Straight answers
Carpentry questions from Bloomington-Normal homeowners
Will new trim match what is already in the house?
Usually. Older profiles do get discontinued, and when an exact match is not available we will say so and show you the closest option before anything gets ordered.
Is my ceiling high enough for crown molding?
Almost always. It is the profile that changes, not whether you can have it. Lower ceilings take a smaller crown, and going too big is the mistake people regret.
Can you do one room rather than the whole house?
Yes, and most people start that way. One room done properly tells you whether you want it everywhere.
Do you paint the trim as well?
We can, and it is worth deciding early. Trim that is primed and painted before it goes up gives a cleaner line than brushing around it afterwards.
What about custom built-ins?
Built to fit the room rather than ordered to fit. Shelving, benches, bars and storage, made to the dimensions you actually have.
Do you do exterior woodwork too?
Yes. Cedar posts and beams, covered porches, and exterior trim cut and fitted on site.
