We had several other firms inspect our home but FineCraft (thank you, Elvis!) was the only one that was able to properly diagnose the work needed and give us a comprehensive plan to remedy the issues. > > FineCraft performed the work we needed with professionalism, excellence and care, from the initial demolition work to the main restoration work, and to the ultimate completion of the project which included installing two beautiful new bathrooms. They protected everything in our home expertly and with care as they did their work. When they were done with the repairs, they restored everything they worked on to its original condition or better. > > While their whole team was outstanding, we especially appreciated Elvis’s energy, vision and leadership, Saul’s smart, steady, and effective management of all aspects of the project, and Selwyn and his team, who seemed able to construct or reconstruct virtually any part of our home. Cristina provided expert guidance for all our design choices. We couldn’t be more pleased with all their work and the standard of excellence they all brought to everything they did for us. > > FineCraft is skilled, knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. They live up to the high standards implicit in their name. They were a lifesaver and a Godsend for us. We highly recommend them. ### All 153 reviews **★★★★★ — Keith Helming, April 2026** > The Finecraft team (Miriam, Diego, Felix, and Francesca) helped us fix many issues relating to our St. Pete home that we purchased in 2023. The home is a beautiful four-story brownstone. However, the home had some significant hidden issues. There was mold in the ceilings and walls on three of the floors which had to be remedied followed by much reconstruction work. The top floor had experienced some leaks over the years without being properly fixed. A number of walls needed to be repaired and replaced, as well as wooded cabinets and a bar. The FineCraft team saved as much as they could, and then perfectly matched the replacement material (and they also replaced the ice machine). In addition, the top balcony doors were not properly secured, and with the most recent significant hurricane, the entire floor on the fourth floor and the ceiling and walls of the main bedroom underneath had to be replaced. Major work was needed over the course of many months. The home is now in great shape, and we are now having big family events over the coming holidays. The FineCraft team made this possible. Thanks to them!!! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > We are so happy that you're so happy with the outcome. It was a pleasure working for you and providing you with our services. Until next time, my friend! **★★★★★ — ileana schinder, Jan. 2026** > FineCraft has completed my clients' projects with creativity and professionalism. I highly recommend them and I would encourage those starting a project to consult with them on how to complete the construction process on time and within budget. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Ileana! We enjoy working with you and collaborating on projects! **★★★★★ — gregsitzmann, Oct. 2025** > We recently completed a whole home renovation with FineCraft Contractors as our builder. In addition to all new windows and hardwoods throughout, they added a substantial addition to the back of the home. > > From the start, FineCraft understood the complexities of the project and gave us a fair quote that beat several competitors. They were able to work within our budget to accommodate all of the big items and most of the small items on our wishlist. > > With a 150 year old townhouse in DC, it was important to us to retain as much character as possible. Working with our architect, FineCraft had many thoughtful suggestions that elevated the finished product. When an issue arose on the job site they were very proactive and creative in finding a solution to continue moving forward. > > My wife and I especially appreciated that FineCraft employs a dedicated buyer whose job is to source all products and materials. We did the shopping and FineCraft took over the responsibility of purchasing and delivering (and returning when necessary). That kept the project on track. > > Another nice touch is that they cleaned the house from top to bottom before we moved in, even providing lovely bath towels, handsoap and dispensers. It’s a little thing, but at the end of a long project, and a long day of moving, it showed their care and level of detail. We would recommend using FineCraft. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > That’s very nice to hear. We’re grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you on your house project. Enjoy it for years to come! **★★★★★ — HU-124505881, Sept. 2025** > I cannot recommend FineCraft enough. Our team, which included Nick, Selvyn, Otto, Saul and others were extremely professional, timely, and demonstrably masters of their profession from day one. We will only be using this team for our future projects. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much. We aim to please. ;) Glad we were able to service your needs! **★★★★★ — HU-314987128, April 2025** > We hired Finecraft for a bathroom and kitchen remodel and they did a great job! We even added on some closet building and they helped us design it so they looked like part of the original rooms where we put them. We had a couple follow up items after the project and Finecraft made sure to do them the right way - they really care about the quality they put their name behind. **★★★★★ — HU-584606923, Feb. 2025** > My regular handyman’s quote was pretty high for a few small jobs, so I asked FineCraft to take a look after meeting them at one of their open houses. I was delightfully surprised when their quote came in much lower. In addition to those few small jobs, they ended up taking on some bigger tasks that I had put off — interior painting, deck power washing and re-staining, repairing a stone walkway, and more. I trusted their team and they quickly executed each task with professionalism, quality and courtesy. I will continue to use them whenever the need arises. And if ever I decide to build/renovate my dream house, I know they’re on my list to call first. > > They’re also just really nice people. Everyone I interacted with was kind, professional, great with my children, and all around wanting to help. Highly recommend. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It’s been our pleasure. And when you’re ready for that dream house we’re here for you! **★★★★★ — Joy Zesiger, Dec. 2024** > We had an excellent experience with Finecraft on a challenging project that took several months to complete. We consulted several contractors and Finecraft was the one that came up with the best approach for our project. We are grateful for their excellent staff, their considerable expertise, and the high standards they bring to their work. We would recommend them highly. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > That’s very nice of you! It was a pleasure. We’re glad to have been instrumental in your project and happy to have fulfilled your desires. Happy New Year! We’re here if you need us for anything else. **★★★★★ — Mikhail Elfond, Sept. 2024** > We had our kitchen remodeled. > Happy with the job done. > Great communication. . > On time, highly professional, courteous. > Exceded our expectations > Highly recommend **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It means a lot to us! **★★★★★ — HU-30399570, Sept. 2023** > Our kitchen remodel with Finecraft turned out great. They were clean and had great attention to detail. We would use them again! **★★★★ — songeons, March 2023** > FineCraft was extremely responsive and engaged, and in most of the work that they did for us, conscientious and detail-oriented. Overall, we were very happy. I didn't give five stars because of some small areas where they were rushed and were not as neat, and one point when they started to fix some tile, but didn't measure beforehand, and so we were left with a hole in our wall that will need to be fixed as soon as we can track down the correct replacement tile. However, we have a lot of experience with contractors, and FineCraft is the best we've worked with; we plan to hire them again for our next project. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your feedback and review. It's greatly appreciated. We'll take care of that piece. Just let your Project Admin know once the replacement tile comes and we'll get a guy scheduled to come out and handle it. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Karen Baratz, Jan. 2023** > FineCraft contractor built a beautiful screened porch for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were efficient, knowledgeable, professional, highly skilled and personable - not mention reasonably priced. We are delighted with the results and know they have done much interior renovation the delight of other homeowners as well. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your kind words. We very much enjoyed working with you as well. **★★★★★ — HU-53599590, Dec. 2022** > Aleks and his team at FineCraft were great partners in our renovation project. They went out of their way to make sure things were done to our satisfaction and to a high level of quality. When we weren’t happy with any of the pre-fab cabinet options, Aleks found a high-end, custom cabinet maker in Maryland for us, and they did a beautiful job. Aleks and team also worked with us to create a unique design for our kitchen that we are very happy with. I also found FineCraft to be reasonably priced and quick to respond when we had questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > We are really happy you are satisfied with the outcome! **★★★★★ — Tom Moyes, Oct. 2022** > We had an interesting and extremely positive experience working with FineCraft over the course of our basement renovation. We tasked them with a complex project involving the creation of three rooms, including a bathroom, laundry room and storage area out of an unfinished basement space. The project involved a complete gut, as well as a total redo of plumbing and electricity for the new laundry room and bathroom. > > After a long, hard slog, the result is a fabulously renovated "lower level", that has completely transformed our home. The new downstairs bathroom is the biggest and nicest bathroom in the house, while the laundry room is a place where you actually want to linger and iron your clothes. We are thrilled with the results. The FineCraft Team, led by Carlos, were excellent. There were a few bumps on the road, to be expected during a project with a complicated scope. These hiccups were very professionally and diplomatically dealt with by Carlos and his team. > > We are completely satisfied with their work and recommend FineCraft without reservation. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you! It's greatly appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to work on your project. **★★★★★ — Barbara Nelson, Aug. 2022** > FineCraft is a superb contracting firm!! Many in their firm bent over backwards to help me get an additional room and deck added to my townhouse. Everyone from the President of the company, to the manager of the project, to the guys who dug the trenches for a foundation were considerate, dedicated to completing the job and thoughtful about doing the best job they could. Even my architect, Paul O'Sullivan said he was impressed with their diligence to details. When we had a difficult situation, Ondrej, the project manager, thought of creative ways around the situation and listened to my concerns and helped me to understand how to create a successful outcome. > > It's a Top quality team. **★★★★★ — Mark Rasmussen, Aug. 2022** > The FineCraft team did a wonderful job fully renovating three bathrooms in our home. The team included skilled craftsmen with a friendly manner. The easy and creative collaboration with the team during the remodeling phase was key to making the project a complete success. Each morning my wife and I looked forward to the team arriving on the project site. They were punctual, prepared to work, efficient and thorough. The bathrooms are fabulous. I will not hesitate recommending FineCraft to others. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you so much! What beautiful words. It was a pleasure, Mark! