Trim is what your eye reads as quality. You can put nice paint on a room, but if the baseboards are beat up, the casing is cracked, and the joints have quarter-inch gaps filled with caulk, the room still looks rough. Clean, tight finish carpentry is the cheapest upgrade per square foot in remodeling — and it is genuinely skilled work, which is why so much of it gets done badly.

- Custom repairs to match existing trim in older homes
Older homes
A lot of homes in Conway and the older beach neighborhoods have trim profiles you cannot buy off the shelf anymore. We can usually match it — either by building it up from stock profiles or having a piece milled. If you have one damaged section of hundred-year-old casing, you do not have to replace the whole room.
Common questions
Paint-grade or stain-grade — what is the difference?
Paint-grade uses MDF or finger-jointed pine and costs less; the joints get filled and painted and it looks crisp. Stain-grade uses clear solid wood, costs more, and every cut shows. We will tell you which makes sense for what you are doing.
My doors will not close right. Can you fix that without replacing them?
Usually, yes. Most sticking and latching problems are hinge, strike, or settling issues — an adjustment and some careful planing, not a new door. If the door is actually shot, we will say so.
Can you match the trim in my older house?
Almost always. We build up profiles from stock pieces or get short runs milled. Bring us a sample or let us look at it.
