AB Finishes LLC

AB Finishes: History in the making…
AB Finishes was first conceptualized in January of 2022 when a new vendor, Unified Door & Hardware Group sought out Classic Construction & Restoration, Inc. for a niche "finish carpentry" installation need. Classic did not have the time, bandwidth, or necessary overhead budget to manage these niche projects profitably and declined the project. But Classic's COO Brandy Painter saw the potential in this new niche market and reached out to the Vendor's Account Manager to pitch "hiring her and her new company" for their door & trim installation project. AB Finishes was founded February 15th, 2022 and had accepted their first project with UDH by the end of the month.
Since the initial approach by UDH, AB Finishes has been asked to provide over 30 bids and been recommended by our founding vendor partner to a number of his counterparts at both UDH and its various sister companies. We have completed four projects, are under way on three projects, and are contracted for an additional three projects slated to start later in the year.
What we do: AB Finishes is a full-service General Contractor. We have the capability and resources necessary to handle any trade we are asked to provide a bid on but consider ourselves "finish carpentry" specialists. We have primarily been asked to bid "trim carpentry" but were recently asked to provide a quote to be the "Punch Contractor" who finishes the various trades' incomplete punch list items. We've worked in Commercial Office spaces, Multi-family residential (5 floors or less) spaces, Townhomes, & multi-family residential high rises.
AB Finishes is receiving good reviews from Site Management due to our hands-on approach to project management. Our approach is to always make the customers feel that we are there for them in all stages of the project by providing a caring Project Manager who will be with the project from start to completion. This personal touch is what we are marketing for and what we believe has made our current and previous projects successful.
AB Finishes is currently working to perfect our "management style" by having a female contracted consultant on site who is providing support, guiding the installation efforts, and liaising with the project superintendents and foremen at their current project locations. AB Finishes is very excited to be making this move into what is a primarily male driven landscape.
Things to look forward to in 2025: Brandy Painter and her consulting team are working diligently towards building a future in the finish carpentry niche market as a Woman Owned & Managed Business by:

• Continuing to provide "Hands On" services.
• Continuing to provide detailed project timelines that are updated continuously with project photos throughout the project documenting Before, During, and After conditions.
• Continuing to hire & partner with quality crews that have a similar work ethic and eye for detail.
