Six things that change the feel of a room.
Crown height
About three to five inches for eight-foot ceilings and five to seven for nine and ten feet.
Baseboard height
Five to seven inches looks custom, and thin builder trim looks plain.
Casing width
Wider casing with a header gives a Craftsman look.
Wall treatment
Wainscoting usually reaches a third to a half of the wall.
Style match
Crown, base and casing should feel like a set.
Tight joints
Coped corners and caulked seams make paint look expensive.

How much does carpentry cost?
It depends on the work. Commonly published ranges run roughly $8 to $25 per linear foot for installed crown molding, $4 to $12 for baseboards, several hundred to over a thousand dollars per linear foot for custom built-ins and roughly $25 to $65 per square foot for a deck. Our planners give a first view, and a free estimate gives you a written price.
Can you match my existing trim and woodwork?
In most cases yes. We take profiles from your existing trim, source or mill matching pieces and blend new work into the old so the join disappears.
Painted or stained: which should I choose?
Painted trim and cabinets use stable paint-grade wood or MDF and cost less, and stained work uses clear hardwood with matched grain. We show you samples and explain the difference for your project.
