From CIP Finishes
Stafford-based construction firm CIP Finishes will break ground on a new headquarters on Centreport Parkway on March 28, 2019. The public is invited to attend a 4 p.m. groundbreaking ceremony that will celebrate the business’s growth over more than three decades in business.
The new 20,000-square-foot headquarters will be located on 3.5 acres at 25 Centreport Parkway, near Stafford Regional Airport. CIP Finishes will occupy over half of the $2.5 million facility, and is seeking tenants for the additional space.
Since its founding more than 30 years ago by owner and President Paul Milde, CIP Finishes has grown from a custom-closet installer to a Class A contractor that furnishes and installs interior finishing hardware in large multi-family residential communities throughout the Greater Washington, D.C., region and the mid-Atlantic.
CIP Finishes saw its strongest year to date in 2018, completing more than 7,000 units in 35 projects, and grossing close to $7 million.
“The reputation we’ve developed with some of the region’s largest and most respected general contractors has been key to our growth,” Milde says. “We’ve honed our processes to be able to provide turn-key service that ensures that these critical details of large projects happen on-time, on-budget and to an exacting standard of quality.”
CIP Finishes has played a role in the apartment boom that has driven the revival of D.C. neighborhoods including Adams Morgan, the H Street corridor and U Street neighborhood. The firm also installed interior hardware at the District’s first Moxy hotel by Marriott, a boutique hotel concept targeting millennials that opened in summer 2018.
The products CIP Finishes installs range from shower doors and bathroom enclosures, to wire shelving, to mailboxes, interior door locks and hardware, bike racks, fitness room mirrors and more. The firm is one of the largest east-coast distributors of Moen bath accessories.
Notable Fredericksburg-area communities CIP Finishes has worked on include Cobblestone Square in downtown Fredericksburg, the Eagle Village apartments at the University of Mary Washington and the Courthouse Village community in Spotsylvania County. More recent projects include the Seasons at Celebrate Virginia, Orchard Ridge at Jackson Village, Abberly at Southpoint and Fredericksburg’s Valor and Valor West apartment communities. CIP Finishes is expected to begin installing finishing hardware at the Crossroads Station community near the Spotsylvania Virginia Railroad Express station this spring.
“As the trend toward these livable urban neighborhoods continues, we’re on tap to have another great year in 2019,” Milde says.
