Meet Chris Traver
Chris grew up in Bozeman — not as a transplant who discovered Montana, but as a sixth-generation native whose family history is woven into this state. He spent 18 years working hardwood floors across western Montana, from the newer subdivisions south of Bozeman to the century-old bungalows in Helena's historic neighborhoods near Last Chance Gulch. That range of work — different wood species, different subfloor conditions, different levels of damage and ambition — is what shaped how he works today.
In 2023, Chris relocated to Helena with his family. He saw what Helena's housing stock offers: block after block of turn-of-the-century homes with original fir and pine floors that have been buried under carpet for decades, waiting. Working those floors — reading the grain, assessing what's there, deciding what they can become — is work he finds genuinely worthwhile. He's also continued to serve Butte, Bozeman, Big Sky, and the surrounding communities, taking on everything from a 200-square-foot kitchen refinish to a full historic home restoration.
