Millwork
Crown, casing, paneling and doors with a finish that holds the edge
Trim is where a finish gets judged: up close, in raking light, at every joint.
We finish millwork in the shop where we can and on install day where we must. Profiles are back-primed, sanded to the profile and sprayed before they go up. On site, the last pass is caulk, fill and touch-up, not a repaint.
Crown, base and casing, primed or raw
Wainscot, paneling and beadboard
Interior doors and jambs
Mantels, stair parts and rails
What we finish
Six kinds of trim, six different problems
Crown and base
Long runs that must read as one piece. Scarf joints are filled and sanded before the last coat.
Casing and jambs
The edge everyone touches. A harder system and a thin, even film.
Wainscot and paneling
Many small panels, each with its own edges. Sprayed flat where the work allows.
Interior doors
Both faces, all four edges. Finished on a rack so no side lies down wet.
Stair parts and rails
Hand contact and a lot of turned detail. Glaze and wipe where the design asks.
Mantels and built-ins
Mixed substrates in one piece. Primer choice matters more than color.
On site
Install day, step by step
What the touch-up crew does after the trim is set.
- Step 1
Step 1: Unwrap and check
Count against the label sheet. Photograph anything marked in transit.
- Step 2
Step 2: Set and dry-fit
Your installer sets the trim; we confirm every mitre closes.
- Step 3
Step 3: Fill and caulk
Nail holes, joints and the gap against the wall.
- Step 4
Step 4: Touch up
A brushed or sprayed coat from the approved batch, feathered into the field.
- Step 5
Step 5: Walk the punch list
We go room by room with you or your site lead and sign off together.
Step times depend on the size of the job and how much trim comes pre-finished.
Questions
About millwork
Do you work in the shop or on site?
Doors, drawer fronts and panels are finished in the shop. Boxes, built-ins and trim that can't come out are finished or touched up on site, inside the neighborhoods on our service-area list.
How long are doors in the shop?
Plan on two to three weeks from delivery to ready. A large count, a deep color or a catalyzed system can take longer. Your proposal names the range for your job.
Who handles hardware?
We remove hardware, bag it by room and send it back with the doors. Your installer refits it.
What if a door arrives damaged?
We photograph it at intake and tell you before we price a repair. Repairs beyond filling and sanding are written as a change in the proposal.
What does the warranty cover?
The finish on work we sprayed. Terms, limits and exclusions are in your written warranty.
Have a trim schedule?
Send the profile list and the finish line. We reply with a proposal and a board.
