Finish carpentry & trim work
Casing, crown, base, and built-ins—installed for straight reveals and paint-ready joints in occupied homes.
What This Covers
Interior trim packages and detail work planned around existing floors, paint schedules, and how the house is lived in—not a demolition-first mindset.
- Casing, base, and quarter-round—repair or replacement
- Crown where the structure allows
- Built-in shelving, mantels, and millwork that should read as part of the room
- Localized sheetrock prep: floated, sanded, and primed—painted when that finish is in scope
Touch-up and room-level painting are included. Large-scale or whole-exterior painting is not. When the wall needs patches or texture first, we coordinate with drywall repair so trim and paint schedules line up.
Common Problems / When to Call
- Trim won’t meet cleanly. Gaps at joints, casing pulling away, or base that doesn’t sit flat to the floor.
- You’re refreshing a room. New crown or built-ins need to align with existing paint lines and flooring.
- Wall prep has to hold up to photos. Patches that telegraph under raking light—or before a listing.
- The scope needs alignment first. Low-bid “fix anything” lists and rushed joints aren’t a fit—we’ll say so.
What To Expect
- Request. Share the room, trim profile if known, and timeline—it’s a request, not an instant booking.
- Review. We confirm fit and ask follow-ups before we mobilize.
- Confirm. We agree on approach, sequencing, and protection for floors and furniture.
- Complete. Joints and reveals done for paint; work area left tidy.
Why Champion
- Fit and finish. Trim that meets the room—not “close enough” from the doorway.
- Respect for occupied homes. Controlled dust and protection for surfaces you’re living on.
- Clear expectations. If we can’t align on scope before work starts, we’ll decline the job.
- Honest scope. When a different trade or a larger project is the right path, we’ll say so.
