What the work should include
We review existing casing, jamb edges and nearby walls. The scope identifies removal, new trim, fitted corners and finishing, plus any wall repair exposed by removing old pieces. Paint or stain should be specified separately so installed does not become an ambiguous finish standard.
Choices to make before work starts
Compare casing width with light switches, adjacent doors and baseboards. A wider profile can conceal some old marks but may conflict with neighboring details. Confirm how it meets the baseboard and whether the style will continue through the room.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Opening count, wall irregularity and finish choice affect labor. Send complete opening photos and a sample or specification of the desired profile.

A question about this work
Can wider casing be installed without changing anything else?
Sometimes, but neighboring trim, switches and wall boundaries can limit its width and need review.
