"Awesome" was the word The Building Congress & Exchange of Metropolitan Baltimore,
Inc. used to describe the Curved Drywall Soffits at the UMBC/Student Commons Building,
completed by FINISHES, INC's crew of skilled craftsman, supervised by our field team
leader, Tom Reid, Sr.
The Building was designed by architects from Design Collective, Inc.,
engineered by ReStl Designers, and managed by Barton/Malow Construction Company, Inc. This
project proved to be most impressive, as well as successful.
Under the expertise of our team, the bulkheads
were erected 27 feet in the air, running a length of 100 - 150 feet, turning out crisp and exact,
a true test of the craftsmanship of our crew.
On November 1, 2003, our team was honored at
the 64th Annual Craftsmanship Awards Dinner at the Boumi Temple. Dan McCarty, employed by FINISHES,
INC. for the last fourteen years, was presented the 2002 Craftsmanship Award for his work on the
curved soffits at UMBC/Student Commons. The tight radius of the soffits proved to be difficult to
frame as well as to drywall. The finishing of these soffits was completed by Fred Peach and Matt
Morris of FINISHES, INC. What a result these two finishers achieved…sharp radius beads gave crisp
clean lines to the curved structure. Our hats are off to the crew of fine craftsmen who completed
this project for FINISHES, INC.
