Fabio Araujo's crew took a house from demolition to move-back-in condition in four months, with the last details wrapped inside six — that job, described in an April 2022 review, is the kind Grand Finish Remodeling gets called for: whole houses, gutted basements, kitchens and bathrooms rebuilt from the studs.
The Sudbury company says it has been family-owned since 2014, starting out as Grand Finish Painting before moving into full repair and remodeling, and its site gives its service area as Acton, Dover, Framingham, Holden, Lexington, Natick, Newton, Sudbury, Waltham, Wayland, Weston and Lincoln. On Google it holds 5 stars from 75 ratings, with written reviews going back to 2022.
Customers describe a contractor who arrives organized and stays reachable. A January 2025 homeowner had subfloors replaced, new hardwood laid, stairs repaired and carpet installed, all on the timeline they asked for, and the crew moved the bulky furniture too. A December 2022 client who had a whole new kitchen built said the crew started exactly when they said they would and charged exactly what the quote said, not one penny more. In March 2023 another wrote that nearly 1,000 square feet of hardwood went down in a day with the debris cleared out.
Twice, people came to Fabio after another contractor left them stranded: a June 2022 client whose previous builder had bailed on a condo rehab said the crew came in almost immediately, and a November 2024 homeowner, ghosted by another contractor, credited him with the communication, the inspections and the team that redid their basement.
One detail worth borrowing: when a 72-home community in Sterling needed its meeting house made safe, its April 2025 review noted that Fabio's proposal came with references and insurance paperwork attached, before anything had arrived from the other companies. Ask for that same package.
Grand Finish is the call for a full room or a whole floor — kitchens, baths, basements, attics, top-to-bottom renovations — rather than a quick repair. Pin the scope and the price down in writing up front, and confirm current licensing and insurance before work starts.