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Walsh, Aug. 2022** > FineCraft did an amazing job renovating my master bathroom and creating a beautiful walk-in master closet in my 100 year old NW DC home. I should also add they rearranged several doorways in my space to open it up and make it flow more beautifully. Their team completely understood my vision and implanted every detail I asked for, their craftsmanship, professionalism, talent, cleanliness and efficiency exceeded all my expectations. They were able to move up my start date by two months when I requested it (on very short notice). Also, they finished in the specified time frame on our contract which was 7 weeks. Their project manager/craftsman Rosendo was an amazing tile setter and has an eye for detail, so professional and talented. He pointed out so many details for me to think about it, in advance to be sure we were on the same page and that we were making the project as beautiful and perfect as possible. Also, they have an amazing, talented wood floor specialist who matched and made the most beautiful wood floors in my space. I am so happy when I walk into my new master bedroom/ bath/closet area. Its stunning, with clean lines, great flow and beautifully installed new/modern everything. Thank you Fine Craft and Rosendo!! **★★★★★ — Jason Gudenius, Aug. 2022** > Simply put, Finecraft built us a magnificent home! We love all aspects of the work from the renovation and highly recommend them to others. They demonstrated exceptional skill and deep care for the project from start to finish, merging the best elements of our 1950’s colonial with gorgeous modern design. We’ve happily referred them to colleagues and friends. > > Excellent work. > > > -Jason and Nikki **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > That’s beautiful to hear. Thank you. We are very happy to hear you are satisfied and pleased with the results. **★★★★ — Emily Mazzella, Aug. 2022** > We had another great experience with Finecraft. Several years ago they were the ones we used for a kitchen renovation/addition so when it was time for a bathroom update, Finecraft was who we called. Once again they were wonderful to work with. > > The project went on quite a bit longer than scheduled due to a subcontractor issue but the Finecraft team did a great job of communicating with us and doing what they could while we waited for the subcontractor. At every step of the way, they were checking to make sure all my questions were answered and that I was happy with the results. The team was on time, kept the space clean and kept me informed. So happy with our updated space! **★★★★★ — HU-167997501, May 2022** > We could not be happier with our experience with Finecraft renovating our kitchen and bath, as well as overseeing the installation for a new HVAC system. Every craftsman was skillful, kind, and thoughtful of us as we maneuvered around them over the months of this project. The attention to detail was impressive, and the hands-on approach of George (the owner) and Vivian (the project manager - and George's first cousin) always made us feel totally confident that we were getting our money's worth. We recommend them without reservation. Maryetta Andrews-Sachs and Bob Zeskind - 4920 45th St. NW **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > We couldn’t be happier about the outcome and how it’s brought such joy to your lives. We’re here if you need us. **★★★★★ — Wagner Architects LLC, Feb. 2022** > I had the pleasure of working with FineCraft Contractors on a full renovation and addition that I designed for a client in Northern Virginia. George Papaheraklis and Vivian made a great team, paying close attention to details and quality workmanship. It is refreshing to work with a builder who has a collaborative approach and is 'hands on.' The client lived in the house during a large project and FineCraft worked hard to make that happen and ensure they were happy with the end result. I would highly recommend FineCraft as a top-notch builder to any of my clients and hope to work with them again! **★★★★★ — HU-32453602, Jan. 2022** > We really enjoyed working with FineCraft for our basement refresh. They were extremely responsive and took great care in making sure our project was done right and on time. They do a really nice job setting projects up with a team so you always know who your point person is for questions or concerns during the work. They also did a really nice job keeping us updated. We really appreciated that as issues came up (which they are always bound to do when renovating a 70 year old house) that our contractor was always ready with options as well as his best suggestion for how we could solve problems and make it work. We will definitely be returning to FineCraft for future projects and are really loving our new basement space! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you as well and look forward to future projects together! **★★★★★ — Donald Lococo Architects, Nov. 2021** > I’ve had the pleasure and privilege to work of Fine craft Contractors for a very long time. The first time Owner and principal George Papaheraklis and I initially contracted with me was in 1987 almost 35 years ago! One can immediately ascertain that George has Architectural Training and an artistic eye merely by the way he could anticipate the next design move and and the way he can finesse meticulous details with visually graceful solutions. Our Attention to detail and the minutia are often a challenge for many general contractors but George leans into these challenges with a positive attitude and productive energy. One particular ecfample was the sculpture above the front door of our Midcentury addition and renovation. Initially a flea market fragment, DLA's last minute detailing required stone and steel. This could have been vocalized with frustration but instead was met by George Papaheraklis with passion and has become the crowning jewel of the composition. A client once heard George saying under his breath that his quest for good construction is "life sustaining" for him. Since we first met decades ago, his close knit staff has grown; in both size and professionality. One of our mutual projects was of particular challenge. However it was constructed methodically and intelligently along with Vivian who is integral to FineCraft's efficiency, stream lined production and "can do" nature. This was was no small task especially as two prjects they have worked with us on took place in the middle the pandemic. Dasha, Niko and Patrick who I have worked with personally are all a part of the caliber FineCraft Contractors brings to the table and table saw! **★★★★★ — HU-82719658, Aug. 2021** > We couldn't be more pleased with FineCraft! They flawlessly executed a complicated design to create a modern 'floating' porch on our 1930s center hall colonial house. All of their trades - including the mason, carpenter, electrician, painter, etc - worked together seamlessly and in lockstep to bring the project to life. We loved how George and Vivian were always coming by the house on a daily basis to answer any questions and make sure the quality was up to par. We always felt like we were up to speed on what was happening and where we were in the process. We would definitely choose FineCraft again for future projects and we are ecstatic about the work they did or us. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > That's so nice to hear. We are glad you like it. We too enjoyed working with you. Thank you very much! **★★★★★ — HU-974605208, Aug. 2021** > I have to say we are completely satisfied with the bathroom remodel. It met and exceeded expectations and was long overdue. I never had to question the teams expertise or competence which can't be said for every contractor in the DC area. We look forward to either working with your team again. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Such kind words. It was great working with you. Thank you. Till the next one! **★★★★ — HU-590548042, July 2021** > Great company--goes the extra mile. Very dedicated professionals who do what is needed to make it right. Great to work with. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It was great working on your project. **★★★★★ — rap4081, May 2021** > FineCraft just completed a major, year-long remodel for us in Northern Virginia. We are delighted with the quality materials, workmanship, and attention to detail. We lived in the house during the work. You might question this choice, but with FineCraft, it worked. We saw the same crews–not random contractors–every day. To a man, they were friendly, courteous, and took pains to leave a clean living space at the end of every day. George Papaheraklis was on site every few days, troubleshooting, improving, and explaining what was going to happen and in what order. The house looks great and is easy to live in. We got more than expected and at a fair price. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > It truly was a great joy working on your project. We are glad you like how it's turned out and we wish you all the best. If you need anything, we're here for you! **★★★★★ — HU-620317478, May 2021** > Consummate professionals! Easy to work with and would recommend these guys to anyone who wants a high quality and professional job! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > That’s very nice to hear! I’ll be sure to share with our team. **★★★★★ — HU-759511047, May 2021** > They did my addition and were excellent. Shout out to Chris who was always so kind and professional and always available when needed! **★★★★★ — Benoit Bosquet, Dec. 2020** > Finecraft prides itself on attention to detail, and indeed this was our experience throughout the renovation project (a kitchen and sunroom upgrade that opened interior space without modifying the exterior footprint of the house). To make our lives much easier, they built a separation wall between the work area and the rest of the living area and reconstructed a temporary kitchen on the main floor in the living area, so we were able to stay in the house during the construction. This made a big difference during the forced home-based work due to Covid pandemic. The staff left the place in good shape each day before leaving. At the end, they did not hesitate to come back several times and in a timely manner to complete the details remaining on the punch list. We love our new space. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much. It truly was a pleasure to work on your project. Enjoy! Merry Christmas! **★★★★ — HU-700733199, Oct. 2020** > FineCraft has done two significant projects for us - a major terrace remake four years ago and now a total kitchen renovation. We are very pleased with their workmanship and the ease of our working relationship. On several occasions, they have taken extra steps to please us. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > It’s been a pleasure on both projects! We’re glad you’re happy! **★★★★★ — Chris H, Oct. 2020** > We were converting a two story great room into a second floor with new bedrooms, as well as renovating our kitchen and a bathroom / laundry room. With a baby on the way our timeline was tight - no room for delays - and Finecraft not only delivered but exceeded all expectations in terms of reliability, craftsmanship, and staying true to the estimate. We were out of town for most of the project and were able to communicate effectively with the team via mobile app and/or Facetime. Once we were back in the house, Rosendo and his team were very respectful and friendly (and kept everything clean!), and responsive to any and all questions or minor issues. Would hire them again for any project. Very pleased with the final result as well as the process. Thank you! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! We're very happy to have completed before the arrival of the baby. CONGRATULATIONS! **★★★★★ — Mindy Suissa cohen, Aug. 2020** > Finecraft did an excellent job, our addition is beautiful and they were nice to work with. We had a few hiccups along the way, but they were quick to fix. **★★★★★ — Hill & Hurtt Architects, PLLC, July 2020** > We have had the pleasure of working with FineCraft on a handful of projects. They are attentive and responsive to both clients and fellow professionals. We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with the crew at FineCraft. **★★★★★ — ROBERT BLACK 5 design, June 2020** > It has been a pleasure to work with the Finecraft team. They have great communication, responsive and their attention to detail is top notch! I am looking forward to future projects with Finecraft!! **★★★★★ — Mike Berigan, June 2020** > Finecraft did a fantastic job on our renovation -- we highly recommend them. Thanks to all the staff, but especially to Rei for shepherding the project through on the site. We were consistently impressed by the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the project. We can't thank the team enough. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! We'll be sure to extend your "thanks" to Rei. I'm sure he'll be very grateful to hear the feedback. **★★★★★ — Jen, April 2020** > We had a great experience with a Finecraft from start to finish. Their professionalism, attention to detail and flexibility were remarkable. Our project turned out even better than expected, at a very competitive price. We are delighted! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Jen! It was truly a pleasure. Enjoy your new screen porch. **★★★★★ — Lippincott Architects, March 2020** > Once again it was a pleasure working with George Papaheraklis and the Finecraft team. This project was very sophisticated, involving creative building challenges which Finecraft easily met. George always adds both value and Grace. > Evan Lippincott, Lippincott Architects **★★★★★ — Jonathan Kuhn Architect, March 2020** > It was a great team that worked diligently and cohesively to deliver a new beautifully detailed and elegant two-family home on Capitol Hill! