What Our Clients are Saying...

These notes are really nice to receive. The majority of these are in reference to our crew, which is one of the most important aspects of our company. They are great reminders of how gracious our clients are. We, as a company, feel fortunate to be able to provide the special touches that help to make the homeowner feel comfortable and proud of their home, weather it be new or a remodel. Phone numbers given upon request. We look forward to meeting with you and help "Bring Your Dream Home" !

I would just like to say a special thanks to you and all of your crew for helping to make Julie & Al's project a success. The quality of your craftsmanship is greatly appreciated. You really outdid yourself on those trusses and the maple newel (even if it did get stained black!). Julie and Al are so pleased with the quality of your workmanship and the whole house in general–that's what makes it all worthwhile! Thanks for being part of the team.

May we have many more good projects in the future!

We have both been Realtors for two decades, and have seen the best of the best in finish work. We have just built our own dream home, and after researching some of Portland's finest Finish companies, we are delighted to have chosen Michael's Finish and Trim.

From interview to final bill, MF&T and crew have been terrific to work with. We always had the sense that our home was top priority, although we know you had several larger, grander jobs underway simultaneously. As much as the workload fluctuates, and as construction schedules bog down, MF&T stayed right on track with our job. There were no surprises, financial or otherwise. Michael is as creative as his client wants him to be, without dictating style, as many fine craftsmen tend to do. He knows design, and his ideas and input enormously enhanced the character of our home. The quality and detail exceeded our expectations.

Michael's Finish and Trim is exactly that. Efficient and incredibly professional, yet maintains a very personal feel, not just to the clients, but also with their employees. Their jobsite is a warm, enthusiastic, and cooperative environment. The dedication and pride of workmanship, of individual work, and of the job in total is evident, from their newest to their most experienced employee.

The staircase is spectacular. Thank you for your vision on this project. I am amazed at how professional your crew is on the job. They worked efficiently and effectively. I couldn't be happier and will have no problems recommending you. In fact, I think my new staircase will sell you and your workmanship, without my help.

Thank you for doing such a fine job—the new base molding adds so much to the look of our home!

Sincerely,
   Susan S. and Mike K., Homeowners


Ed and I just wanted to thank you again for your craftsmanship and hard work. We do not have the words to express how totally overwhelmed we are by the beauty and detail of the newel post, and the grace and charm of the handrail!!!

In our opinion, the staircase and balcony makes our entry stunning and really stamps the house as a quality place to be, right from the beginning. I wish you could have seen the pride and pleasure we took in unveiling that newel many times on Sunday: we simply had to show it off to the tile guys, the painter, Russ (the builder), and Russ's son and his friend. They were suitably awed, and the painter even compared the workmanship to his wife's grandfather (which I took to be a compliment of the highest order coming from him!).

I wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for the time you took last week to walk me through the Street of Dreams. It was a true pleasure to benefit from the knowledge of a finish tradesman, and learn from your years of experience. I was truly impressed by your attention to detail, and believe Teresa (my associate) is correct in her estimation of your abilities as being among the finest in the industry. I look forward to the chance to work with you, and wish you and your family the best in the future.

Thank you once again for the time, I hope someday to have the chance to return the courtesy you have shown me.

Best regards,
   Randall K., Homeowner


We have had so many compliments from neighbors to total strangers on a "magnificent," "fantastic," and "first class job"—we agree. Couldn't imagine entrusting this beast of a door to anyone else. It sure is a noticeable hit. Wow!

Saying we're pleased would seem lame. But we are pleased extremely so. Now the old relic has a new home and looks glorious—thanks to you.

   Bryan G. and Michael G., Homeowners


I have just returned from one of my frequent visits to our "new home" on Thornton Drive and wanted to write a note expressing my satisfaction with the work so far completed by your team of employees. In particular I would like to praise the leader/supervisor Lori (I don't know her surname) who was a very helpful. She was always very friendly and seemed to really enjoy her work, but more importantly, her willingness to answer my questions in a clear, detailed, and informative way gave me the opportunity to make some changes that I am sure will add to my overall satisfaction with the finished project. She always communicated in an intelligent and professional manner that stands out in my experience and I wanted to draw your attention to it. I feel she deserves credit for her high quality of work. I hope that you will pass my appreciation on her and the other members of the team. After meeting you personally this experience is not a surprise, as it certainly conforms to everything I have heard about your company regarding the consistent high standard of treatment and quality you give to your contractors and their clients. Since I believe in giving recognition to work well done, I thought it appropriate to express my appreciation and satisfaction. Thank you!

Sincerely,
   Meredith S., Homeowner


We are very appreciative of your skills and dedication. We truly feel you are part of our team that builds a home with care and precision recognized by both buyers and sales professionals. As part of our appreciation, we have selected six subcontractor employees who, throughout the year, have consistently performed outstanding work as it relates to quality, service, and job ownership. Bill C. (your employee) is one of the employees we recognized. He has received a personal "thank you" and gift from our company. In addition, we want you to know how much Bill is appreciated on our jobs. Thank you again for all that you do for us.

Sincerely,
   Dick Hartung and Tim Leslie, LHL Homes, Inc. (Builder)

Michael's Finish and Trim transformed the entry of our home. They turned what was a nondescript, cold-feeling space into an inviting, elegant entry. Michael's team is reliable, meticulous, professional and a pleasure to work with. They are true craftsmen. Their workmanship is worth every dollar we spent. This was the the best investment we made in our remodel and we'd recommend them without hesitation!
