- The three specs that matter
Trim: Profile, Joints and Fastening
Trim is judged at the corners. These three decide whether they stay tight.
Profile: Height and Style
Taller baseboards, 5 1/4 inches and up, suit rooms with 9-foot ceilings; 3 1/4 inches is the builder standard. Crown from 3 1/2 to 5 1/4 inches depending on ceiling height. We bring samples to the measurement.
- Primed finger-jointed pine, poplar or MDF for paint; oak or maple for stain.
Joints: Coped, Not Mitered
Inside corners are coped so they stay closed when the house moves through the seasons. Outside corners are mitered and glued. Long runs are scarfed over a stud.
- A mitered inside corner is the gap you see in most builder trim by year two.
Fastening: Into Studs, Filled and Caulked
Finish nails into studs and plates, not just drywall, then every hole filled and every seam caulked so paint reads as one surface.
- Shoe molding covers the floor gap and is nailed to the base, never the floor.
- How it works

- Straight talk
Why Does Builder Trim Open Up at the Corners?
Because it was mitered and nailed into drywall. Wood moves with humidity, a 45-degree miter opens as it does, and a nail with nothing behind it lets the whole piece drift. Coped joints and stud nailing fix both, and cost nothing extra when the carpenter knows how.
- Coped inside corners
What Trim Replacement Actually Involves
Old baseboards and crown are scored at the caulk line and pried off without tearing the drywall. Studs are marked and the walls patched where old nails pulled. New trim is measured wall by wall, coped at inside corners, mitered and glued at outside corners, scribed where the floor or ceiling dips, and nailed into studs. Holes are filled and sanded, seams caulked, and the trim is left ready for paint or painted as its own line.
- Baseboards, shoe molding, quarter round and crown in matching profiles
- Inside corners coped, outside corners mitered and glued
- Scribed to floors and ceilings that are out of level
- Old trim hauled away, walls patched, ready for paint
Your price at measurementFixed · all-in
Where we talk you out of it: crown molding in rooms with ceilings under 8 feet, which makes the room feel lower. There we suggest taller baseboards instead.

Where New Trim Makes the Biggest Difference
Trim is the cheapest upgrade that changes how a whole room reads.
- Where we won't recommend it
Crown under low ceilings, trim over bad walls
Two places new trim draws attention to the wrong thing.
- Crown molding in rooms under 8 feet
- Trim over walls that need skim coating first
- Shoe molding nailed to a floating floor
- Where it works best