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Jon! It was wonderful working with you on this project! **★★★★★ — Renne Paul, Dec. 2019** > Fantastic experience! We just love the team at FineCraft Contractors. We have used them for two renovations at our house and will use them again. Their customer service and professionalism are outstanding. We absolutely love the finished project and would recommend them to any looking to do work on their home. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Renne! We too enjoyed the project! Until the next one. :) **★★★★★ — Laura Moen, Sept. 2019** > We hired FineCraft to renovate the basement in our 1958 split-level home. It was important to us for the project to create a more functional living space that was still traditional enough to match the rest of our home's interior. They did a terrific job - followed the architect's plan to the letter. The quality of the work was top-notch. In fact, the WSSC inspector thought the work under his purview was the nicest he'd seen. The members of the construction crew were polite and professional. George has a fine aesthetic that clearly carries through to all of the work done by FineCraft. The workmen who laid the tile, particularly in the bathroom, are truly artisans. It is a lovely space, and we could not be happier. I'd recommend FineCraft to others who are considering a remodeling job. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your review. We are so happy that you're happy with how the project turned out. All the best to you and your family! If you need us we're a call/email/text away. :) **★★★★★ — jerome lamboy, Aug. 2019** > We have done the remodeling of a bedroom (with loft + stairs) and a bathroom. > We were very pleased with Finecraft and I would highly recommend them. > This is a team of high professional with a very friendly staff. Everybody in the team has some specific expertise and are managed by a project lead. Though, the company is not too big and you can feel that this is a family business company and that they care about project. **★★★★★ — Labaran Ahmed, Aug. 2019** > Working with Finecraft was a very rewarding experience for me. The company worked well with my architects and executed all aspects of the project in a professional manner. I look forward to working with them again! **★★★★★ — Joyce Farling, Aug. 2019** > Our screen porch has a wow factor. Finecraft took the architect's plans and turned them into a gorgeous and functional room. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of the construction. They stayed within the specified time and budget constraints. It was a pleasure to work with all members of the Finecraft team. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Ajit Kulkarni, May 2019** > We went through a long process of selecting a contractor for a remodel of our home on Capitol Hill. We are so glad we chose the fine people at Finecraft. The moment we interacted with them, we knew that there was chemistry. It was a long project with many customized flourishes that were unique and challenging. The Finecraft team did an incredible job and delivered our dream house. Their professionalism, attention to detail and overall team work made for a stress free journey through the construction. If we had to do this again, we will do it in a heartbeat. > > Thank you to the entire Finecraft team - Specially Jose and Dasha. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much, Ajit. It was a pleasure to service you and create such wonderful spaces for your enjoyment. **★★★★ — Richard Grier, April 2019** > Enjoyed working with this team. Very professional and worked hard to minimize disruption to our family during construction period. Quality of work was stellar and communication was excellent. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Richard! It was a pleasure working with you as well. Enjoy your new home! **★★★★★ — Yvonne Rodgers, Feb. 2019** > This team of professionals has an amazing ability to see what it is you want to create. I have worked with this team in the community many times and when it came to getting a bid on my personal project, I knew they would not disappoint us. Finecraft came, was on time listened to our ideas and then really looked at what we had to work with and created a plan that would work in our family budget. They also gave us plenty of referral projects to go look at and customers to talk to for references. It's not like, here are 3 people, its years of happy customers. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship on their projects was what sold us. Quality and excellent follow up. **★★★★★ — John Offutt, Feb. 2019** > Finecraft Contractors, Inc is an absolutely first-class organization. Their name suits the quality of their management, personnel, and workmanship very well. They are true professionals in every sense. During the course of our home elevator construction and installation project, my wife and I got to know the Finecraft management and craftsmen team very well. We have only the most complimentary things to say about their courtesy, creativity, flexibility, and project management and execution skills. We highly recommend Finecraft Contractors, Inc to anyone who is looking for a superior home remodeling contractor. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > It truly was a pleasure, John. Thank you for such kind words. We wish you the best. **★★★★★ — Gardner Architects LLC, Feb. 2019** > Finecraft did a wonderful job on this project. In particular, their craftsmanship, timeliness, and attention to detail were admirable. We look forward to working with them on Phase II of the project. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Amy. It's been a great pleasure. We look forward to Phase II! **★★★★★ — Saltbox Architecture, Feb. 2019** > We have now worked with Finecraft on a number of remodeling projects in the DC area. They are a highly professional and skilled Contractor that produces quality craftsmanship and on time project delivery. As Architects, we have found Finecraft brings value added ideas to the project whether it be product recommendations or if an issue is discovered how to solve it. We would highly recommend Finecraft to our clients. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It’s a pleasure working with you as well. **★★★★★ — Mike Harrington, Sept. 2018** > We hired Finecraft to build our screened-in porch on a recommendation from our architect and overall were very pleased with the project. The quality of work was very good and their team was professional and courteous. We would absolutely recommend them for similar projects. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It was wonderful working with you and creating your porch. Enjoy it! **★★★★★ — Sabine O'Hara, June 2018** > Finecraft Contractors is a top quality operation. I have done multiple renovation projects with George and his team, including bathrooms, kitchen, addition, terrace, and in-law apartment. Finecraft has a great sense of aesthetics, great attention to detail, and the construction site is left impeccably clean every night. That's why I am a return customer! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Sabine, it's always a pleasure working with you. We are looking forward to the next project right around the corner! **★★★★★ — Jimena Layton, April 2018** > Finecraft contractors is a well rounded professional company in the DC area. > Their crew is highly skilled and the staff has superb customer service. Every project we have seen has exceeded our expectations. It is hard to find a building company with such high attention to detail. Working with the Finecraft family makes your experience enjoyable and gratifying. **★★★★★ — MasterCraft Solutions, April 2018** > I have worked on several projects with Finecraft. They are an excellent company to work with and have a pleasant and knowledgeable staff that will always make client communication, service and quality their to priority! **★★★★★ — Morgan Barnes, April 2018** > Finecraft did an excellent job renovating our garage and converting it into a gym. They were prompt in their reply and finished the project in the time they quoted which is huge! The price was reasonable and the staff was very responsive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them for any home renovating project and will be using them again in the future! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! We had a pleasure! Look forward to another one. **★★★★★ — Patrick Horrell, March 2018** > I hired Finecraft to handle a gut renovation of an 1890s townhouse in downtown Washington, DC. The property was an absolute mess and had been abandoned for 20 years. Finecraft were able to retain the front facade while constructing a new modern home with what was left of the old bones of the home. It turned out beautifully and is true to the architect's design. It was delivered on time and mostly on budget. I would recommend them to any other property owner in similarly situated historical/renovation jobs. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your review! It truly was a pleasure to work on this project with you and for you. It's turned out looking so beautiful. Enjoy it! **★★★★★ — Saul Architects, March 2018** > As an architect, I'm naturally very protective of my clients with regard to contractor selection. With Finecraft, i know that my clients are in good hands with a professional, honest, and thorough contractor. Their work speaks for itself in terms of quality craftsmanship, and they are a delight to working with. Communication is one of the most important parts of client management, and Finecraft clearly excels in this department. I would strongly recommend Finecraft to all of my clients no matter what type of project we design. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Eric, "thank you" is an understatement! It's much appreciated. The sentiments are mutual. **★★★★★ — Dan B, Feb. 2018** > We could not have imagined a better renovation experience! Everyone at Finecraft was a pleasure to work with from the owner all the way to the project manager, employees, and subcontractors. All were extremely nice, friendly, attentive, and with tremendous attention to detail. You could always contact them with a question and they would get back to you very quickly to explain or help. > > They did a great job on the addition of a mudroom, expansion and creation of a new open floor plan kitchen/family room combo, moving of a bathroom, renovation of two other bathrooms, and replacing the entire outside, including roof, windows, siding, patio, walkway, and portico. > > They completely transformed our house into a brand new property and we could not thank them enough. They were exactly on budget and on time, with no delays even though we substantially expanded the scope of the project. They were able to change gears smoothly and efficiently as our ideas evolved through the course of the work. They worked around our busy lives with 3 small children and were able to create a fully functioning mini-kitchen to allow us to stay in the house during the work. Highly recommend them for your renovation/addition needs. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > It truly was a pleasure working with you and your family. **★★★★★ — Vera Haime, Feb. 2018** > Finecraft did an extension on my historic house and it really is beautiful! George kept me in the loop about how it was all going. The team were efficient and respectful of my property and the problem-solving on the best way to get it all done was excellent. I would highly recommend this company. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for the kind works. It was a pleasure! **★★★★★ — Sarah Hayes Design, Jan. 2018** > As both architect and client, I was pleased with Finecraft Contractors. I found the crews to be hardworking and pleasant. With our project, George took a hands on approach from beginning to end, and collaborated well to help create what we envisioned for our home. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to us. It was a pleasure working with you in creating your kitchen, mudroom and room addition for your kids. Until the next one! **★★★★ — Tanuj Deora, Dec. 2017** > Generally quite pleased with our experience with Finecraft. We hired them to complete a three story, 900 sq ft addition (plus some renovations to the existing space) in our NW DC home originally built in 1932. They worked well with our architect, and showed consideration and willingness to work with us throughout the process, and were responsive to the minor concerns of our neighbors. We were able to stay in our home throughout the project, which was completed (though punchlist) in less than 6 months. > > In particular we found the quality of their carpentry (everything from floors, decking, exterior, closet work, trim) and paint to be outstanding. We were very impressed, and received lots of compliments from friends and family. > > Two areas I'd suggest clients keep in mind; first, as with almost all contractors, their approach to project management isn't to the same standard as with full service design-build firms. You'll want to be proactive on communication about timelines, and confirm everything in writing (either emails or text.) They are great at honoring commitments, but sometimes memories aren't perfect, and it's helpful to have a record. > > The second area, related to above, was with the electrical work. We did change things up a bit, but even with that, I wasn't super happy with the electrician. Some of the work could have been done to a higher quality, and we had to tussle a bit him to get what we wanted; in a couple of cases the project wasn't done exactly as we wanted. That could have been prevented if we did a better job documenting and holding them to what we discussed. > > That all said I'd definitely recommend them. Friendly and flexible, quality workmanship, and great price. