What the work should include
We identify dents, open joints, loose sections and existing paint buildup before defining the finish work. Cleaning, filling and sanding should be coordinated with the selected coating. Damaged trim that needs replacement is priced as a separate repair rather than hidden under paint.
Choices to make before work starts
Choose whether to match existing white trim or change the entire room. A sample beside the wall helps reveal undertones. Confirm the finish on door casing, window trim and baseboards so adjoining pieces do not unintentionally have different sheens.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Detailed profiles, furniture access and extensive joint repairs affect time. Photograph corners and long runs, and estimate the number of rooms or total trim length.

A question about this work
Can trim be painted after new flooring is installed?
Yes, with suitable protection, but the sequence should be planned. Removing or replacing trim may be easier before the floor is complete.
