Our Story
Premium Painting and Remodeling, Done Right
We are a licensed Baltimore contractor focused on one thing: delivering finishes and renovations that look great and hold up. No shortcuts, no surprises—just clear estimates and work we stand behind.
Who We Are
We Transform Homes That Families Are Proud to Live In
Elite Finishes started with a simple idea: homeowners in Baltimore deserve a contractor who shows up when they say they will, does exactly what they promised, and delivers work that lasts for years.
Too many people have been burned by contractors who disappear after collecting a deposit, use cheap materials to protect their margin, or leave a mess that takes days to clean up. We built this company to be the opposite of that experience.
Every project we take on, whether it is a fresh coat of paint in Federal Hill or a full kitchen remodel in Towson, gets the same thorough preparation, the same premium materials, and the same honest communication from first estimate to final walkthrough.
We are not a franchise. We are not a national chain. We are a family owned company led by owner Victor Cataldi, with a crew that lives and works in this community and takes pride in making Baltimore homes look and feel their best.

Real Reviews
Hear From Our Customers
“I hired Elite Finishes to repaint the walls in my living room as I prepared to move out of my apartment. I almost chose to hire someone through TaskRabbit, but Victor the owner called and asked my reason for choosing someone else. He asked in a way which was not at all intimidating or made me feel pressured in any way. I decided during that call to cancel the TaskRabbit service and go with his company. He was personable as well as Jeff who prepared my estimate. They were professional and customer service oriented. It was a lovely experience and I would work with them again.”

“Had my house painted as part of house upgrades. I contacted Elite Finishes and the owner Vick responded and came out quickly to give me an estimate. He was very professional and gave me a reasonable estimate which beat the quotes received from other paint companies. He was able to provide the exact paint match of what I had in other areas in my house. We settled on the estimate and his painters were at my door early the next morning. The two guys, Charles and Jeff, were very professional and did an excellent job. They were very meticulous and used care when moving things in my house. It was an overall excellent experience from start to finish.”

“Victor and his crew did an amazing job painting the entire interior of our Baltimore City rowhome. I would highly recommend him! Victor's estimate was extremely reasonable and in line with what other local painters proposed. They did the work while we were out of town, and it was very easy coordinating everything with Victor, including house access and making sure they paid attention to some specific areas. Everything was completely cleaned up and the house looked great when we returned home.”
