Trim & finish carpentry

Trim work where the corners are square.

Crown molding, baseboard, door and window casing, built-in shelves, mantel surrounds. I cope my inside corners — the right way — so they don't open up when your house breathes.

📐Typical labor: $4 – $10 per linear foot installed, painted

What's included, and what isn't.

Every estimate I write makes this list explicit. No mid-job surprises.

Questions I get about trim & finish carpentry.

Can you match existing trim?

If your existing profile is still sold (most Federal/Colonial/Craftsman profiles are), yes. If it's discontinued, I'll bring three close matches and we'll pick the closest.

Do I need to remove the old baseboard myself?

No, demo is included. I'm careful with the drywall behind it — usually no patching needed.

Stained or painted?

Most of my work is painted because that's what most homeowners want. If you want stained, send me the wood species and we'll talk.

Tell me what you need. I'll text you back today.

Most homeowners hear back within two hours. I keep my phone on me on the job — leave a voicemail and I'll call after dinner.
