Trim & Finish Carpentry
Precision woodwork — crown molding, casing, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, and custom built-ins — that gives a room the polish production builders skip.
Trim is where a renovation either looks custom or looks fast. Consistent reveals, tight coped inside corners, scarf joints placed where they aren't seen, and profiles scaled to the ceiling height are the difference.
We build to the room: heavier stacked crown in tall spaces, restrained casing in smaller ones, and built-ins designed for what you actually store rather than a generic shelving unit.
Scope of work.
Crown & ceiling detail
Single and stacked crown, coffered and box-beam ceilings, tray detailing.
Casing & baseboard
Door and window casing with consistent reveals and mitered or blocked corners.
Wainscoting & paneling
Board and batten, shaker panel, picture-frame molding, and shiplap.
Custom built-ins
Bookcases, window seats, mudroom lockers, and fireplace surrounds built to the space.
Stair & rail work
Newels, balusters, treads, and handrail installed to code with clean transitions.
Our process.
Design & profile selection
Profiles and proportions selected against ceiling height and existing trim.
Shop & site prep
Material acclimated on site so joints don't open after installation.
Installation
Coped, glued, and fastened joints — not caulk-filled gaps.
Finish
Filled, sanded, caulked, and painted or stained to a furniture-grade finish.
Common questions.
What crown size fits an 8-foot ceiling?
Typically 3.5 to 5 inches. Oversized crown in a standard-height room makes the ceiling feel lower, not grander.
Paint-grade or stain-grade?
Paint-grade covers most modern interiors and costs less. Stain-grade requires hardwood and far tighter joinery, so it's priced accordingly.
Can you match trim in an older home?
Yes — we can source close profiles or have knives ground to reproduce original millwork.