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Tanuj, it's been a pleasure working with you on your project. We appreciate the points you've brought up and are already in the process of correcting them. It's with candid feedback we get with surveys and reviews that we can pinpoint areas which need some attention and likewise areas we're strong in so we can reenforce them. We look forward to you and yours enjoying the newly-created spaces. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!...To a fabulous New Year! **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2017** > We hired Finecraft to repair our master bathroom after the discovery of a leak and mold. The Finecraft team was very professional and a pleasure to work with. They listened to our concerns as well as our ideas and came up with recommendations that fit with the design. They have a great network of suppliers and we were able to find great deals on tiles, fixtures and granite. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for the great opportunity to work with you in making your master bathroom a space you like and enjoy. Until next time! **★★★★★ — Marianne Pappalardo, Sept. 2017** > After a year of discussions with our architect and Finecraft over the renovation of our 1920s colonial, we decided to go from a one story addition to a three story addition. George patiently addressed numerable questions raised by my detail -oriented husband. We lived in the house during the eight months of renovation, which enabled us to closely examine the outstanding craftsmen at work. George regularly came up with creative solutions to maximize the functionality of the space within our budget. When my husband and I disagreed about anything, we could always rely on George's professional vision and diplomatic resolution. My serotonin levels would rise each day when I saw George and Vivien arrive in the red pickup; they inspire confidence.The Finecraft team is committed to excellent craftsmanship in a timely manner. We enjoyed working with them immensely and would love to do another project with them soon. **★★★★★ — Susan Millonig, Sept. 2017** > Finecraft Contractors is by far, the most professional, caring, competent company we have used to work on our home. They completely restyled our 1940's Cape Cod 1st floor, as well as completed other outside improvements with magnificent results. From start to finish we always knew what was going on with our project. All of the folks on the project were absolutely the best - and they all stayed on the job until it was finished. As with older homes there are usually surprises when making changes to the floor plan. Our team anticipated those possibilities and problem-solved with us to accommodate our wishes. We felt that Finecraft truly cared about us, our needs, and our home and we could not be more pleased. We truly feel part of the Finecraft family! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > It was such a pleasure working together to make this happen! **★★★★★ — Tess Moran, Aug. 2017** > Tess Moran and Cabinet Discounters have worked with Finecraft Contractors on many projects. Finecraft can always be counted on for beautiful craftsmanship, excellent project management and top notch customer service. **★★★★★ — Don Hershey, Aug. 2017** > Fisher Lumber has been working together with Finecraft Contractors for four decades, They perform first class, detailed workmanship. If quality is what you want in your home improvements...look no further **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > So beautiful to hear from the top lumber supplier in the DC Area! Thank you, Don! **★★★★★ — studio natv, Aug. 2017** > I am an architectural designer based in LA, and my parents live in Rockville, MD. Though they were in need of some basic home maintenance repairs as well as a kitchen renovation, they were completely intimidated by the construction process and didn't know where to begin. Finecraft was recommended to me by a reputable architecture firm in Maryland, and it was a very smooth process to get everything completed on time and on budget once they were provided with a scope of work and design, even from across the country. My parents are now thoroughly enjoying their kitchen makeover and new, non leaking windows. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > This is beautiful to hear. It's been a pleasure, and we look forward to the possibility of working with you on other projects in the future. **★★★★★ — AXIS ARCHITECTS, July 2017** > We were the architects for a complete 2nd floor remodeling job in Rockville. The project included the complete reconfiguration of the master bathroom and bedroom as well as moving the laundry closet into a new laundry room. We recommended Finecraft to our clients when they asked us about a trusted contractor. Often times it is risky for an architect to recommend a certain contractor but with Finecraft we have no hesitation. I know they will be professional, honest and if selected do a good job that is in line with the design intent. > I highly recommend them for your home remodeling projects. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for such a lovely review. It's been a great pleasure working with you and look forward to many more! **★★★★★ — sophia lopez, July 2017** > Professional company with a very personal touch. High quality work- You truly get what you pay for! I feel confident every time I refer them to friends or clients. They earn & keep the love & trust from their clients because they are passionate about what they do. Can't say enough wonderful things about this company & leadership! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for such kind words. It means the world to us. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Karla and Seb Maloveste, May 2017** > We hired Finecraft to perform a remodeling of our townhome third floor. It was a significant undertaking as every room was impacted by the remodeling, which involved the renovation of the master bathroom, second bathroom, creation of a laundry room, expansion of closet space in the 3 bedrooms, creation of 2 linen closets, and renovation of the half bathroom on the main floor. Finecraft was recommended by the architect who designed the plans of the remodeling, as he pointed out the quality of the work performed. We ended up hiring Finecraft because they were interested by the project and they wanted to work with us. In comparison with other general contractors we interviewed, their pricing was very competitive. Overall, the project lasted 2 months. Our family of 4 lived in the house while under renovation, the workers were very accommodating and respectful of the circumstances, and most importantly very clean in consideration of the work performed. What we are the most pleased with is the quality of the work and the details in the finishes. They fully enable the vision we had for this remodeling. Even though we wish that there was more clarity on the agreement, better communication with certain change orders, and more flexibility with the allowances, we are very pleased to have chosen Finecraft. The functionality of our new layout and the beautiful bathrooms are now permanent features of our new home, working with Finecraft worth every single penny. We also referred Finecraft to friends who have subsequently hired them for their project needs. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your review. It means the world to us. It was a pleasure working with you at well. We overcame those hurdles and now it's "sit back, relax and enjoy the newly-created spaces" time. Enjoy! We hope to have you and your family at one of our open houses this year or at our holiday party at the end of the year. All the best! **★★★★★ — Brian Hint, May 2017** > Top notch service! > > After meeting with over a dozen contractors, we found Finecraft to be the perfect fit for our renovation. They performed the work within the timeline specified and ensured we didn't exceed our budget. The crews showed up Mon-Fri at the same time and progress was made each and everyday. Although we (the customer) made a number of mistakes, Finecraft was patient and understanding, ensuring we were satisfied every step of the way. > > Overall, we would recommend anyone use Finecraft for their future renovation needs. I never wouldn't of imagined I would ever be so happy with a contractor's performance, but here I am, writing this review. If your a stickler for exceptionally high quality work without having to pay ridiculous prices, go with Finecraft, it will be worth the wait considering their high demand. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Our sincerest "thank you"! It was a great pleasure working with you on your project. If at any time you need anything please don't hesitate to give us a call. **★★★★★ — Architecture Stones, April 2017** > We have been working with Finecraft Contractors for a while now and have had a great experience - we are stone fabricators and they send us their clients to choose their countertops. They are professional and helpful to ensure their clients needs are met - whenever we need specific information about about a job, they always make sure everything is correct and we are on the same page on every project. As a sales representative, I know how important it is to communicate with the client - especially if there is a contractor involved. > We definitely recommend Finecraft for your house renovation and look forward to working with them for future projects. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for such kind words. And we most definitely have had a 5-star experience with Architecture Stones! We enjoy the excellent customer service every time we work together or bring one of our customers to you. Architecture Stones, in addition to being one of the best fabricators in the DC area, your customer service is bar one. We look forward to a continued wonderful relationship. **★★★★★ — Ross Heller, April 2017** > Finecraft is just terrific. Their staff is friendly; their work is meticulous and the did our project on-time and within budget. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your kind words! It was a great pleasure working with the two of you! **★★★★★ — Brad, April 2017** > I have had the pleasure to work with Finecraft on several projects. They are a family owned and operated business who takes pride in their work as well as delivering a remarkable experience to their clients. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your kind words. It's always a pleasure working together. **★★★★★ — Craig Higgins, April 2017** > Finecraft is an unusual combination of exceptional talent, fine craftsmanship, delivering more than expected and with personal touches that would make any home remodeling or home construction project a dream for the owner. On time, on the ball, on target and on top of the project from start to finish. It's been a pleasure to attend the open houses to discover the range of services and beautiful outcomes. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your kind words. We enjoyed your company. Come to our next open house! **★★★★★ — Don Metz, Jan. 2017** > Mario worked on two separate projects at my home. One was an outdoor window that needed to be rebuilt the other removing an old bar area and replacing it with a closet. Mario was efficient, polite, fairly priced and provided outstanding workmanship. I'm using him again this month for yet another project. I highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Reico Kitchen and Bath, Jan. 2017** > I am an Interior Designer and I had the pleasure of working with Finecraft Contractors, Inc. because my client was doing a major renovation, and Finecraft was doing the remodel. > My experience in working with them was professional, cordial and efficient. It seemed that our mutual goal was to make sure that our client got what they wanted to their utmost satisfaction! > I treat every client like I would want to be treated...................and that's what I saw in Finecraft Contractors, Inc. as well! Keep up the professionalism and quality of your work!!! