What Finished Carpentry Includes in Practice

Your project begins with a walkthrough to identify trim profiles, materials, and finishes that match your home in Woodstock. Measurements are taken at multiple points to account for walls that are not perfectly plumb or floors that are not level. Stock is selected for grain consistency and minimal defects.

After installation, you will see baseboards that sit tight to the floor, door and window casings with uniform spacing, and corners that meet without gaps. Crown molding follows the ceiling line smoothly, and built-in shelving or cabinetry fits snugly into alcoves or closets without visible shims or filler strips.

All trim is coped or mitered depending on joint type, and fasteners are countersunk below the surface for filling. Gaps are caulked where trim meets drywall or where two surfaces come together. RLF Contracting llc uses quality materials and installs trim to last through typical expansion and contraction cycles in Midwest homes.

Common Questions About Interior Trim Work

Homeowners in Woodstock often ask about material choices, installation methods, and what finished carpentry actually improves. These answers cover the most common concerns before starting interior trim or built-in projects.

What is the difference between coped and mitered joints?
A mitered joint cuts two pieces at matching angles to form a corner. A coped joint cuts the profile of one piece to fit the face of another, which creates a tighter fit that holds up better as wood expands and contracts.

How long does it take to install trim in one room?
Most rooms take one to two days depending on the amount of trim, number of corners, and whether casings or crown molding are included. Larger projects with built-ins or custom millwork take longer.

What type of wood is used for interior trim?
Paint-grade trim is usually made from primed MDF or finger-jointed pine. Stain-grade trim uses solid hardwood such as oak, maple, or poplar depending on the desired finish and budget.

Why do some baseboards have gaps at the floor?
Gaps appear when floors are uneven or when trim is not scribed to follow the floor profile. RLF Contracting llc scribes baseboards to fit tight against flooring and uses shims or filler where necessary to close visible gaps.

When is finished carpentry done during a remodel?
Finished carpentry happens after drywall is hung, taped, and primed but before final paint. This allows trim to be installed cleanly and painted along with walls for a cohesive finish.
