What we do

Custom finish work for homeowners who notice the difference.

Leo Build Co. is a one-craftsman finish shop serving the metro DC area. We don't frame houses. We don't do plumbing. We do the last 10% — the closets, the floors, the built-ins, the mudrooms — the work where craftsmanship is visible every single day.

  • Custom closets & built-ins

    Walk-ins, reach-ins, pantry build-outs, library walls. Designed for the space, built for how you actually live.

  • Specialty floors

    Herringbone, chevron, wide-plank European oak, custom inlays. Installed level, sanded right, finished to last.

  • Mudrooms & entryways

    Bench seating, cubbies, hooks, drawers. The first room your guests see — and the last one they remember.

  • Wall paneling & millwork

    Board & batten, shaker, picture-frame trim, wainscoting. The detail that makes the room feel finished.

"Leo rebuilt every closet in our house. The way he laid out shoe shelves vs hanging space — actually thought about how we live. Three years later it still feels like a luxury upgrade."

Maya R.Walk-in closets · Bethesda

"Herringbone floors. 600 square feet. Took longer than two weeks but I'd wait a month again. The finish is glass-smooth and it's been two winters with zero gaps."

"He showed up when he said. Cleaned up every day. Came in $200 under quote. I'm a contractor and I'll be honest, that almost never happens."

"Our pantry build-out was supposed to take a week and he was done in five days. The shelving is bombproof and beautiful. We've already booked him for the mudroom."

"Built-in office wall, ceiling-to-floor. Leo matched the existing trim perfectly, helped us pick the right oak stain, finished early. The single best contractor I've worked with."
