Home Improvement Services in Missoula
I work on homes in and around Missoula — bathrooms, kitchens, basements, decks, doors, windows, siding, fences, repairs, and the kind of projects that usually start with, “I’m not exactly sure who to call for this.”
That is a normal place to start.
Sometimes you know exactly what you want. Other times you just know something is worn out, leaking, loose, outdated, unsafe, or driving you nuts every time you walk past it.
Send me a short description, and a few photos if you have them. I’ll take a look and let you know what makes sense.
Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen should work hard, clean up easy, and not make dinner feel like a jobsite.
Kitchens get tested every day. Coffee spills, cabinet doors, grocery bags, muddy shoes, hot pans, and the nightly question of where everything is supposed to go.
If the room feels worn out, cramped, awkward, or patched together from three different decades, it can be made a lot better.
I handle kitchen work like cabinet installation, tile backsplashes, flooring, trim, framing, drywall, painting, and the finish details that make the room feel put together.
Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom should be fresh, functional, and not feel like it gave up in 1998.
Bathrooms put up with a lot: steam, splashes, toothpaste, towels, laundry, bad lighting, and everyone trying to get ready at the same time.
When the tile is tired, the floor is worn, or the whole room just feels overdue, it is worth fixing right.
Bathroom work can include tile installation, flooring, drywall, painting, trim, and repairs around worn or damaged areas so the room feels cleaner, works better, and stops being the part of the house you quietly apologize for.
Basement Finishing & Remodeling
Turn the basement into space you actually use, not just the place where storage bins disappear.
Basements are good at becoming the house junk drawer: boxes, tools, holiday decorations, mystery cords, and that one thing nobody wants to carry upstairs.
With the right work, that space can become a home office, guest room, workout area, living space, storage that actually makes sense, or just a cleaner part of the house.
Basement work can include concrete-related prep, framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, doors, trim, and finish details that make it feel like part of the home instead of the forgotten level downstairs.
Interior Room Remodeling
Sometimes a room does not need a full HGTV moment. It just needs to stop looking tired.
Bedrooms, offices, entries, living rooms, and utility spaces all take wear over time. Drywall gets dinged, trim gets beat up, floors get tired, and old layouts stop making sense.
That might mean new trim, drywall repair, paint, flooring, doors, framing, insulation, or the finish details that make the room feel cleaner, sturdier, and easier to live in.
Home Restoration
Some damage needs fixed correctly, not hidden creatively.
Water damage, rot, bad previous work, worn-out materials, and neglected repairs can make a home feel rough fast. The trick is not just covering it up. It is fixing what needs fixed so the finished work actually lasts.
Depending on what is going on, I may be rebuilding damaged framing, replacing insulation, repairing drywall, installing flooring or trim, and bringing the area back to something that feels like part of the home again.
Home Repairs & Maintenance
Not every project needs a hard hat and a dramatic before-and-after.
Loose trim, damaged drywall, sticky doors, worn siding, soft spots, cracked caulk, leaky corners, and the little things you keep meaning to get around to can add up.
This is the practical side of homeownership: fixing the stuff that keeps the house working, looking cared for, and not quietly plotting against you.
Deck Construction & Repair
A deck should feel solid under your feet, not like it is negotiating with gravity.
Decks live a hard life in Montana. Snow sits on them, sun dries them out, railings loosen, stairs shift, and old framing eventually starts telling the truth.
I build and repair decks, porches, stairs, landings, railings, heavy-duty framing, and concrete footings. The finish boards matter, but the bones matter more. Posts, beams, joists, fasteners, and footings are what keep the whole thing safe when family, friends, dogs, and grill season show up.
Outdoor Structures
A good outdoor structure gives you a place to lounge, breathe, grill, and pretend the weeds can wait.
A backyard gets a lot more useful when there is a real place to be. Not just a patch of grass, a few chairs, and the hope that the weather behaves.
Pergolas, patio covers, screen porches, steps, landings, and framed outdoor features can add shade, comfort, and a reason to actually use the space. The goal is something that feels like it belongs with the house and holds up when Montana weather starts acting like Montana weather.
Fencing
A good fence keeps the dog in, the awkward neighbor moments down, and the backyard feeling like your own.
Fences are simple until they are not. Posts move, gates sag, wind shows up, dogs test the perimeter, and suddenly the whole yard feels less put together than it should.
Good fencing comes down to straight lines, solid posts, sturdy gates, the right hardware, and concrete where it belongs. Whether it is privacy, pets, property lines, repairs, or a full replacement, the fence should do its job without becoming next year’s project.
Window Installation
The view is welcome. The harsh weather, and cold little breeze by the couch can stay outside.
Windows do a lot more than let in light. When they are worn out or poorly installed, they can bring in drafts, noise, water, and the cold spot everyone avoids in January.
The opening matters just as much as the window itself: insulation, trim, fit, flashing where needed, and clean finish details. Done right, the window looks like it belongs there, works smoothly, and keeps the room more comfortable.
Door Installation
No door should need a hip check or special instructions to open.
Doors get used constantly, so when one sticks, drags, rattles, will not latch, or lets in a draft, it gets old fast.
Interior doors, exterior doors, entry doors, storm doors, closet doors, thresholds, trim, and finish details all come down to fit. The door should swing clean, close right, latch without drama, and stop turning a simple trip through the house into a daily struggle.
Trim
Straight lines, tight corners, and nothing weird catching your eye.
Trim is one of those things people only notice when something is off. Crooked casing, ugly gaps, rough corners, bad transitions, and sloppy edges can make an otherwise decent room feel unfinished.
Baseboards, casing, door trim, window trim, transitions, shelving, and finish details are what pull the room together. Clean trim should frame the space, hide the rough edges, and make the room feel finished without begging for attention.
Siding & Exterior Maintenance
They say if you don’t like the Montana weather, just wait 15 minutes. By then it could be too late.
The outside of the house has a hard job. Siding, trim, roofing, gutters, flashing, and leak-prone corners all work together to keep water and weather where they belong.
When something starts to fail, it does not always look dramatic at first. A loose piece of trim, a tired gutter, a roofline issue, or a small leak can turn into a much bigger repair if water keeps finding its way in.
This kind of work is about protecting the home before the problem gets louder.
Concrete Sidewalks
Concrete shouldn’t be an eye sore or make you watch your step, it should get you there safely and not embarrass itself.
Concrete is not fancy, but it makes a big difference when it is done right. A clean sidewalk makes the walk to the house feel safer and more cared for. A solid patio gives you a useful place for chairs, a grill, and normal backyard life.
Cracked, uneven, badly sloped, or worn-out concrete can make the outside of a home feel rough before anyone even gets inside.
Patio and sidewalk work should be simple: solid underfoot, shaped right, draining the right direction, and not something guests have to dodge.
Accessibility & Safety Improvements
Some of the best improvements are the ones that make daily life feel normal again.
A home should be comfortable to move through, easy to use, and safer for the people living in it. Sometimes that means a grab bar. Sometimes it means a better threshold, a safer step, stronger backing in the wall, or a bathroom update that makes the room easier to use.
These changes do not need to make the house feel cold or clinical.
Done right, accessibility and safety work should blend into the home, feel sturdy, and make everyday life a little easier without making a big production out of it.
