Trim Carpentry

Trim Carpentry is the final finishing touch on a project to tie it all together. Trim carpentry covers up imperfections in other work that has taken place. A room really comes to life when it is properly trimmed out. Trim Moldings are readily available in Oak, Pine, and a large inventory of MDF at a much cheaper price. Additional mouldings can be cut in a variety of different wood such as Cherry, Walnut etc, but this process can tend to be expensive, so it is much better to use in stock trim wherever possible.

Build-Outs & Jamb Extension

Sometimes window and door jambs are not at the correct width, rather than replacing your door jamb it is easier and much more cost effective to simply add build-outs in order to prepare your door or window for casing trim.

Jamb & Door Installation

Proper door jambs are critical to a fully functional swinging door. If your jambs are not properly plumb then your door can end up hitting the jamb, rubbing, and may not even close properly which may cause you in the end to start cutting up the door unnecessarily which will look awful in the end. A proper rough opening is necessary to framing a good door jamb properly to the correct size of the door. Once you have your door swinging on your new door jamb it is proper to install door stops and scribe the door to the existing floor.

Door & Window Casing

Door and window casing cover up the gaps and shims within the rough opening and gives the jambs a finished look to the wall. It is important to add a reveal to your casing installations, a good reveal will create an illusion of a single piece of stock wrapping around walls, doors and windows.
