Why Federal Hill Homeowners Choose Us

Federal Hill is one of Baltimore's most walkable, historic neighborhoods, with brick and stone rowhouses, Federal-style facades, and a mix of well-maintained and renovation-ready homes. Proximity to the Inner Harbor and a strong sense of community make property values and homeowner investment high. Elite Finishes has experience with Federal Hill's rowhouse layouts, shared walls, and the prep and product requirements that historic Baltimore construction demands.

The Local Advantage

Federal Hill rowhouses often have original plaster, historic trim, and exterior brick or stone that need the right primers and coatings. Lead paint encapsulation on pre-1978 homes follows EPA RRP protocols. Elite Finishes brings the correct materials and techniques so your project looks great and lasts.

What Baltimore City 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.”
