Who We Are – Experienced Remodeling Expertise With Audit-Precision Budgeting & Project Management
Outstanding craftsmanship, Responsible Management
Who We Are
We are Chris and Faye, a husband and wife team with one apprentice. Chris is the Master Home Remodeling Craftsman (30+ years) and Faye is the finance/PM expert (15+ years). We’re neighbors, artisans, and trade professionals. We take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We believe a remodel goes better with a sense of humor and a lot of communication.
If you’re looking for a team that pays their suppliers, shows up on time, and treats your home with the respect it deserves, we’d love to meet you.
Trustworthy & vetted
Trusting Us With Your Personal Space
Let’s be honest: inviting a crew into your home for a remodel is a big deal. You’re trusting someone with your largest asset, your money, and—most importantly—your family’s personal space.
At Straub Fine Finishes, we take that trust seriously. We believe that a renovation should be exciting, not exhausting. We are friendly, we work hard, and we believe a job isn’t done until the site is cleaner than when we arrived, and we provide background checks for everyone on our team..
Our “One Project” Promise
We operate differently than the big guys. We don’t juggle five job sites or overbook our calendar just to keep crews busy. Chris is on-site working and leading every job.
When we start your remodeling project, you have our undivided attention until it’s finished.
We Respect Your Time: Because we aren’t running between jobs, your project moves efficiently from start to finish.
We Are Consistent: You get a dedicated 1-3 person onsite crew. You won’t have a parade of strangers walking through your kitchen. You get us.
We Are Considerate: We know we are guests in your home. We keep the music down, the site tidy, and the communication open.
We combine the precision of financial planning and project management with the artistry of a master craftsman. It’s a unique mix that allows us to deliver beautiful results with zero stress.
Financial Peace of Mind (The “Project Management” Side of Us)
Before ever swinging a hammer, Faye spent years in project management. Old habits die hard—we actually like tight fiscal and project management planning. Fixed-Cost Pricing: We don’t play games with estimates. You get a solid price. Complete Transparency: We manage material costs and budget tracking with audit-grade precision, and show you all your costs per line item. You’ll never have to worry about where your money went.
Verified Design (See It Before We Build It)
We use Chief Architect 3D modeling to bring your ideas to life. We’ll sit down with you, have a coffee, and walk through your new space virtually. It’s the fun part! We tweak the design until you love it—meaning you know exactly what you’re getting before we ever order materials.
Fine Finishes (Our Sweet Spot)
We specialize in high-end cosmetic transformations. We don’t focus on moving load-bearing walls or tearing off roofs. instead, we focus on the details that make a home feel luxurious: custom cabinetry, precision millwork, flooring, and tile. We are the team you call when you want to elevate your existing space with a flawless finish (the Straub Fine Finish).
Chris remodeled my basement bedroom and bathroom including restoration of drywall, restaining and re-installing baseboards and trim, new wood flooring, tile backsplash surround for the vanity, and painting.
The quality of work and his design and money-saving guidance really exceeded my expectations; Chris’ service and professionalism were on point, and made me feel comfortable handling the project. I was so impressed with Chris that I ended up marrying him!
Highly Recommended. Hard working and skilled craftsman

Stunningly beautiful tile installation! Will definitely be calling him again!

Chris worked with my husband building our home in Glacier View Meadows for several months. He worked on many aspects of the build to include tile, flooring, trim, cabinets, closets, decks and many other projects. Chris did an excellent job, and we would recommend him for your construction needs.

Chris did great work on the odd jobs we had time complete. Fair pricing and easy to work with
Wayne Hoover, Glacier View Meadows, Livermore COGoogle Review
I had them come replace a leaky sink valve and help me locate the main shut-off valve. Chris made sure to replace the valve with a newer design that would be less prone to failure. He was very thorough and answered all my questions. I would definitely hire him again!
Chris was very professional and communicated really well thoughout the roofing repair. Chris did exactly what he said he was going to do and finished the project early. Hard worker. Would definitely use again!
