Trim & finish carpentry in White Rock

White Rock and Ocean Park view homes often call for upscale trim, panelling and crown, laid out so the lines stay straight in large open rooms.

White Rock homes face the water, which means wind driven rain off Semiahmoo Bay and salt air. Exterior and patio doors take a beating, and hardware corrodes faster than it does inland. We pick exterior doors, thresholds and hardware that suit a coastal exposure and seal them properly.

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.
