**★★★★★ — cheryl84100, Jan. 2018**

> Finish Line began with a basement remodel for us but various problems morphed it into other projects. Andy, Dan, and Marvin are all phenomenal to work with, as well as their crew of Jeff and others. In addition to excellent quality work, they demonstrate kindness, integrity, and honesty. We give them the highest recommendation for timeliness, quality of work, and keeping you informed on the project. Great company!!

**Comment from Finish Line Building:**

> Thank you for your kind words and for entrusting us with your remodeling needs. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to partner with you in achieving your goals.

**★★★★★ — melindahoover, March 2015**

> We hired Finish Line Builders to build a sunroom addition on our home. They are professional, organized, knowledgeable, and hardworking.  We found them to be very flexible, and they displayed a sincere interest in building a quality addition that we would all be happy and satisfied with.

**★★★★★ — dougbrennan, April 2013**

> I have had Finish Line Building work of multiple projects on our home, including a two story addition to our small home making it much more livable and spacious.  I travel alot and have had no problems trusting FLB with my family or the keys to my house.  Their creative design, excellent craftsmanship, and trustworthiness have been a refreshing change to the current stereotypes of home remodeling.  I have recommended them to many friends, and especially my mother, who raves about the work they have done for her, too!

**★★★★★ — gigisw, Feb. 2013**

> We had the two full bathrooms remodeled after 25 years living here.  They tore out the old shower and the soaking tub in the master and replaced with a new deep tub, new shower with tile, glass doors.  New flooring, countertops, toilets, and paint.  They removed the tub in the hall and put in a large shower with a seat, tiled, and glass shower doors.  They installed a new sink/cabinet, mirror, toilet, and flooring.  Fresh paint, too.  In the downstairs half bath they replaced the countertop, mirror, and toilet.
>
> We also had them do all new drywall in a bedroom and paint.
>
> Recently we had the foyer, stairway, and upstairs hall patched, painted, and pictures hung.  Very pleased with that, also.

**★★★★★ — brogers519, Feb. 2013**

> I own a house built in 1862.  Finish Line remodeled two upstairs bathrooms.  When the house was originally built, there was no such thing as indoor plumbing.  The existing bathrooms were dropped into space that didn’t accommodate modern plumbing fixtures.  Finish line helped me make design decisions that blended modern plumbing, tile and décor to fit into the 150 year old space while retaining the historical character of the house.
> I’d highly recommend Finish Line to anyone considering remodeling an older home.
> William D. Rogers

**★★★★★ — mrsb3rdgrade, Feb. 2013**

> The entire team of Finish Line Building are men of integrity.  They listened to my ideas and added their vision for the project at my request.  The men showed interest and excitement about building my room.  They have always been very detailed in their estimates and have kept on budget and on the scheduled time frame.   We were pleased that they never left a mess.  They always cleaned up and left things orderly at the end of a day's work.  The finished project is beautiful and useful and I am grateful to this professional team.

## Community Q&A

**Q: what stain did you use for the ceiling and floor? love it!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Stain questions

A: So glad to hear you found inspiration through our work. We wish you all the best with your new fireplace project!

**Q: How large is this room** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thanks for your question! The porch is 16' x 20'

**Q: How big is this screened porch** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is a 16' x 20' space.

**Q: How did you build a stone fireplace without a foundation under it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is supporting the stone fireplace?  It is real stone?

A: It was constructed on large footers with piers poured around treated posts with substantial enough beams in the floor system engineered to carry the weight.  It would tend to look odd if viewed from outside the porch, but in this instance it faced a deep ravine so it wasn’t a concern.  The material used was cultured ledgestone applied to a stucco base coat and flashed accordingly to the roof lines above. The limestone shoulders are real stone. Thanks for your question!

**Q: could you look at a new build project I have** *(in Photo Questions)*

672 Chaffin RIdge was a total fire loss. Is it possible that you can give us some time Architect in place