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much. The feeling is mutual, and we look forward to more collaborations in the future. **★★★★★ — dashac2006, Jan. 2017** > I have found Finecraft to be a very professional company, who focuses on customer satisfaction and delivering a superb product above all. From first contact to finishing the project, Finecraft is friendly, professional, and genuinely cares. The project turned out beautiful and better than I expected!! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! We enjoyed working with you and love the outcome! **★★★★★ — Len Mangiaracina, Dec. 2016** > We hired Finecraft for three projects that included remodeling our kids bathroom from a single user to multi user setup, refinishing our basement, and creating a built-in bookcase/fireplace/TV wall for the master bedroom. All 3 projects turned out great. The team working on the projects where there every day, and they staffed resources accordingly - so some days it was 2 guys, and other days there was up to 5 guys depending on what needed to be accomplished. All projects where completed within the time estimate, and on the agreed upon prices. Their construction staff all wore corporate tee-shirts, and where professional and careful of cleanliness and the surrounding spaces. While I think it is hard to determine a low cost provider for these types of services, value is more important. And Finecraft delivered that, as well as adding a designer to take our project visions into reality. We have more work to do, and will hire them again. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Len, it surely was a pleasure working together! We look forward to another opportunity in the near future. Merry Christmas and happy new year! **★★★★★ — Tom and Amy Doolittle, Nov. 2016** > We hired Finecraft to renovate our late-1890s row house in DC, including putting in a new kitchen. We were very pleased with the work done by Finecraft. George and his team were able to create a kitchen that has all of today’s modern amenities but still has the charm and finishes consistent with the age of the house. The craftsmanship of the cabinetry and molding is beautiful. They created plaster molding in the kitchen that matches the original molding perfectly. Beyond the kitchen, the Finecraft team carefully restored the walls, molding and floors back to their original glory and updated our powder room and foyer tile. The work was done timely and within budget. And, the Finecraft team was responsive to our questions and requests. We would recommend them without reservation for any type of renovation – from new build to restoring an older home. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Tom and Amy Doolittle, Thank you very much for those kind words. Likewise, it was a great pleasure to work with you and to create this beautiful space with you. And a great team it was with C\|S Design Studio LLC! **★★★★★ — Sandy Martini, Nov. 2016** > George and his crew are complete professionals with and eye for details. The additions to our house by Finecraft are high quality and very well constructed. I highly recommend them for any project. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for the kind words. We too enjoyed working with you and creating a beautiful addition to your house. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — KLEBER MACHADO, Sept. 2016** > We were set to hire another contractor when we met George Papaheriklis of Finecraft Contractors, Inc. Not having any experience remodeling or hiring contractors and after hearing some of our friends’ experiences we were very weary and nervous about the whole process. George’s openness, demeanor and patience answering all of our questions and concerns put us at ease in no time. Needless to say, after just a few minutes we knew we have found our contractor. The experience overall was great and the end result fantastic. It was not without its ups and downs, but during the process George and the Finecarft’s crew were very patient, diligent and most of all professional. They addressed all of our requests and made sure we were completely satisfied with the end work; not an easy feat when dealing with a self-professed perfectionist. An inch to the left or to the right was not an issue; they worked very hard to make us happy. George was very hands-on throughout our project and was available anytime there was a question or concern. He was very candid and willing to explain things to us both regarding the scope of work and the costs involved, especially on those pesky change orders (our own requests). Because of his background in architecture, George offered suggestions and made changes that made things just right, going so far as to doing things just because they will look better, no change orders. We were living in the house while the renovation/addition was going on. Finecraft not only provided us with a temporary kitchen, complete with a sink and running water, while they did the work, but they were very accommodating to our needs and timing, made sure everything was clean at the end of the day and took every possible precaution to avoid dust and debris coming into our living space. Many friends have commented on the craftsmanship and quality of the work. Most of all, Finecraft stands behind their work, they have been prompt and thorough in addressing all those little and no so little things that sometimes pop up on new construction; nothing has been too big or too small for them to come and fix. In the end, what matters most is that George and the Finecraft’s crew has our gratitude, respect and above all, trust. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Kleber, thank you very much for such a wonderful feedback. We appreciated working with you and enjoyed creating together on this project. We're here when you need us! **★★★★ — Trine Eriksen, Sept. 2016** > We contacted Finecraft for a smaller project in the summer of 2016 based on the Houzz reviews. They contacted us back very quickly, but because we had a tight deadline, Finecraft were not able to do the project themselves, but recommended one of their sub-contractors called American Trademark. AT renovated a small master bath for us on a very short deadline and completed the project in just over 2 weeks. The process went smoothly and we got the bathroom we wanted. They cleaned up at the end of each day and kept the mess to a minimum. The team was professional and met the deadline and stayed within budget. After completion, we noticed that some paint in the stairway to our second floor had been ripped off probably when they removed the paper that had protected the stairs. Not a big job to have fixed, but the reason what I did not give the full 5 stars. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Trine, thank you for your review. Let us know when you'd like us to come by to handle that small patch. Contact Niko. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — dmruddy, Sept. 2016** > We hired Finecraft Contractors, Inc. for a third floor addition to our row house in Washington DC. We would highly recommend Finecraft as a contractor. We were very happy with their work. In addition, they were responsive, answered our questions and concerns promptly, and went above and beyond to make sure the project was completed to our satisfaction (including the completion a number of added change orders along the way and completing punchlist items). **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for the opportunity! It was a pleasure! **★★★★★ — HU-857255, Sept. 2016** > We contacted Finecraft because one of my coworkers had used them for 2-3 projects and recommended their work. Niko and Chris came to the house and looked over the kitchen. They immediately made some useful suggestions about the design for our new kitchen. Niko put us in contact with a first rate designer. We visited Appliance Distributors Unlimited (ADU) after seeing the listing on the Finecraft website. We worked with the designer and a representative from ADU through several iterations of design, cabinet selection and appliance selection until we had a design and set of appliances that we liked and that fit within our budget. The good folks at Finecraft got to work on Tuesday July 5th and finished on Friday July 15th. They had told us it would take about two weeks, meaning 10 business days, and it took 9 Most of the work on the kitchen was done by one worker, Moses, and his assistant. The work was extremely well done. Moses is a true craftsman. He is meticulous and he knows what he is doing. There were several points along the way at which we had to make decisions about routing wires, the vent for the hood and other things. We were given the opportunity to participate in the decision making where it was appropriate to do so. All in all, we are very satisfied with the final product. I would be very happy to have Finecraft do other projects, such as our master bathroom, especially if Moses or someone else with similar skill is involved. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It was a great pleasure working together on this project with you. The outcome is exceptional. **★★★★★ — jfrazier, Sept. 2016** > After interviewing several other local contractors, I hired Finecraft to relocate our master bathroom to the window line to permit natural light in the bathroom. We also created a master dressing room (closet). I was so impressed with their work that I expanded on the assignment to include several other projects. I truly enjoyed working with George. He is delightful to work with. George comes up with excellent/creative ideas to solve issues, while being sensitive to cost restrictions. George was personally very involved in our project from start to finish and he went over and beyond many times. The construction workers who were in our home were very respectful of our home and cleaned up every day. They were very accommodating and did an excellent job. FineCraft cared very much about our project and ensured that we were satisfied. I am very pleased with the project and FineCraft and highly recommend them. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > We appreciate your review and want to say what a pleasure it was to work with you on your project. Anything else that you need just call. **★★★★★ — njordan66, Aug. 2016** > We recently completed a magnificent kitchen and renovation project with Finecraft and we could not be happier. George and his team brought their fine workmanship and attention to detail that made all the difference in producing a finished product that exceeded our expectations. George was very hands-on throughout our project and made himself available anytime there was a question or concern. Because of his extensive background in architecture, George worked well with our architect and other vendors we used to complete our project. The entire Finecraft team was extremely professional, responsive and truly a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Finecraft to any homeowner interested in doing a renovation or building a brand new home. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for such a heartfelt review. We had such a pleasure working on your project and enjoy the relationship we now have with you. We're here for you! **★★★★★ — juttathornberry, Aug. 2016** > Finecraft did a fantastic job on remodeling my bedroom and bathroom. The work crew was tremendous -- talented, courteous, professional, on time. The design staff was very helpful in helping me with decisions on color, selection of materials and decor. They were very accommodating and a pleasure to collaborate with. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Jutta! It was a pleasure working with you as well. We're so glad you like the outcome. **★★★★★ — American Trademark LLC, July 2016** > We have worked with Finecraft Contractors, Inc. in several projects now and it we must say their work is 5-star. In addition to their quality and superb customer service, they are a joy to work with. It's rare to see first hand a construction company that stands behind their word and delivers with such abundance. The Finecraft team truly cares for they clients and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and satisfied with the project. Looking forward to more projects with them. **★★★★★ — HU-687079, July 2016** > My wife and I downsized to a condo. The location of our new condo was exactly what we wanted but the interior of the condo was not. We decided to gut our 2,000 sq.ft. condo and construct a very modernly designed one. After much searching, we and our designer chose Finecraft as the builders. We presented precise plans, which had a number of unusual features. Finecraft did excellent work: details of the construction were carefully attended to; they arranged for material to be brought from Portugal, Japan and elsewhere; they were flexible in accommodating some changes we made as the construction went along. The configuration of our glasswork was unusual in shape and size, but the work of Finecraft in managing to actually bring the glass into the condo and install it was truly impressive. > > The cost of the project was what we had agreed to. The project took a little longer than expected. But this was because of the severe limitations our condo association placed on the times when work could be done and the convoluted rules and unpredictable inspection scheduling imposed by the Fairfax County building inspection bureaucracy. > > Finally, the President of Finecraft, George Papaheraklis, kept a keen eye on the project's progress, as frequently present and responded quickly to any questions we had. We highly recommend Finecraft. