Hand-cut crown, baseboard, wainscoting, and millwork — coped, not caulked.
Stacked crown profiles, 8-inch base, paneled wainscoting, shadowbox walls, and coffered ceilings — installed by finish carpenters who cope every inside corner and miter every outside return. The difference between a room that feels added-on and one that feels original.
Architectural trim that transforms a room from builder-grade to bespoke.
- Rooms feel flat — no architectural detail at the ceiling line
- Existing trim is undersized for 10-foot-plus ceilings
- You're refreshing a primary suite, study, or formal dining
- You want a coffered or beamed ceiling in the great room
- Wainscoting or shadowbox walls in the entry or stair hall
- Trim is mitered, gapping, and caulk-cracked at the joints
Every crown & trim project, fully scoped.

From shop drawing to final reveal.
Design consult
We walk the rooms with you, talk profile heights, and (when helpful) mock up a sample corner in painter's tape and foam before any wood is cut.
Shop drawings & material
For coffered ceilings, wainscot, and built-ups, we draw shop elevations to scale and source paint-grade or stain-grade stock to spec.
Install — coped, not caulked
Inside corners are coped. Outside corners are mitered with biscuits or pocket screws. Scarf joints are cut and glued — never gapping over time.
Caulk, fill, paint-ready
Nail holes filled, joints lightly caulked, and surfaces sanded paint-ready — or stained and lacquered in-place by our finish crew.
Written estimates, no surprise change-orders.
Pricing covers material, install, caulk, and fill — ready for paint. Stain-grade species, paint, and stain finishing quoted separately.
