About
My name is Shane Miller and I love sanding and refinishing hardwood floors. I’ve been refinishing hardwood floors in and all around Denver, Colorado for around 16 straight years.
When I was a baby, I was fortunate enough to be adopted by my incredibly generous grandparents. They would not only shape my values and my character, but also the work I would do. Fast forward to turning 14, I found the need for video games and Taco Bell, but had no money to pay for it! I needed a summer job. My grandfather told me I was always welcome to assist him and I took him up on it. I had no idea that it would be the only job I would ever have.
I remember the first summer well. Contrary to my expectations, finishing hardwood was NOT an easy skill to learn. It turns out there are countless ways to ruin a floor during the refinishing process. Learning this while working in clients homes and not on a test floor was very challenging. The expectation from my grandfather was always perfection, so that doesn’t leave much room for error. It was certainly a very unique and sometimes high stress experience.
During this time of my life I would also learn to deal with loss. I lost my mother, my grandmother (who raised me from a baby) and great grandmother (who lived with us) in the span of 2 years. The only consistent part of my life during this time was my grandfather and this work. The work of sanding and finishing wood floors. I know it’s silly, but it was the one part of my life that I could control. Through my grandfathers teachings and years of practice I would learn how to masterfully craft a wood floor surface.
How does this apply to you? Well this means that I am incredibly specialized. I have specifically been sanding and finishing wood floors for 16 straight years day in and day out. Doing no other work. This is my absolute area of expertise. When you hire me you’re also getting all these years of experience and sharpened skill set. And when it comes to hardwood sanding and finishing, the skill of the craftsman far outweighs the debt of having the shiniest new German tools and vans. I’m just lucky I was able to learn it all from the best.
I know that hiring a contractor or company to work in your home is very difficult. Which is why I’m so grateful for all my past and future clients.

We hired Mighty Fine HardwoodFloors to uncover and refinishhardwoods that had been hidden under carpeting for nearly 60 years. We had no idea what condition we might find these floors in once the carpet was removed, but Shane walked us through all of our options and helped us make the decision to move forward. We encountered only minor issues and Shane and his Grandpa were able to remove every single stain, fill every hole, and make our floors look amazing. We simply cannot believe how great they turned out. Mighty Fine didn't just do a floor project, they applied true craftsmanship and quality to their work and restored a tiny bit of history and character to our home. We wouldn't hesitate to choose Mighty Fine again.

Shane and his Grandpa are amazing. They brought back to life an old hardwoodfloor that we had found when we pulled up carpet in our house that we are renovating. The floor was marked and not in the best shape but now it looks incredible.
They are coming back to refinish the wooden staircase later this year. I can't say enough good things and I highly recommend these guys to take care of your hardwoodflooring needs.

We are thrilled with how our floors turned out and Shane was great to work with! Very professional, quick responses and happy to answer questions and offer suggestions! In addition to the free estimate, samples are applied directly to existing hardwood to really get a feel on how the stain will take. The original floors were the cider orange as pictured on the banister for reference. I was also very impressed with plastic hanging to reduce the dust from sanding and once project was completed all plastic removed and my carpets had been vacuumed! He has a great attention to detail and work is impeccable. Very happy with our new floors and will use his company for future projects- HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing floor work! You won’t be disappointed!!

Great experience and quality! He was able to blend our bare hardwood spot into our existing hardwood with hardly any visible lines. It turned out so much better than we thought it would!
