Trim that finishes the room
Looking for clean, tight-fitting baseboards, door casing, window trim, or chair rail? I install and repair trim throughout Santa Rosa and Bennett Valley — work that reads as one continuous, intentional line, not a patchwork of gaps and open miters.
Good trim work is mostly preparation. Before a single board goes up, I check floors for level, walls for plumb, and corners for square. Santa Rosa’s older bungalows and historic-district homes especially — where floors have settled and walls have shifted over decades — need trim scribed to the floor, not forced into a gap that shows every shadow. Door casing gets the same care: consistent reveal around the jamb, tight miters at the head, solid nailing so nothing loosens over time.
Matching old to new. Many Santa Rosa remodels mix original trim profiles with newer drywall additions. I’ll match your existing profile for continuity, or install a clean modern casing if you’re updating the look. Chair rail and picture rail get leveled to the room — not to the quirks of an old plaster wall.
Materials: MDF, pine, poplar, or primed finger-joint stock, with profile recommendations based on your ceiling height and house style — simple colonial casing or a taller baseboard for taller ceilings.
Clean installs, paint-ready finishes.

How much does it cost?
Cost depends on room count, trim profile, and whether floors and walls need scribing to fit. Send a few photos or a room list and I’ll reply with an upfront estimate before any work starts.
Do I need to buy materials myself?
No. I can source MDF, pine, poplar, or primed finger-joint stock and help you pick a profile that fits your home, or install materials you’ve already purchased.
Will it be ready to paint after install?
Yes, by default. Surfaces are left caulked and paint-ready. If you’d rather not deal with painting, I can also handle touch-up and finish work.
Can you match trim in an older home?
Yes. Many older Santa Rosa homes mix original trim profiles with newer additions. I’ll match your existing profile for continuity, or install a clean modern casing if you’re updating the look.
