Baseboard and Door Casing

Tall baseboards and wide casings that frame every doorway, hide the seams and make a house feel solid.

Baseboard and casing do a lot of quiet work. They cover the gap between wall and floor, frame openings and set the style of a house, whether it is crisp and modern, craftsman or traditional. Thin builder-grade trim can make a good house feel plain, and generous trim lifts the whole room.

We measure the rooms, choose heights and profiles that suit the house and install with tight joints, scarfed seams on long runs and nails into studs. Floors are rarely flat, so we scribe the bottoms where needed and keep reveals even around doors.

Heights and profiles

Taller baseboards suit tall ceilings, and wide casings suit big doors. We bring samples, sketch the options and match what is already in the house.

Style: craftsman, colonial, modern

Craftsman uses flat boards with a cap, colonial uses curved profiles and modern uses a simple flat or shadow-gap detail. We build each correctly.

Corners and joints

Mitered outside corners, coped inside corners and scarfed long joints stay tight. Good caulking and fill make the finish seamless.

Floors and transitions

Baseboards meet flooring, and the order of work matters. We plan around new floors, shoe molding and thresholds so everything fits tightly.

Questions

Baseboard and Casing FAQ

What baseboard height should I choose?

Many homes look good with a taller base than builders use. We hold samples against the wall so you can judge.

Can you match old trim?

Often. We bring samples of existing profiles and mill custom pieces if the profile is no longer made.

Do you install trim over carpet or new flooring?

We coordinate with the flooring schedule so trim and floors meet correctly.

Do you paint trim?

We prepare it for paint and can coordinate a painter.

Should baseboards be installed before or after the floor?

Usually after hardwood or tile and before carpet. We coordinate with your flooring crew.
