Finishing carpentry is what you see every day
Trim is the detail your eye lands on: where the wall meets the floor, how a door is framed, the line where the ceiling begins. Done well, it makes a room look finished and considered. Done quickly, the gaps, open mitres and caulk-filled corners show for as long as you own the home. Our finishing carpentry in Victoria is about the first kind.
Trim and baseboard installation in Victoria
For trim and baseboard installation in Victoria, we cope inside corners rather than relying on caulk, so the joints stay closed through the seasons. Outside corners are mitred and glued. Baseboards are scribed to uneven floors, so they sit tight along the full length instead of following the floor's high spots. Door and window casings are set with even reveals and square, tight joints.
We install everything from simple, modern square-edge profiles to tall, layered baseboards and traditional casings with back bands that suit an older Victoria home.
Crown moulding and fine woodwork
Crown moulding is where carpentry skill shows most, because ceilings and walls are rarely straight. We work with the room, not against it, so the crown reads as a straight, even line from across the room. We also build fine woodwork to order: wainscoting, panelled feature walls, built-in shelving, window seats, mantels and stair details.
Ready for paint, or finished by us
Good trim work makes painting easier and better. Nail holes are filled, joints are sanded flush and the trim is left ready for finish. If you'd like, we'll paint it as well, so you have one crew responsible for how it looks at the end.
Part of a bigger project, or on its own
Many clients call us just for trim: new baseboards after a flooring installation, replacing dated casings, or adding crown to a living room. Others need finishing carpentry as part of a full interior renovation or new build. Either way, we work throughout Greater Victoria, Langford and the Westshore, with evening and weekend times available.
