What this service covers
Older Westchester homes are rarely square, and stock trim doesn't care. Good carpentry is scribing to the wall you have, mitering tight and making the new work look like it was always there.
We do interior trim and crown molding, doors and casings, wainscoting, closets and built-ins, plus exterior carpentry: decks, railings, pergolas, siding repair and rotted trim replacement.
- Crown molding, baseboard, casing and chair rail
- Wainscoting, panel walls and coffered ceilings
- Interior and exterior doors, hung and cased
- Closets, shelving and built-ins
- Decks, railings, stairs and pergolas
- Rotted trim, fascia and siding repair
Why it's worth doing
It's what makes a house look finished
Trim is the detail people read as quality without knowing why. Sharp miters and clean returns change how a whole room feels.
Repair beats replacement on old wood
Rotted trim and fascia caught early can usually be spliced and repaired rather than torn off wholesale.
Built for the space you actually have
Cut on site to your walls and floors, not ordered to a nominal size that leaves gaps to caulk.
Outdoor space that's safe underfoot
A rebuilt deck with proper framing, flashing and railing heights is a safety upgrade as much as a cosmetic one.
When it's time to get this done
If you're recognising any of these, the job usually gets cheaper the sooner it's handled:
- Trim has gaps, splits or previous caulk repairs that keep opening
- Deck boards are soft, railings move or stairs feel springy
- Exterior trim or fascia shows rot, especially under gutters
- Doors stick, don't latch or the casing is damaged
- You want built-in storage instead of more furniture

Common questions
Can you match existing molding?
In most cases yes — we match the profile from stock or have it milled if the house has something unusual.
Do you build decks from scratch?
Yes, including framing, decking, railings and stairs, in pressure-treated, cedar or composite.
Do you paint the trim too?
Yes. Since we paint as well, trim gets installed, filled, caulked and finished by the same crew.
