FineCraft Contractors, Inc.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Finecraft is just terrific. Their staff is friendly; their work is meticulous and the did our project on-time and within budget.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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!

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.

Fine craft Contractors lives up to their name, Fine Craft! Their leadership and crew were 100% and superseded all expectations. I highly recommend hiring Fine Craft if you want true quality work, professionals who are passionate, honest and efficient. A true headache free experience. Thank you Fine Craft for everything you have done for me and my family! Michael

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great Contractor to work with. Very professional and worked well coordinating scheduling for a smooth installation. High quality work and attention to detail.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Finecraft Contractors, Inc. is an excellent company! The staff are very professional and efficient. I was so impressed by their work. The quality and design of their projects are some of the best I've seen in this industry. I would gladly work with them again!

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.

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.

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.

I am very impressed by the spectacular new home Finecraft has constructed on Durbin Road in Bethesda. The exterior & interior exhibit an exquisite & spacious design, & it is a welcome addition to our evolving older neighborhood.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Great work, with nice attention to detail. The workers were tidy, thorough, and professional. Lovely design, over and above architect's rendering.

Since the early 1990's, I, an architect, have teamed up with and worked on many fine residential projects all around the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, including my own house. George Papahericles, the owner, brings great passion, honesty and energy to each of his well crafted projects.

I've been following Finecraft Contractors, Inc. online for several years now and the work that I have seen is just absolutely outstanding. I so wish I could have them come down to Florida to work on my future home. The quality of the work is just top-notch and if you are looking for the best product and service, I'd highly recommend Finecraft! 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. Like I said, I would hire them in a heartbeat.

Finecraft Contractors recently completed the construction of my design for a garage with guest suite above. The project was small but George Papaheraklis and his team gave it their full respect and attention. They were knowledgeable, detail oriented, and a pleasure to work with; I look forward to our next project together. Margaret G. Upton, AIA Upton Architecture Kensington, Maryland

Finecraft has done some of the best quality jobs I´ve seen. The company is composed of truly valuable people who deliver a fantastic product and a good experience.

Finecraft Contractors successfully completed 2 remodeling projects for me this year. Total window replacement and renovation of 2 bathrooms. They completed the work on time and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I would recommend them highly to any potential customer.

We have collaborated with Finecraft on several projects and have been impressed with their integrity, client commitment, as well as the overall quality of their work. Each of these projects were medium sized renovations with very complex design details. George and his team always try hard to please the client. We look forward to working with them again on future projects!

Finecraft does excellent work! Extreme attention to detail George has a very good eye and is very accommodating. His crew have been with him for a long time. That iIs very important to me as an Interior Designer. A Company is only as good as the people who work for them. I highly recommend Finecraft Contractors.

My first experience with Finecraft Contractors was when my clients selected George Papaheraklis and his team to complete the construction of a large renovation we designed in Chevy Chase. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Finecraft built us a brand new home from scratch and I could not have been happier with the work. The attention to detail was outstanding and they were so nice and communicated so well with us throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anybody.

When I work with George and his team of builders, I know that the final product is going to be beautiful. He gets the details right, he understands our design goals, and he puts his heart and soul into the work. Tamara Gorodetzky Project Designer GTMARCHITECTS

I have worked with Finecraft Contractors as a supply and design resource, on many projects over the years. George is very creative, exceptionally thoughtful, and he listens carefully and intently to the needs of his clients. He makes each project collaborative and enjoyable - always with the goal of getting the best result for his clients. He stays current on the latest in design and material possibilities, with a particular passion for quality construction. I would highly recommend George for any of your construction and design requirements

I am an architect that has worked with Finecraft on several residential projects and they do an excellent job. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb. They are able to think in architectural terms and their sense of design and aesthetics is very reliable. Their management of the construction process is well thought out, and benefits from years of experience. On the contractual side, Finecraft is very good at negotiating the cost of a project, providing valuable input for economy and buildability without cutting corners. I find the whole Finecraft team a pleasure to work with. I am happy to serve as a reference if necessary, and prospective clients may contact me at Studio One Architects (301.946.4601). Robert Smith, Principal.

I hired Finecraft to add a sunroom, new roof, portico and remodel 2 bathrooms. The work has been excellent with a foreman present at all times. The workmen are pleasant and helpful. They adhere to the highest standards in their work and I recommend them without reservation.

Finecraft built our house in 2012. They did great work. Really cared about our project and our family and it showed in the final project.

I had the pleasure of hiring Finecraft for a project recently that called for the addition of an outdoor living area to my home. The level of detail and commitment to quality was unsurpassed. These are Craftsmen, not contractors. It shows in every project they create. JF Homeowner
