Tight miters, even reveals and trim that sits flat against the wall are what make finish carpentry look right. Marlon works carefully and cleans up as he goes, whether it’s one room of baseboard or a door that won’t latch.
From a single room of baseboard to the casing around a few doors, small trim jobs are what Marlon does best.
What Marlon can help with
Baseboards & shoe molding
Installing new baseboard in a room, or replacing damaged sections so they match.

Trimming out openings, or fixing casing that has split or pulled away from the wall.
Crown molding
Adding crown to a room with clean, tight corners.
Sticking or sagging doors
Adjusting hinges, strikes and latches so interior doors close the way they should.
Interior door swaps
Hanging a replacement interior door in an existing opening.
Small millwork details
Window stools and aprons, simple wall trim and other finishing touches.
Good to know in the foothills
Bring a sample
If new trim needs to match old trim, a photo of the profile or a short offcut makes matching much easier.
Older homes move
In older foothill homes it’s common for doors to start rubbing as the house shifts. Often an adjustment is all it takes.
Ask about paint
New trim is usually filled, caulked and painted after it goes up. Ask whether painting is part of the estimate.
Common questions
How is a trim job priced?
It depends on room size, the trim profile and material prices. Send photos and rough measurements and Marlon will give you an estimate up front.
Can you match old trim?
Often, yes. Common profiles can be matched from stock; unusual older profiles may need a close substitute. A photo or offcut helps.
