The Value of Quality Trim
Trim and moulding installation is one of the most impactful finishing touches in any interior renovation. Well-executed trim transforms a house from builder-grade to custom — and it's one of the details that experienced buyers and appraisers notice immediately.
Baseboard moulding is the starting point in any room. Standard builder baseboard is typically 2.5" to 3" tall. Upgrading to 4" or 5" baseboard with a more substantial profile adds architectural presence to any room. The height of the moulding should be proportionate to the ceiling height.
Material and Style Options
Crown moulding is the signature of a well-finished room. It bridges the transition between wall and ceiling and adds a sense of formality and completion. Crown installation is the most technically demanding trim work — proper coping of inside corners is an art that separates professional results from amateur ones.
Window and door casing frames the openings in a room and ties the trim package together. Matching the casing profile to the baseboard and crown creates a cohesive, custom look. Craftsman-style casings are popular in Ontario bungalows and Prairie-style homes. Traditional ogee or colonial profiles suit Victorian and Georgian architecture.
Professional Installation
Chair rail and wainscoting add vertical interest and protect walls in high-traffic areas. In dining rooms and hallways, a chair rail at 32"–36" height with painted or papered wainscoting below is a classic combination that adds both style and durability.
