Baseboard and crown molding, custom shelving, door trim, and built-in repairs by a finish carpenter. Serving Ridgewood homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
Look closely at the baseboards in an older Ridgewood home and you'll see why big-box molding disappoints here: original trim in these Victorians often stands eight or ten inches tall, with profiles no modern aisle carries. Matching it is the heart of carpentry and trim work in Ridgewood. Sometimes a close-enough profile can be built up from two or three stock moldings; sometimes a damaged section is best repaired with filler and a steady hand rather than replaced; occasionally the right answer is hunting salvage. The same thinking applies to picture rails — common in Heights-section homes — which should be repaired and used, not torn out, since they let you hang art without ever puncturing old plaster. Door casings that have drifted out of square from a century of settling can usually be eased and re-shimmed rather than rebuilt. If you're planning any trim project, save every piece that comes off the wall intact: an original ten-inch baseboard section is a template, a repair donor, and evidence of what the house deserves.