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a great pleasure working with you to create the beautiful place you call home. If you need anything just give us a call. **★★★★★ — Michael Jenkins, July 2016** > Finecraft did great work for us, and when we had issues arrive, they were quick to rectify them. We are very appreciative of there attentiveness. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Michael, it was a pleasure servicing you. Enjoy your newly-created spaces! **★★★★★ — Emily Stafford, May 2016** > We recently had two bathrooms updated by Finecraft in our 1930s Glover Park house and could not be happier with the process and results! From the beginning Niko and his team excelled at communication - whether it was Niko checking in to make sure the work had begun on time or Chris (our project manager) letting us know what work would be done. We were impressed with how hard their team worked to make sure the project was complete before our planned move-in date. Every time we went to the house to check on the progress the team was working incredibly hard and were happy to show us what had been completed that day. We are already planning to use Finecraft again for future projects! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Emily, it was a great pleasure servicing you and creating what you and your husband wanted. We enjoyed working together. Until next time! **★★★★★ — Lisa Newman, March 2016** > In February 2016, Finecraft renovated our family room. The owner sketched a preliminary drawing based on our desire for light and warmth, and provided a ballpark cost estimate. We discussed the options and details, and finalized the plan and cost estimate with the caveat that we could be flexible with the artistic plan and the cost if and as needed. The big decisions were made prior to beginning the work. We were guided to a door company to select a door and a stone company to pick out surround and hearth stone. To make a more expansive family room with plenty of light, they knocked down a wall; installed a window that matched the other two windows already in the room; built bookcases with storage cabinets; a window seat with drawers, and a closet; installed a wood floor and ceiling lights; updated the fireplace from a brick to stone façade with an inset for a flat panel television; and replaced a sliding glass door with a double French door. The crew arrived on time each day, completed the work assignments, and cleaned up at day’s end. The crew was friendly, professional, and not intrusive. In fact, they were so trustworthy that we provided access to a key for flexibility such that we were not dependent on their work schedule. We were contacted at the end of each day with a summary of what was done, what would be done next, and what we, as the homeowners, needed to decide or go pick out in the week ahead, e.g., paint color, cabinet door knobs. The crew even moved large furniture in and out of the work space so we did not have to do so. Overall, our experience with Finecraft was extremely positive. The work was done within schedule and budget. We have worked with Finecraft on previous renovations, large and small, and will do so again. > The crew at Finecraft are true professionals, well trained, and skilled such that they act independently and do not require direct supervision. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Lisa and Carl, Thank you very much for this beautiful review. We always have a great experience working with you as well and look forward to other projects together in the near future. **★★★★★ — vturrisi94, March 2016** > I had the opportunity to work with George and his crew on a number of different home renovations ranging from small remodels to full bottom to top demolition through renovation. In all instances I found the crews to be pleasant and hardworking and fully in alignment with George's vision for the final product. George takes a very hands on approach to all his projects from the beginning to the end and works very well with his clients to create exactly what they envision for their new home. **★★★★★ — Gisela Interiors, Feb. 2016** > I have worked with Finecraft in three different projects and I find them very professional and detail oriented. I am a designer with many years of experience and worked with a lot of different contractors. Gisela Interiors **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Gisela, it has been such a pleasure working with you. We admire your professionalism and customer care with your clients and look forward to more collaborations in the near future. **★★★★★ — Nicole Lyshorn, Feb. 2016** > I contacted Finecraft from California after seeing a picture of a bathroom that I loved on Houzz, they answered the phone when I called and emailed me all the information I needed within 24 hours. They really were wonderful. Much appreciated for helping out!! 5 Stars for awesome customer service!! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Nicole, it was a pleasure. Any time! Thank you and good luck with your bathroom remodel. **★★★★★ — annapiepgrass, Jan. 2016** > After interviewing and getting bids and references from 10 different recommended contractors, we hired Finecraft Contractors to excavate and gut renovate our basement and they did an exceptional job. They worked with us to make my vision come alive, and their attention to detail and workmanship exceeded my very high expectations. The Finecraft team was reliable, respectful, and responsive, and they finished ahead of schedule and on budget. I would 100% recommend them. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > We thoroughly enjoyed working with you, your husband and the architect, William Feeney. The project turned our quite nice and we are thrilled that you are satisfied with the outcome. If you need us we're here for you. **★★★★★ — scschroeder, Dec. 2015** > We had Finecraft remodel our kitchen and family room from July 13 - October 13, 2015. Every aspect of the renovation was a positive experience. They said it would take three months, and they were done basically three months to the date they started. The quality of work was superb and it was easy to get in touch with either the owner or foreman throughout the entire project. We will definitely use Finecraft again! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your kind review. It has been a pleasure working with and for you and your husband. The project did turn out great and we look forward to any future projects you may have in the future. Happy Holidays! **★★★★★ — Bonita Condon, Nov. 2015** > Finecraft Contractors are the best. Their workmanship is top-notch and their workers are all experts in the respective fields. They are a fantastic crew. We are pleased with our additions and changes which will enable us to stay in our house as we become less mobile. We now have a beautiful custom-made roll-in shower and other bathroom changes that enable a person in a wheelchair to use the bathroom. This was a tricky undertaking because of the configuration we wanted. Most importantly, the owner, George Papaheriklis, listened to us and made sure that the construction was perfect, He consulted with us all during the construction. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Bonita, thank you very much for this review. We have had a pleasure working with you and look forward to working together again should need our services. **★★★★★ — michaelsahouri13, Nov. 2015** > Fine craft Contractors lives up to their name, Fine Craft!

We are always here for you. **★★★★★ — marielladallas, Nov. 2015** > I am an Architect and worked with Fine Craft for a complete home redesign/renovation project. I happy to say that the project was a success. Fine Craft Contractors are very professional, detail oriented and incredibly responsive. They exceeded my expectations and would recommend their services to my clients for their future construction projects. They follow the design through, completed the project on time and exactly as it was planned. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Mariella, thank you for this feedback. It's much appreciated. We very much enjoyed working with you and look forward to many more in the future. Happy Thanksgiving! **★★★★★ — Drakakis Architecture, LLC, Nov. 2015** > I am an architect and worked with FineCraft on a kitchen/ family room renovation. Their > work is excellent and high quality with attention to detail. The project was finished within the timeline projected. I enjoyed working with George Papaheraklis, as he is a master builder with many years of experience, has a good eye, and brings great ideas to the project. My clients also enjoyed working with George and were very excited about the end product. I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! We too look forward to many more together. **★★★★★ — c\|s DESIGN STUDIO LLC, Oct. 2015** > We recently completed a large remodeling project in partnership with Finecraft Contractors, Inc. The project encompassed a large, high end Kitchen and two baths, including the Master Bath. George Papaheraklis and his fine crew are a pleasure to work with and have a keen attention to detail. No request was too small and every team member was respectful and professional. The end product turned out exactly as we had designed it, plus George made some wonderful suggestions along the way which were executed in the overall project. I would not hesitate to recommend Finecraft to my design colleagues or homeowners looking for a quality project! George is highly professional, easy to work with and his team is dedicated to their craft and always strive to achieve the highest level of client satisfaction. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > It was a great pleasure working with you, and we look forward to many other opportunities! Thank you for this review! **★★★★★ — P. L. Johnson Construction, Inc., Oct. 2015** > I have used Finecraft Contractors, Inc. on several occasions and I highly recommend using them on your next project. Finecraft does very high end work with prices that are reasonable compared to the industry. The management team, their organization of projects, keeping customers informed, happy and satisfied before during and after the project is complete is the best. I will definitely continue to use them and will refer them to anyone in need of a good contractor. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for writing your experience with us. **★★★★★ — Eric Klun, Oct. 2015** > Great Contractor to work with. Very professional and worked well coordinating scheduling for a smooth installation. High quality work and attention to detail. **★★★★★ — profaizer4, Sept. 2015** > Finecraft recently renovated our kitchen. Not only did they provide us with a temporary kitchen, complete with a sink and running water, while they did the work, but they were timely, professional and skilled in all they did. Their attention to detail elevated the project. Our kitchen has been transformed. We are extremely impressed by their efforts. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for the opportunity you gave us to provide you with our services. **★★★★★ — sniderb62, Aug. 2015** > I hired Finecraft to build out a previously unfinished basement, reconstruct a front porch and a side porch and replace all of the shutters on our house's façade. Finecraft did a tremendous job. The workers were professional, worked quickly but with high quality and there was always great communication so I knew what activities were going to occur and when. We actually had an unforeseen waterproofing issue with our foundation which Finecraft addressed quickly, provided an effective solution and executed the fix at a very reasonable cost. It was a pleasure to work with Finecraft and I cannot recommend them more highly. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It was a pleasure working with you as well. We look forward to working together on other house projects in the future. **★★★★★ — rarrende, Aug. 2015** > Finecraft Contractors, Inc. > > We completed a kitchen/family room renovation for our 40 year old home. We met with three contractors and received three quotes. From design support to workmanship and quality, we were pleased with every aspect of our experience with Finecraft. After seeing a Finecraft renovation in the neighborhood, we were sold. > > The entire team was professional, clean and respectful of our home. It is never easy to live through a kitchen renovation but George and Niko went out of their way to make the process easy for our family. Without question we would recommend FineCraft to friends and family. **★★★★★ — rmsaid, Aug. 2015** > Finecraft was recommended by our architect for a major renovation to our house (expanded and remodeled kitchen, family room and master bedroom ans master bathroom, as well as some other updates). > > The workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. Finecraft was very responsive throughout the project, they provided good ideas and suggestions, they cleaned up very thoroughly throughout theproject. The project manager was excellent and they clearly take great pride in their work. > > We had done another major renovation several years earlier in a former house and we wish that Finecraft had done that one as well, because there was no comparison in the quality and management of our earlier project with the one that Finecraft managed. > > I highly recommend Finecraft for any home renovation or construction project. