Repair or Replace Your Millwork & Mouldings

For many homeowners like yourself, your residence in Montgomery County, Maryland, is more than just a place to live – it’s a reflection of your taste and a statement of your success. You’ve invested in creating a beautiful and functional home, and maintaining its curb appeal and architectural integrity is paramount. That’s where our expertise in interior trim repair and replacement, and millwork and moulding services comes in.

Interior Trim Finish Carpentry Services

Interior trim and millwork are essential for adding character and definition to your home’s interior spaces. From baseboards and crown moulding to window and door casings, trim work serves both a decorative and functional purpose. It ties together the look of a room while covering gaps where walls meet floors, ceilings, and other surfaces. Our interior trim services include repair, matching existing styles, and full replacement with new materials.

Types of Interior Trim and Millwork

  1. Baseboards: Baseboards are installed at the junction of walls and floors. They protect walls from damage and hide any gaps where flooring meets the wall. Whether you need simple or more ornate styles, we can repair or replace your baseboards to suit the look of your space.
  2. Crown Moulding: Crown moulding is found where walls meet ceilings, adding a finished look to any room. This trim is often more decorative and can range from simple designs to intricate profiles. If your crown moulding is damaged, we can repair and match it, or upgrade your room with a new style.
  3. Window and Door Casings: Casings frame windows and doors, giving them a polished look while covering gaps. We can repair cracked or chipped casings, or replace them with designs that match or enhance your existing trim.
  4. Chair Rails and Picture Rails: Chair rails protect walls from furniture damage, while picture rails are used to hang artwork without marking walls. Both add visual interest to your space and can be repaired or replaced as needed.
  5. Wainscoting and Paneling: Wainscoting and wall paneling are decorative millwork options that add texture and style to a room. We can repair damaged sections or install new paneling to transform the look of your space.

Paint-Grade vs. Stain-Grade Trim

When replacing or installing new trim, homeowners often choose between paint-grade and stain-grade materials:

  • Paint-Grade Trim: Paint-grade trim is typically made from MDF (medium-density fiberboard), pine, or poplar, which can be easily painted to match your interior color scheme. This option is more versatile and cost-effective if you prefer a smooth, painted finish.
  • Stain-Grade Trim: Stain-grade trim is made from higher-quality woods like oak, maple, or cherry, which have a natural grain that looks best when stained. Stain-grade trim is ideal if you want a warm, natural wood finish that highlights the wood’s texture and richness.

Both options have their benefits depending on the style and budget for your home improvement project. We’ll work with you to select the best material that aligns with your design goals.
