Baseboard, casing, crown, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, feature walls, built-ins and custom doors, designed for your home and fitted tight by hand.
Trim and millwork is the finish carpentry that gives a room its character: the profiles around doors and windows, the panelling on the walls, the detail on the ceiling and the built-ins that make a space feel designed rather than decorated.
It is also the part of a renovation most people notice without knowing why. Mitres that close, reveals that are even, panel layouts that land symmetrically on a wall, crown that follows a wavy ceiling without a gap. This is the core of what Trimpro does. Whether it is a single feature wall or a whole-house trim package, the work is measured, laid out and fitted on site.
Layout is the difference between trim that looks applied and trim that looks like it was always there.
We look at ceiling height, window and door positions and the room's proportions, then sketch panel layouts and trim sizes that suit the room.
MDF, finger-jointed pine or hardwood, primed or stain grade, and the exact profiles for casing, base and crown. Samples are held up in the room.
Panel spacing, reveals and heights are set out on the wall so every joint is planned and symmetry lands where the eye expects it.
Cut and fitted on site: coped inside corners, tight mitres, scribed to the floor and ceiling, nailed and glued.
Nail holes filled, joints sanded, caulked to the wall and left paint-ready, or painted by us if that is part of the scope.
Each pairing suits a different room, budget and style.
MDF is stable, smooth and takes paint beautifully. Wood is stronger, takes stain and holds detail at the edges.
Applied mouldings on the drywall create a picture-frame or grid look quickly. Full panels with stiles and rails build a thicker, more traditional wainscot.
A coffered grid divides the ceiling into recessed squares. Box beams run one direction for a simpler, more relaxed look.
Fitting time depends on the room as much as the material.
One feature wall, one room or a whole house of base, casing and crown.
Tall baseboard, built-up crown and layered headers use more material and more pieces per run.
Primed MDF, paint-grade wood or stain-grade hardwood, and whether painting is included.
Out-of-plumb walls, wavy ceilings and uneven floors take extra scribing and fitting.
Doors, drawers, lighting and adjustable shelves turn a bookcase into cabinetry.
Working overhead on a coffered ceiling or beams is slower and needs more layout than wall trim.
Trim is priced by the project, not by the foot alone. The estimate lists each wall, ceiling or built-in so you can add or remove pieces.
Ceilings, panelled walls, doors and stairs.
Trim & Millwork from our home base in Woodstock, Ontario to Kitchener, Guelph and Cambridge, with London and Brantford also covered.

Interior renovations in GuelphIn Cambridge, feature walls and coffered ceilings are a way to give a 1990s open plan some definition between the living and dining areas.
Interior renovations in CambridgeStraight answers to the questions homeowners ask before a trim carpentry and millwork project.
Trim is the standard profiles around doors, windows, floors and ceilings. Millwork is the broader category of shop-made wood products: panelling, built-ins, mantels, stair parts and custom doors.
MDF for painted trim in dry rooms: stable, smooth and cost-effective. Wood for stain grade, for stairs and for anywhere that gets wet or knocked.
A traditional guide is about a third of the wall height, so roughly 32 to 36 inches in an 8 foot room. Taller two-thirds panelling suits dining rooms and hallways with higher ceilings.
Usually yes. Common profiles are still made, and uncommon ones can be built up from stock pieces or milled to match.
Trim is delivered filled, sanded and caulked, ready for paint. Painting can be included in the scope or left to your painter.
