Types of trim work
- Baseboards — new runs, replacements after flooring changes, or damaged sections.
- Door and window casing — around new doors or replacing worn trim.
- Crown molding — adds detail where walls meet ceilings.
- Shoe molding and quarter round — covering gaps at the floor after flooring installation.
Matching older trim
Older homes in LaGrange and surrounding towns often have trim profiles that are no longer stocked. Photograph a damaged piece next to a sound one, and measure the height and thickness if you can. Sometimes a close match is available; sometimes the best choice is to replace a full room for consistency.
Walls and floors are rarely perfect
Uneven floors and out-of-plumb walls are normal, especially in older houses. Scribing, shimming and caulking are part of getting trim to look right.
Moisture-damaged trim
Swollen baseboard near a tub, dishwasher or exterior door may point to a leak. Mention it so the cause can be considered before new trim goes in.
Common questions
Can damaged baseboard be replaced in just one spot?
Often, if the profile can be matched. Otherwise replacing a full wall run may look more consistent.
Do you caulk and paint the trim?
Caulking and paint can be part of the job. Agree on finishing before work starts.
