Christopher Norris
Owner & Lead Craftsman
About Chris
Chris approaches every project with one mindset: it has to be right. Not “good enough.” Not “close.” Right. Every floor carries his name, and he treats that responsibility seriously—often going the extra mile, even when it costs him additional time and effort. With over two decades of hands-on experience, Chris has developed advanced sanding techniques that produce flatter floors, eliminate chatter and swirl marks, and deliver a finish that holds up over time.

A Family Business at Its Core
Outside of work, Chris and Patty stay busy raising their two children and spending time outdoors—whether that’s hunting, fishing, or getting in a round of golf when time allows. The same values they bring to their family—hard work, consistency, and accountability—are the ones they bring to every project.
