Why Essex Homeowners Choose Us
Essex is a waterfront Baltimore County community along the Middle Branch and Back River with a strong working-class heritage and a mix of post-war ranchers, Cape Cods, and brick rowhouses. Many properties are well-maintained and represent significant family investment. Essex homeowners tend to be practical, value-oriented, and appreciate contractors who are direct about pricing and do what they say without padding costs or cutting corners.
The Local Advantage
Essex's waterfront location and coastal exposure accelerate paint failure on improperly prepped surfaces. Elite Finishes knows the products and preparation methods that make exterior paint last in this environment, including anti-mold primers, moisture-blocking sealants, and elastomeric finishes that handle the humidity.

What Baltimore 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.”
