Grand Finish Remodeling

Sixty reviews stretching back to 2022, and the jobs behind them are not small: whole-house gut renovations, third-floor build-outs, basements taken down to bare block and rebuilt as living space. Grand Finish Remodeling works out of Sudbury across MetroWest, and its owner, Fabio Araujo, is named personally in review after review — a 2024 customer credited him with a fair price and reliability, and a 2022 homeowner described him arriving to quote a full kitchen build himself, then charging the quoted figure to the penny. The through-line in what customers write is coordination. A Lexington homeowner who came by neighbor referral wrote in May 2026 about a dated kitchen and bathroom brought up to date on schedule, with suggestions that fit the budget. In April 2025, the president of a 72-home community association in Sterling recounted hiring the company to rebuild a failing meeting house: the proposal arrived with references and insurance paperwork before other bidders had responded, and the finished remodel was done to code while matching the character of the old building. A 2024 whole-home client listed the trades the crew pulled together — carpenters, plumbers, electricians, masons, roofers — and said problems that surfaced in an older house got answered quickly. Smaller, sharper jobs show up too. A 2023 review counted nearly 1,000 square feet of hardwood laid in a single day with the debris cleared out. A 2025 customer had subfloors replaced, hardwood installed, stairs repaired and carpet laid, with the crew moving the heavy furniture. Front-hall stairs (2024), a rebuilt staircase credited to a carpenter named Jonathan (2022), a deck (2024), siding repaired at the crew's own discretion with a stain they matched by eye (2022). Two things worth pinning down before signing. This is a general contractor that assembles subcontractors per project rather than a single-trade shop, so ask who is doing which trade and who supervises them. And these are long jobs: one 2022 whole-home renovation ran four months from demolition to move-back, with punch-list details closing out inside six — a 2023 bathroom client noted a few small issues arose mid-project and were resolved quickly, which is worth a conversation about how change orders and snags get priced. The written history is uniformly positive across five years, with no dissenting account in it. That is a real strength and also a reason to do your own diligence: ask for the references and current insurance certificate the Sterling association got, and get scope and schedule in writing. For multi-room or whole-house work in MetroWest where sequencing matters more than the lowest bid, they are a serious call.
