I worked with Evan and his crew on multiple jobs for cabinetry finishing and wall finishings including very old wood paneling that took extra care. They did a fantastic job and I will be calling them with all of my painting needs.

They did a fantastic job from start to finish. Evan and Matthew responded promptly to any questions or concerns I had. Miguel and his crew did a wonderful job painting the walls and ceilings. They showed up on time, were professional and cleaned up when they were finished. I couldn’t be happier with the job they did and will use them again for any painting projects I may have. I also won’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to get some painting done.

I am beyond pleased with this entire process and especially proud of the end result of my kitchen refresh! The communication from beginning to end was exactly as it should’ve been. Prompt. The work was professional, and any last-minute requests were made to my satisfaction. The transformation of my kitchen project in a very dated 1964 home is astonishing! I had a vision of what I wanted, but when I wasn’t sure, Evan and his crew made suggestions that I wouldn’t have had the knowledge to make otherwise. I found myself able to afford quartz countertops that I wasn’t initially going to replace, and that just completes the job perfectly! My last step is to figure out the backsplash design that I’ll be installing myself. I won’t hesitate to have these guys come back for my next project! Dave W.

We could not be more impressed with the work that Classic Finishes did for us in our new home. We had our built in cabinets and trim painted to match the kitchen cabinets. They completed all this work in one week (over an holiday) and were flexible in add ons and making changes as we go. The work is exceptional and we will absolutely be using them for future projects! We highly recommend Evan and his team for any painting or finishes you need done in your home. They are the best team!

Evan and Bob and the whole crew were great to work with. They were extremely flexible with changes in our remodel schedule and they were always prompt in their response when we had questions or concerns. When the job was complete everything was done to near perfection. The crew always left the house as clean as they could and they were very nice to work with. I would use classic finishes for any future painting projects in a heart beat.
