Exterior/Interior Molding: Molding might seem like a minor detail, but it is like the punctuation marks of your home's design, adding emphasis and definition to its architectural style. Both inside and outside, molding plays a crucial role in elevating your living space and boosting its curb appeal. Let us delve into the world of residential molding, exploring its types, functions, and how it can transform your home:

Trim and molding installation: This includes baseboards, crown molding, chair/picture rails, and wainscoting. These elements can add architectural detail and definition to a room, and they can also help to cover up gaps or imperfections in the walls. 

Baseboards: These hug the floor where the wall meets, covering any unevenness and providing a clean transition. They come in various styles, from simple to ornate, and can be painted or stained to match your décor.

• Crown molding: Running horizontally where wall meets ceiling, crown molding adds grandeur and sophistication. It comes in various profiles and can be simple or highly decorative.
• Chair/Picture rails: These thin moldings run horizontally around a room, providing a perch for displaying artwork or mirrors. They are especially useful in rooms with high ceilings and can add a touch of elegance.
• Wainscoting: Paneling the lower portion of a wall, wainscoting adds texture, warmth, and architectural detail. It is perfect for hallways, dining rooms, and libraries, and can be painted or stained for a custom touch. 
• Interior Door Replacement: If your doors are damaged or drafty, they can make it difficult to get a good paint finish. A carpenter can repair or replace them to ensure a smooth and even surface for painting.
• Drywall repair: If your walls have cracks, holes, or other imperfections, they will need to be repaired before you can paint. A carpenter can patch & sand drywall to create a smooth surface for painting.

Wood restoration: Many older homes might need TLC when it comes to wood restoration. Here are some of the most common:

1. Age and Wear: Wood is a natural material that will eventually deteriorate over time. This can be due to exposure to the elements, such as sunlight, rain, and wind, as well as from everyday wear and tear. As wood ages, it can begin to crack, warp, rot, and lose its structural integrity.
2. Pest Damage: Termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects can cause considerable damage to wood. If you see signs of pest damage, such as sawdust or holes in the wood, it is important to have the wood restored as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
3. Water Damage: Water can cause wood to swell, warp, and rot. Even if the wood dries out, the damage can be permanent. If you have had a water leak or flood in your home, it is important to have the wood inspected for damage and restored as needed.
4. Aesthetic Reasons: Even if there is no structural damage, you may simply want to restore wood for aesthetic reasons. For example, you may want to restore the original finish of a piece of furniture or woodwork, or you may want to change the color or style of the wood.

Benefits of Wood Restoration:

• There are many benefits to restoring wood rather than replacing it. Wood restoration is often more cost-effective than replacement, and it can also be more environmentally friendly. In addition, wood restoration can help to preserve the historical character of your home.
• If you are thinking about restoring wood in your home, it is important to consult with a qualified professional to assess the damage and determine the best course of action. A professional can also help you choose the right materials and techniques for the job.
