Why Annapolis Homeowners Choose Us

Annapolis is Maryland's capital and one of America's finest colonial-era cities. Its housing ranges from 18th and 19th century historic rowhouses in the Historic District to waterfront estates along Spa Creek, the Severn River, and the Chesapeake Bay. Annapolis homeowners take great pride in their properties, and the finish quality of any painting or remodeling project must honor the architectural heritage of these homes. The Historic District's stringent review process for exterior modifications adds an additional layer of responsibility that Elite Finishes takes seriously.

The Local Advantage

Annapolis historic properties require specific exterior paint products and application techniques. The Historic Preservation Commission has approved color palettes and finish specifications. Elite Finishes is familiar with the documentation and review process, and we select products appropriate for period architecture, including lime wash for masonry and oil-based paints for wood in some historic applications.

What Anne Arundel County Homeowners Say

Real feedback from real homeowners in the communities we serve.

“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.”

Annapolis FAQs

Real questions from homeowners in and around Annapolis.

If your property is in the Annapolis Historic District, yes. The Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior paint color changes for historic properties. The process involves submitting paint chip samples with the addresses and context photos. Elite Finishes handles this paperwork as part of our exterior projects in the historic area.

We recommend elastomeric finishes or 100-percent acrylic coatings for properties near the water. These products handle the humidity, UV exposure, and salt air that accelerate deterioration on standard paints. Proper surface prep, including pressure washing and full priming, is essential before any exterior coating near the Bay.

Yes. Annapolis rowhouse kitchens present specific challenges due to compact footprints, original millwork, and sometimes historic designation restrictions. We work within these constraints to maximize function and beauty, coordinating permits and the Historic Commission review as needed.

Yes. Our Annapolis service area covers the Historic District, Eastport, West Annapolis, Hillsmere, Parole, and surrounding Anne Arundel County neighborhoods.
