Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here's what Durham homeowners ask us most about interior carpentry.
Do you paint the trim and paneling after installation?
Let us know what you're looking for when you request an estimate — finishing can often be included in the scope of work, and we'll quote it accordingly.
Can you match existing trim in my home?
In most cases, yes. Send a photo of the current trim profile and we'll let you know what's available or closest to it.
Do you install baby gates without drilling into walls?
Hardware-mounted gates are the safest option, especially at stairs, and they do require mounting. We install them cleanly and place the hardware where it can be patched easily later if you remove the gate.
How much weight can a floating shelf hold?
That depends on the shelf and hardware, but properly anchoring into framing makes a significant difference. Let us know what you plan to display and we'll install accordingly.
How long does an interior carpentry project take?
Small installations are often done in a single visit. Wainscoting, accent walls, and whole-room trim typically take one to three days depending on size and detail.
