Our story

Built on the ramp, not in an office.

A+J Finish was built on quality, safety, and precision. Alex Sharpe brings four years as a U.S. Navy helicopter mechanic and years specializing in aircraft detailing; Jake McCatty came up detailing luxury yachts before bringing that finish to aviation. Together they hand-wash exteriors, restore brightwork, and detail cabins and cockpits — treating every aircraft, from small pistons to corporate jets, like it's their own.

  • Veteran-led — Navy-trained precision on every job
  • Aviation-safe products and methods — never automotive shortcuts
  • We come to your hangar and work around your flight schedule
