Carpentry & Vintage Molding

Historic and Custom Trim

 

So much of the character in vintage homes comes from the detailed woodwork. The detailed moldings and built-ins of all shapes and sizes exemplify the character of the home. Many of these little details have been removed, or covered over through out years of DIY renovations or the inability to get an exact replacement.

Bringing back these details is what we love to do. We are able to replicate most historic moldings without minimum runs. If it's a small piece that got chewed or scratched by a pet, a new room renovation, or even replacing that big-box store contractor molding, we would be happy to tackle whatever project you need help with. Does the mis-match of molding between the new addition/renovation and the original home bug you every time you see it? We can help make this a seamless transition so your house feels like one single home.

Send us an email or give us a call so we can talk through your project and give your home the character and wow factor it deserves. Stun your family and friends the next time they come over, or just simply put a smile on your face every time you come home.

Capabilities for custom trim & millwork:

  • No minimum quantity
  • Any species of wood, including PVC trim. We can help you choose if you're unsure. Much of this depends on how it's going to be finished (Paint vs. Stain), and even where it is located in the house can make a difference.
