Both questions are equally valid and correct. The questions are spontaneous. Whatever is said will be whatever is the first construction that comes to your mind.

The subtle difference would be the situation in which you are asking.

If the person I was asking was in the laundry room, I would ask "have you finished?"

If he was in any other place, I would ask "did you finish?"

Hi, Vorpar.

What would you say when checking homework at school: Have you done your homework? or Did you do your homework?

I usually use the latter.

Thanks.
