Trim & finish carpentry in Yarrow

Older Yarrow farmhouses usually need trim that suits the house rather than modern builder profiles. We match or choose profiles that fit the age of the home.

Yarrow sits at the foot of Vedder Mountain on the south west edge of Chilliwack, with older farmhouses, acreages and newer homes on Majuba Hill. Up the road, Cultus Lake and Lindell Beach have cabins and lake homes that see heavy summer use and damp winters.

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.
