Baseboard, crown and trim work across the DMV
Trim is what makes a room look done. Baseboard gets wrecked by a flooded basement, a new floor that left a gap, a dog, or forty years of vacuum cleaners. Crown is the upgrade people want in the living room and the main bedroom once the paint is fresh. Both are carpentry, and both show every mistake if the corners are not coped and the nail holes are not filled.
Or call or text (240) 616-4788. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
How the job goes
We pull the old base clean, run new base in the profile you pick, cope the inside corners, miter the outside ones, fill, caulk and paint. Crown goes up with a nailing block where the framing is wrong, the corners are coped so they stay tight when the house moves, and the joints are glued. Shoe molding closes the floor gap, and quarter round when you prefer it.
Jobs we take
- Baseboard replaced after water damage or a new floor
- Crown molding in one room or a whole floor
- Shoe molding and quarter round to close floor gaps
- Door and window casing replaced or upgraded
- Chair rail and wainscot caps
- Gaps caulked, corners refit and trim repainted
What it costs
Trim is priced by the room and the profile, with the lumber on the materials line. A basement that lost its baseboard to a flood is one visit per hundred feet or so, plus paint. Crown is slower than base because every cut is compound and every corner is coped, so a room of crown is a day. The estimate shows the footage and the profile.
