Brian repaired an unsafe railing and banister on my new townhome. He was prompt and professional and the railing is now secure, safe, and looks great! Here is a video of the railing before and a picture of the braced post that is now stable and secure. Highly recommend.

Unbelievably unprofessional! I have tried contacting twice for jobs in my home as I’d seen FB posts displaying beautiful work done by this carpenter. The first attempt, I had to follow up repeatedly just to be told no since he works alone and can’t do the custom doors I wanted. The second time was for an accent wall, which I knew he could do because I’ve seen previous jobs. After my email was ignored, I followed the advice in another of his FB posts and text him. My first texts went ignored. I then I got a FB message saying it is easiest to text for contact. (Rolling my eyes). We finally connect through text and I’m just flabbergasted at the conversation that unfolded. I was told my desired design might not work (which is fine) but then thrown a number and asked if I want to proceed. No meeting. No consult. No measurements. I asked for a formal estimate and got more instructions about giving a 1/3 deposit —— I have never even met this person or talked on the phone. Then I get a lengthy text explaining why my previous messages were ignored. Through the typos, I was able to deduce that he gets a lot of estimate requests for work that people aren’t really prepared to pay for so he disregards them. I was shocked! After explaining that I am more than prepared to pay for any job I commission, his response was “better late than never”. I posted pics of our text conversation. I’ll let the company speak for itself — would you hire them? UPDATE: Called me immediately after I posted my review and argued with me about it! Had him on speaker phone, my mom was sitting nearby as a witness shaking her head. When I could get a word in, I tried explaining to him my issue but he was very fired up about my bad review ruining his livelihood. Said he doesn’t think taking a while to get back to someone or saying “better late than never” are rude or unprofessional actions. I told him people will decide for themselves. But I’ve made my decision for sure since the first time I’ve ever spoken to Brian was when I posted a review on Google that he didn’t like. Will not EVER hire!

This company is amazing! I wish that I could provide a 10 star rating! I hired this company to install a new staircase railing for the downstairs and upstairs. I could not be happier with the quality and craftsmanship provided. The attention to detail was far beyond any other repair work I have contracted in a long time. The stair railing is by far superior and stable compared to the original. The time and attention he provided truly made this an attractive center piece to our home. He was wonderful in keeping us informed on adjustments along the way so that we were part of the process. This is truly a remarkable company with a master craftsman. Do not hesitate to call and experience a very rare opportunity to see a master carpenter at work for you.

Brian replaced our existing wood spindles with decorative iron balusters and it has given our home a brand new look! We had been going back and forth on the remodel for a while and finally decided to go with it. We are so happy we did! In addition to offering a wide selection of balusters, Brian did an excellent job- he showed up on time, completed in under 2 days and the quality of his product is excellent. We highly recommend The Finishing Company!

Brian installed crown molding throughout our house and corrected some poorly-done crown molding that had been done previously. He did an absolutely fantastic job and the craftmanship is very apparent in the final product. He was responsive to text message, showed up on time, and did the job in the time estimated. Absolutely will be using him for my future projects.

my entire front of my house has changed in less than a day. It went from a standard staircase to a n elegant, up-scale staircase. I was very impressed with the timeliness of the work. Exactly what I wanted. Brian cleaned up everything. The price is reasonable considering the work and quality of the product. I would absolutely hire Brian again for future projects.

Brian installed a newel, railings and posts in our new home in Crozet, VA which transformed the entry way from dowdy to gorgeous. He is a real craftsman and a delight to work with. Brian travels with his shop in a trailer and completes the job seamlessly. And, he is a delight to work with. We highly recommend him. Colleen and Joe

Brian replaced over 100 builder grade balusters with these. He was very professional from the beginning to the end. He answered all questions promptly and wasn’t put off that I was asking them. Brian traveled daily from Richmond to Manassas (quite a trek) and each day he left the job site as clean or cleaner than he found it. His work speaks for itself. I highly recommend The Finishing Company.

He was very responsive and receptive to my many questions. The workmanship is superb - it’s very obvious that he takes great pride in his work and cares about the happiness of his customers. I highly recommend anyone thinking about getting carpentry work done in their home to use Brian at The Finishing Company!! A++

Brian was an absolute professional to work with and his work is outstanding. We had all the white wood balusters in our home replaced. From the simple quote process (text pictures) to project completion I highly recommend Brian. I think he’s the most conscientious craftsman I’ve ever had in my home. Each day he left the house spotless before he went home. I recommend you follow his work on Facebook or Instagram and hire him to do your projects!

I searched for about 4 months trying to find a company that I thought would be reasonable in cost and one that would answer all of my questions (and I always have a lot!). Brian was awesome before he even started the work. I had so many questions and he was very responsive and then the end result!!!!! I am so happy with the work and the time he took to cut and install each piece was impressive. I suffer from anxiety when the house isn't clean. I actually can't wait until contractors leave so I can get it back to "my normal", but Brian cleaned up better than any contractor that I have ever dealt with. I was able to focus on the craftsmanship and beauty of my project after he left instead of focusing on cleaning (I know that sounds crazy, but it's true). I am so satisfied and I still look at it everyday as if it were the first day. I would recommend this company before any other in the DC Metro area. Thanks for an amazing experience.

Brian did an excellent job replacing my wooden balusters with wrought iron on my stairs. He even reinforced a stair post that had been wobbly for the last couple years. He left the area probably cleaner than it was when he arrived and a few times he cleaned as he went. Brian was very professional and polite. I live in Woodbridge so I was quite pleased to have such a great quality trim carpenter willing to travel. You really need to check out his Facebook page and website to see all the projects you could have him do in your home.

Terrific work! I've used the Finishing Company twice now for crown molding and chair rail in an older (1924) home. Brian is very professional - on time, knows what he's doing, very clean work, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend!

Great craftsmanship! We didn't want to take on the cost of refinishing our floors but wanted to upgrade the look of the space. Brian did not disappoint. We're so happy with the choice to upgrade from the building-grade baulsters. Job well done! (*Minus a star because there were a few scuffs left on the floor due to the heavy equipment.)

Brian and his brother came in and did chair rail and shadow boxing in her foyer and stairs. They were fast, efficient and didn't cut any corners (no pun intended). I'm very pleased with the outcome, so much so that he's coming back to do crown molding in our whole downstairs. If you need a carpenter locally (we are in Midlothian) look no further than The Finishing Company. You can't go wrong.
