough is the best way to determine what is worth preserving.
Yes. Natural, stained, matte, satin, oil-based, and water-based systems can be considered. Samples and the home’s lighting help narrow down a color and sheen that work with the wood.
Use the estimate form to send the project location, rough square footage, and what you want changed. I’ll follow up to talk through the floor and timing.
That depends on finish compatibility and whether wear has reached the wood. Existing oils, waxes or cleaning residues can affect adhesion. An assessment or test area helps establish the appropriate scope before a maintenance coat is proposed.
Buff and coat details →Tell Sterling who will provide access and whether a property manager or other trades are involved. Agree on the scope and communication plan before work starts, including when the home needs to be available.
Drying, recoating and full cure are different stages. The answer depends on the selected finish and site conditions. Your project plan should cover walking, furniture, rugs and pets using the finish manufacturer’s instructions.

Send the location, a rough size, and what you want done. I’ll get back to you to talk through the work.
