Trim Installation
Trim is the detail that separates an average room from a refined one. Our carpenters install baseboards, crown molding, door casings, chair rail, and wainscoting with tight mitered joints, proper nail placement, and seamless caulk lines — ready for paint and built to last.
Scope of Work
Every project is different. Here's what falls within our scope for Trim Installation — and we're always happy to discuss custom scope items specific to your project.
- Baseboard installation and replacement
- Crown molding — single and built-up profiles
- Door and window casing

- Wainscoting panels and bead board
- Window stool and apron
- Caulking and nail hole filling — paint-ready finish
Our Process
Profile Selection & Measurement
We assess your room style and recommend appropriate trim profiles. All walls and openings are precisely measured to minimize waste and ensure clean joint planning at corners and transitions.
Material Preparation
Trim is cut to length with compound miter angles for accurate inside and outside corners. Profiles are checked for bows or defects before installation begins.
Layout & Reveal Lines
For door casings, we snap consistent reveal lines on all jamb faces to ensure uniform spacing. Crown molding is planned around ceiling irregularities before the first piece goes up.
Installation & Fastening
Trim is secured with finish nails at stud locations and over solid blocking where needed. All outside corners are mitered; inside corners are coped for a gap-free fit even as wood expands and contracts.
Caulking & Patching
Every joint, nail hole, and wall-to-trim gap is filled and caulked with paintable caulk to create a monolithic, finished look ready for the painter.
Inspection & Touchup
We examine every linear foot of installed trim under raking light to catch any gaps or surface defects, then walk the room with you for final approval.
