When it comes to finish carpentry, trim isn’t just a finishing touch — it’s a defining design element that can dramatically enhance your space. Whether you’re building new or remodeling, selecting the right trim style involves more than just picking what looks nice. It’s about matching your home’s architecture, your personal taste, and your budget
Start by considering the overall design of your home. Clean, modern homes tend to pair well with sleek, flat-stock trim or simple square-edge baseboards. If your home leans more traditional or craftsman, you may want to go with detailed crown molding, window casings with reveals, or stacked baseboards that create a bold profile.
MDF (medium-density fiberboard) is a cost-effective choice and paints easily, making it ideal for modern interiors. For a more upscale or rustic look, wood trim such as oak, poplar, or pine offers natural texture and stainable beauty — but usually at a higher cost.
In rooms with high ceilings, larger crown molding or taller baseboards (5” and up) add elegance and visual balance. In smaller rooms, thinner trim helps avoid overwhelming the space.
Try to keep the style consistent throughout the home to create a unified look. Mixing too many profiles or sizes can feel disjointed unless you have a deliberate design contrast in mind.
I source all of my trim from a trusted local vendor who provides significantly better quality at a lower cost than big box stores. The trim is more durable, cleaner-cut, and available in a wide range of styles. I also carry full sample sets and can bring them by to help you choose the perfect look for your project
Owner- NRC Finish Carpentry
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, we keep things simple, clear, and professional. We begin by understanding your vision — whether you’re upgrading a single room or renovating an entire property. During our initial visit, we take precise measurements, walk you through material samples, and offer honest feedback on design, layout, and timing.
We believe the difference is in the details. That means clean cuts, tight corners, smooth transitions, and a mess-free jobsite. We never rush, overpromise, or disappear mid-project. You’ll receive clear communication, fair pricing, and consistent updates every step of the way.
All work is scheduled with respect for your time and home. We use drop cloths, dust control, and quality fasteners and adhesives to ensure everything looks and performs like it should. When we’re finished, you’ll have clean lines, beautiful finishes, and a result that blends seamlessly with the character of your space.
