Molding & Trim done the right way.
Finish carpentry and trim work that make flooring installations look intentional, complete, and custom.
Overview
The work, in context.
Trim is what makes a flooring project look finished instead of installed. Baseboard height, shoe molding, quarter-round, and transition pieces all have to respect the new floor height, the existing wall plane, and the door casings. In older Los Angeles homes — craftsman, Spanish, midcentury — the original profiles often can't be bought off the shelf, so we match them on-site or flag where a deliberate new profile will read better than an imperfect copy.
Why it matters
The trim is where rough framing and finished flooring meet. Any gap, height change, or out-of-plumb wall shows up here first. Skipping or rushing the trim is the fastest way to make an expensive floor look cheap.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need new trim when replacing floors?
Not always, but new or adjusted trim often gives the cleanest finished look, especially after height changes or layout updates.
Can you match existing molding profiles?
We can usually get very close and will flag any profile mismatch before installation starts.
Should trim be installed before or after the floor?
Baseboards are typically installed before the floor and then scribed to meet it; shoe molding, quarter-round, and transitions go in after the floor is down. We coordinate the sequence with any painters or other trades so the finish order doesn't create rework.
