Surface truth
Old drips and glossy layers are corrected before enamel.
Trim, millwork & doors
Trim, millwork, and doors that make the room feel finished.
Trim is where rushed painting becomes visible. We focus on edges, profiles, old drips, caulk lines, sheen, and the relationship between wall color and painted architecture.

Service lens
Inside trim, millwork & doors
Trim, millwork & doors starts with the surface story: baseboards, casing, crown, doors, built-ins, stair details, window trim, sanding, caulking, priming, and finish coats. The scope should reflect the details that make the finish succeed rather than a generic promise to repaint.
In Westchester and Fairfield homes, this usually means balancing architecture, light, access, protection, schedule, and the level of preparation the room or exterior actually needs.
What we inspect
Edges, sheen, old glossy buildup, and doors
The best trim, millwork & doors plan is decided before the finish coat. We look for the factors that would make a quick coat fail or feel ordinary.
Protection plan
Hardware, hinges, and profiles need protection or removal decisions.
Finish decision
Sheen is selected for touch, light, and architecture.
Pricing context
Trim, millwork & doors price variables
For trim, millwork & doors, trim pricing changes with profile depth, number of doors, repairs, old glossy buildup, and whether hardware needs removal or protection. We state that plainly so the first conversation starts with useful context.
The final number follows the surface, access, preparation, finish level, and schedule. A smaller scope may be simple; a detailed transformation deserves a written scope.
