Crown and base
Crown molding finishes the top of the wall, and baseboards finish the bottom. Taller, simpler profiles suit modern homes, and layered profiles suit traditional ones.
Casings and doors
Door and window casings frame openings. Match their style and thickness through the house for a calm, consistent look.
Wainscoting and paneling
Picture-frame wainscoting suits dining rooms and halls. Board-and-batten is popular in mudrooms and bedrooms. Shiplap gives a relaxed, farmhouse feel.
Match the house
Trim should respect the age and style of the home. We show profiles and heights in your rooms before we build.
