Bill routinely participates in programs and classes offered to stay on the cutting edge of available products and techniques of installation and finishing.

Our Wood Floors
Shadetree specializes in selling and installing only wood floors. We know our products inside and out. This advantage provides you with exceptional assistance in selecting the species, color tones and finishes to correspond with the uniqueness of the home. Additionally, our experience and custom approach allow us to combine a variety of woods to create custom inlays, accent bordering and patterns to match your personal style.

In the field of floor restoration and repair, our time spent in the historic mountain towns of Colorado and Arizona has provided us many opportunities to work with antique and historic floors, 40 to 100 years old. Time, sunlight and wear can inflict much damage on wood and color, over time creating fragile conditions which must be managed carefully. Shadetree has learned in-depth how to best renew these types of floors back to their original glory while keeping their tradition intact.

A hardwood floor's renewability factor is always an outstanding advantage when choosing flooring. The ability to be refinished means the woods' distinctive beauty can be brought back time after time. For this reason, Shadetree believes that hardwood floors are a better investment than other flooring options; furthermore, they are also a great investment in one's health. Leading allergists agree that wood floors are a perfect choice for a healthier home.

Our Family
Originally from Colorado, Bill has been in the hardwood floor industry since his early twenties. After marrying his wife Kathleen, they established Shadetree in Arizona and built a strong, solid business. In January 2004, they welcomed daughter Sara and chose to raise her near family in Michigan, Kathleen's home state. Quick to take action, they arrived in Traverse City in May 2004 and established "Shadetree Midwest", close to family, friends and water! Avid outdoors people, they enjoy fishing, biking and hiking the region and are fast establishing roots here.