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much! It's been a pleasure! Safe travels! **★★★★★ — bethsheba333, Aug. 2015** > We are first time home buyers and have never dealt with home renovations. Our house was in decent condition at purchase but needed a serious facelift throughout - we hired Finecraft to renovate the majority of the house, which meant new bathrooms, kitchen, new drywall pretty much everywhere, electrical, etc etc. They did an excellent job guiding us through the process (their site manager was particularly good, always calm, easy to talk to). They handled hiccups in the schedule and work plan very well, and had really good suggestions for improvements throughout the house (removing parts of walls, design ideas for custom cabinetry). Overall, excellent experience, and we are thrilled with the results. Highly recommend. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your feedback! It's great to hear, and we are glad to have serviced you. **★★★★★ — robkleindc, Aug. 2015** > Late 2014 through spring 2015, FineCraft undertook a major reconstruction of our backyard terrace, plus improvements to the inside of our house. Outside work included: new retaining walls with extensive foundation improvements, extensive drainage improvements, blue stone paving, tree pits, trellis and wood slat fencing, new lighting, redirected and reinforced stairways, and removal of sunroom parapets. Inside work included: two skylights, two new windows that required breaking through the existing structures, installing lighting fixtures and ceiling fan, and completion of requested small tasks. > > Being a project limited to a small area, detail design and execution were critical. We employed The Kurylas Studio as project architects. Kurylas Studios recommended FineCraft as one of several contractors. FineCraft’s expertise with architecture and attention to detail proved critical to the project success. As a real team effort, FineCraft working with the architect and us, made several valuable design alterations. They rebuilt one retaining wall rather than repair it and for a second retaining wall, they used traditional brick facing rather than ¼ inch brick facing. Both company owners and the project foreman were professional, respectful, knowledgeable and easy to work with. When we disagreed, their professionalism always led to quick resolutions, which all parties felt good about. Impressive to us was how fair FineCraft priced change orders. Not only are we satisfied, the whole team is proud how the project turned out. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > On behalf of the whole Finecraft family, we thank you very much for the opportunity you gave us to create a beautiful project for you. **★★★★★ — Madeleine, July 2015** > We hired Finecraft a few years back when we were planning a major renovation to our home. We had completed a similar renovation in the past on a previous home and the difference between our first experience and this one was like night and day. From the very beginning, George, his foreman and the crew were professional, responsive, worked quickly and efficiently and got the project done in the time estimated. We lived in our home during the renovation and the Finecraft crew showed up on time EVERY time, did the work each day and cleaned up!! after each days work. We had the same foreman for the complete project and he reflected George's and Finecraft's values of professionalism, attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship. During the process, George would review the upcoming work and make sure that all the details were taken care of. Their workmanship was superb, the fine details that speak to master carpentry and pride in workmanship are evident throughout the project. We have lived in our home for 10 years since that work was done and it still looks as good today as it did when it was newly finished. We recently needed some repair and remodeling done to another part of our home and we didn't even need to go out to bid - we just hired Finecraft again. You will not be sorry you chose them! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very, very, very much for such a heartfelt and warm review! We couldn't be happier to have had the opportunity of working with you to create a beautiful house project that has been enjoyed these past 10 years. - Sincerely, The Finecraft family **★★★★★ — Savannah Cotter, July 2015** > Finecraft Contractors, Inc. is an excellent company!

It's much appreciated! **★★★★★ — Joseph Richardson, Landscape Architect, July 2015** > This was my first experience working with George of Finecraft, He is a professional who listens, asks intelligent questions, and proposes great solutions based on his years of experience in the industry. The quality of Finecraft's work is high, and the staff is friendly and responsive. I strongly recommend George and the Finecraft team. **★★★★★ — Helen Crettier Wilkes, June 2015** > Finecraft built an addition and new outbuilding, designed by my firm, for one of the more finely-detailed late-19th century homes in the town of Kensington's historic district. The owners chose Finecraft because they wanted to match the quality of detail and workmanship that had sold them on the house in the first place. The end result did not disappoint. Finecraft performed at a high level of professionalism and the quality of their workmanship was superb. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Helen, it was a great project and what a treat to work with you. Thank you for your review! Together we accomplished this seamless transition with the addition. Great design work. It looks like one house built all at the same time! **★★★★★ — Harry Dovo, June 2015** > Finecraft has been in the area for 30+ years now and has demonstrated time and time again that their company stands for quality. I can say this because I've seen their work firsthand and I've followed them for many years now. I simply love their work and their quality. They stand by what they build no matter what. It goes without saying they really care for the houses they build and for the homeowners they collaborate with. > > As a homeowner, it's important for me to know that I can rely on the contractor I hire. I can say without a doubt that I can rely on Finecraft to follow through and produce a quality product without concern or hassle. Once you find this type of relationship you never want to let it go. > > Having a good contractor is one thing. Having a great contractor that you can work well with, that has good communication skills, coordinates well and who you can build a fine working relationship with is quite another experience. > > It goes without saying I'd recommend them without a doubt. > > Harry D. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your kind words!

Lapp Architects, LLC, May 2015** > Claude C. Lapp Architects has recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Finecraft Contractors, Inc. on a renovation and large addition. The experience has been outstanding. George & Niko possess wonderful communication skills that guide projects along without a hitch. Their knowledge and passion for the industry are ever-present through every phase of construction. > > Over the years, we have been lucky to have worked with many of the area’s finest builders and contractors. Finecraft ranks among the top from our perspective. We look forward to working with them in the future. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > We appreciate such a touching review. The sentiments are mutual! We look forward to many more opportunities of working together in the near future. **★★★★★ — Quality Window and Door, May 2015** > As a 25 year old Company, a window supplier such as ourselves have worked with thousands of remodelors locally. Finecraft Contractors have stood the test of time having more than a 20 year relationship with our company. This clearly speaks to the way they handle themselves professionally & work closely with their clients. The level of quality that they deliver every time ensures their future. Great companies such as this stay strong and busy making their Clients dreams become reality. We look forward for another 20 years & more. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > The feeling is mutual! Thank you for your kinds words! To another 20 years! **★★★★★ — Susie Soleimani Photography, May 2015** > The details and craftsmanship in the work by Finecraft Contractors is exquisite. Being an Architectural Photographer, I see a lot of houses on a daily basis. I'm very impressed with the close attention to detail and the quality of the work that Finecraft has put into this beautiful house. It's truly a work of art and I'm excited to photograph more of their work. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Susie, It was a great pleasure working together. You truly are a professional in your profession! We love your photos of our project. **★★★★★ — pneame, May 2015** > This project involved the complete renovation of the second and third (attic) floors of the back wing of our historic home, to create a master bedroom suite (with full bath and 2 walk-in closets), laundry area and linen closet on the second floor, and two bedrooms and a full bath on the attic floor. It involved creating 2 new dormers and a new gable on the attic floor and installation of new windows. Considerable upgrading of joists and rafters to meet modern codes was required in this historic home. Great care was taken to ensure that all changes were consistent with the historic nature of this home, including custom-milled moldings and use of antique recovered heart pine flooring, among others. > Finecraft did an outstanding job on this project, as they have in previous experience with them on other projects on this property. They took exceptional care to get the details of the finishing right. The same experienced workers were present for the entire project. They listened careful to any questions or concerns we had, and consulted frequently with us as the job progressed. They were highly professional at all times, and it was a pleasure to have them in our house (we remained resident in the rest of the house throughout the renovation). Their proposed cost for the project was reasonable, and the job came in at the agreed price, and we agreed to some minor change orders as the work progressed. The project took about 6 months for completion, which was somewhat longer than anticipated but not unreasonable given the structural work involved. > Overall, I have the highest recommendation for Finecraft for their professionalism and the quality of their work, from their initial comments on the design and detailing through demolition, construction and finishing, to the final clean-up. It was a pleasure to work with them and I recommend them unconditionally. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Peter, Thank you very much for such a fantastic review detailing what we did at you house. It was a great pleasure! Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Dagmar Papaheraklis, March 2015** > They are my favorite! They always seem to make things right. Even when things are tough they work through them and the outcome is always amazing. They have worked on several projects in my house and all of which are excellent products which reflect the level of detailed work that epitomizes Finecraft. From smaller projects to larger ones, from my experience, I can guarantee they'll leave you satisfied with the job you contract them for, hands down! **★★★★★ — RMI Remodeling, March 2015** > Finecraft says it all! What an amazing company. Their detail to workmanship, customer service and setting the standards for quality standards all across the board is what they are all about. George the owner of the company sets the standards for perfection in all the building and project management and Niko sets the standards for customer service and high end marketing using the latest technical tools to stay up with the newest building trends. Their team members hold to all these standards which make it one of the best remodeling companies in the area. I would highly recommend Finecraft to anyone looking for a company to take care of all their building needs and to any architect or design firm that would like to collaborate with their services. You can't go wrong in working with this company. > Randy Manning **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you, Randy! What a pleasure it's been working with you.

