Our Story, Our Passion

In the early winter of 1988, nestled within the heart of Rockville, Maryland, First Class Painting and Carpentry was born. Driven by a team of seasoned carpenters and painters, our small family business emerged with a mission: to deliver exceptional craftsmanship and superior workmanship to every project we undertake.

The landscape of the late ’80s was challenging. The shadow of an impending recession loomed large, and many homeowners chose to invest in their existing homes rather than venturing into uncertain real estate markets. This sparked a surge in demand for quality home improvement services. Amidst this landscape, First Class Painting and Carpentry stood tall as a beacon of honesty and reliability. 

We serve communities across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., helping homeowners transform their living spaces into their dream homes.

For over 35 years, it has been my family’s honor to uphold principles of integrity, transparency, and dedication to customer satisfaction while serving our valued clients in the tri-state area. We see every project as an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to these values, and we continue to strive for excellence in all that we do.

We’re not just in the business of home improvement; we’re in the business of building relationships. When you choose First Class Painting and Carpentry, you’re not just a client—you’re part of our family. We welcome your ideas, your vision, and your input at every stage of the project.

After our initial discussion about your project, I pledge to deliver a meticulously crafted proposal within one week, either via email or traditional mail. Your feedback is crucial to us. We welcome any revisions you may have, and we’re always open to further discussion to ensure we fully understand your vision.

We also understand the importance of trust when inviting a contractor into your home. That’s why we’re more than happy to provide you with local references from our previous clients. You can contact them or even visit to see the quality of our work firsthand.
