Trim & finish carpentry in Chilliwack

Chilliwack has everything from older homes downtown and in Sardis to new builds on Promontory and the Eastern Hillsides. Trim jobs range from repairs on older houses to full base, casing and crown packages on renovations.

Chilliwack sits at the east end of our service area and gets the strongest of the winter outflow winds and plenty of rain. Exterior doors here need to be properly flashed and sealed, and floors in basements and at entries need to stand up to wet boots and damp slabs.

Why trim makes or breaks a room

Trim is the last thing that goes in and the first thing people see. A clean baseboard and casing package makes an average room look finished. Open mitres, gaps along the wall and nail holes everywhere make a new renovation look cheap.

Most of the difference is in the prep and the joinery. We cope inside corners on baseboard and crown instead of mitring them, so the joint stays tight as the house moves through the seasons. We glue and pin outside mitres, scribe to floors and walls that are not flat, and set nails where filler and paint will hide them.

Matching trim to the house

A modern build usually wants simple square or eased profiles. A character home in Fort Langley or a craftsman style house wants deeper casing, a head detail and a taller base. We help you pick a profile that suits the house and stays consistent from room to room, so the trim reads as one package rather than a mix of whatever was on sale.