We enjoy working with competent and reliable contractors like RMI Remodeling who produce high-quality products which homeowners are delighted to see. We're glad to have you part of our Finecraft family. **★★★★★ — gamiles, Feb. 2015** > Finecraft provided on site inspection of 11 wooden window frames, including a bay window in the front and on the side of our townhouse. They identified the areas with water damage, developed a scope of work, and provided an estimate for replacing the damaged wood with a PVC product. Their estimate was far and away better than those provided by the other two contractors. They then proceeded to compete the scope of work over a four-day period. > > We were impressed from the beginning with the professionlism, customer relations, and communication with Finecraft. Niko, their office manager/supervisor was very communicative, as was Mario the primary carpenter/repairman. Mario and his co-worker, Henry, did a great job on all of the windows, some of which required a complex scaffold set-up. The results were excellent. We can now be assured of the integrity of those 11 window frames. > > I will use Fincraft again and recommend them to others. They did excellent work for us. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your kind words! We look forward to working together again on other future projects of yours. **★★★★★ — ttaousakis, Feb. 2015** > Finecraft has done numerous projects in my house, including the installation of hardwood floors, staircases, bathroom renovations and the installation of French doors. Their work was impeccable, their estimates to the point and their timing on target. One of the few companies that both the owners and the workers have integrity on their business transactions, put the customer above everything else and perform the work seamlessly, even when there are problems. > They recently completed a deck Gazebo that the the jewel of my deck and house. As in the other projects, their work was impeccable, on time and professional. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your review. It was a pleasure working together on your project. Enjoy the jewel! **★★★★★ — Ashley Profaizer, Jan. 2015** > Finecraft recently renovated our basement family room, bathroom, and bedroom. They transformed a boring, dark, subterranean basement into a beautiful light-filled, walk-out family room. In addition to renovating the bathroom and upgrading the bedroom, they also created a project room. The results are stunning. Their organization and attention to detail resulted in a large scale project that moved smoothly, despite involving the skill of several tradesmen, all of whom are on staff with Finecraft (no subcontracting challenges). We could not be happier with the results! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your review. We greatly enjoyed working with you and creating your new spaces that you and your family can now enjoy. We're here when you need us. **★★★★★ — kimmel1981, Nov. 2014** > I have had the pleasure of working with the professionals of Finecraft Contractors, Inc for several years now. I have seen many of their stellar products in working with them. I believe the staff of Finecraft work very hard to ensure that the high quality of service they deliver is really conveyed by their marketing so that their prospective client knows what they have to offer. It is the quality in their service and in their projects which is stressed from the project manager to their marketing director and it shows. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you very much for your review. It's very much appreciated and we will continue to do what we do to make our customers happy. Thanks again! **★★★★ — Keno Amagada, Oct. 2014** > They are very good with their job but expensive. They have great staff too! Be sure to specify anything you want for them if not you wont get it e.g if you want a bathroom be specific with every single detail you want in the bathroom down to the smallest detail like soap holder if not you wont get it. If you have the money and you desire a good job done call Finecraft! **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your review! It was great working together with you. **★★★★ — klrails, Oct. 2014** > Great work, with nice attention to detail. The workers were tidy, thorough, and professional.

George Papahericles, the owner, brings great passion, honesty and energy to each of his well crafted projects. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > It's always a pleasure working together with you and your firm. **★★★★★ — corneliazaiss, Sept. 2014** > I've been following Finecraft Contractors, Inc. online for several years now and the work that I have seen is just absolutely outstanding.

I've had the honor of meeting several their employees and they're such a pleasure to be around and they are very hard-working, reliable people.

From the meetings prior to the start of construction it was evident that George and his team have a high attention to detail. > > Having Finecraft’s experience to work through changes and modifications in the field made the process a lot easier for the client and myself. I was continuously amazed with the depth of skills within Finecraft and their ability to self-perform a lot of the work in this whole house transformation. I look forward to working with them on future projects. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > We enjoyed working with you on this project and look forward to others in the future. Thank you! **★★★★★ — mikemc54, Feb. 2014** > Finecraft built an addition on our home in 2006 and we asked them to renovate our kitchen which was just completed and is beautiful. They are exceptionally focused on detail ... we had a need to adjust the design of the project mid-stream and they undertook the change without complaint and at no extra charge. They are easy to work with, reliable and courteous. You just have to get used to the hammers going at 7:30am because they work a long hard day. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Just wanted to say thank you! We look forward to other opportunities to work together! **★★★★★ — thmsfx, Feb. 2014** > House build in early 1970s. Contempoary design. We acquired in 1977. Project was from 5/2011 to 11/2011. We had some specific ideas at outset, like remodel kitchen and baths, but more general undeveloped ideas for other improvements, like consolidating a small unused balcony room into a walk-in closet and enlarged bathroom. We moved out for 3 months. We never had any issues with Finecraft Contractors in clarity of work, the timeliness of completing projects , or billings. We did not use an architect or interior designer. Instead we relied upon Finecraft to recommend enhancements we did not see or think about, which was a brilliant decision on our part. Finecraft (George in particular) had the ability to visualize a change which could be made to enhance a rooms appearance, and in many instances with little added costs. For example outside windows for an expanded master bathroom, or remaking a large outdated family room with a cathedral ceilng into a dazzling room. We would recommend them without exception and use them again. It was indeed a pleasant experience. We continue to enjoy to this day their work **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Just wanted to say thank you! We look forward to other opportunities to work together! **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2014** > As a kitchen and Bath designer with 25 years of experience, I have worked with many different contractors. Finecraft is one of the best that I have ever worked with. They are true professionals and make all of my designs come to life for our clients. I have hired them to do work on my own home and would not hesitate to recommend them for any project, large or small. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for the amazing review! We appreciate it very much. **★★★★★ — plan Z a r c h i t e c t s, Feb. 2014** > As an Architect, I've had the pleasure of working with Finecraft Contractors and been able to count on George Papaheraklis' experience and knowledge on a couple of occasions. Finecraft Contractors' work embodies the company's name in as much as the end result of their labors can truly be qualified as fine craft. George's and his crew's professionalism is apparent from the planning stages to the execution of the final punch list. I look forward to collaborating in the future with George and his firm and would recommend his services to our future clients at plan Z a r c h i t e c t s. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Just wanted to say thank you! We look forward to other opportunities to work together! A wonderful project that was featured. The article can be read here: http://www.homeanddesign.com/article.asp?article=21711 **★★★★★ — James N. Gerrety, AIA, Feb. 2014** > Finecraft is an excellent home builder and home remodeling general contractor in the Washington, DC region. I have worked them them on at least 10 significant projects over as many years. What sets them apart are 4 strengths: > 1\. Their commitment to be faithful to the design created on paper and not deviate from it without sufficient cause. > 2\. Their commitment to maintain a customers trust and confidence with them during the course of the work. > 3\. Their technical expertise makes for an enjoyable building process. > 4\. Above all else, their ability to finish a project strongly and completely. Customers naturally expect this but it is not all that common in the remodeling industry. It takes a highly committed professional general contractor that is adequately compensated to achieve this. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Over the years it's been a great pleasure to work together with you, James Gerrety! Thank you! **★★★★★ — barrycutler, July 2013** > Owner George Papaheraklis is close to finishing our second project. One was demolishing a kitchen and family room, and making a single space with a "bump out" for a breakfast area. Neighbors who know our community are amazed when they see it. We have now gutted an old-style bathroom, vanity area and modest walkin closet and are making a larger integrated bathroom with a bigger walk in closet. > > What distinguishes George is that he is an artist with a keen eye. Not only will he tweak an architect's plans for aesthetic and functional reasons, but even as the project is in midstream, he is consstantly thinking, "perhaps we should do it this way (a frame around tiling) or switch a regular door to a pocket door or change the orientation of the stall shower glass door. He obsesses about little details and, in the long run, that makes a big difference. > > I found out about Finecraft in the house of a friend where George had gutted the back of the house and added on to it. I had no doubt about the big picture and the attention to detail. If any reader could see a typical Finecraft project up close, he would not have to rely on ramblings like this---he would see the work and know all he needs to know to hire the company. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Just wanted to thank you for a beautiful review! We hope you're enjoying your new spaces. **★★★★★ — Lynne Oakes, July 2013** > Finecraft Contractors completely revamped our family room. Tore out old dated paneling, and 'popcorn' ceiling. Now it is not all chopped up looking and it is calming to look into it. Also they made custom bookcases on the sides of the fireplace that have ample storage below and great display space above. I'm very pleased with the results and the respectful people who came into our home to do this work. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your review. We enjoyed working with you! **★★★★★ — jdallorto, July 2013** > Finecraft is an excellent construction company and a pleasure to work with. George Papaherkalis has an excellent sense of design and constructions, his crews are skilled, and the final product is enjoyable space to live in. I have hired them five times over 25 years and would use them again. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Thank you for your review. The article on the house project we built you can be seen online and it's a great read. **★★★★★ — Dennison and Dampier Interior Design, June 2013** > Finecraft is an excellent company to work with. Honest, reliable, creative, dependable and of course the attention to all the details are second to none, The crew are hard working and respectful. George is an inspiration and works so hard to come up with the best possible solutions for his clients. The team thinks creatively and out of the box which is so unusual. This is especially important in an historic renovation where sensitivity to the integrity of the house is key to bringing it back to life. > I would highly recommend > George and his team. **Comment from FineCraft Contractors, Design + Build:** > Just wanted to reach out to you since it's been a while. Thank you for your review. We want you to come back to the DC area.
