Interior doors, trim and a weekend punch list

The list that never gets done: four hollow doors swapped for shaker doors with new handles, missing baseboard in the hallway, a closet door that stuck, floating shelves, a towel bar and the caulk everywhere.

The ask

What the homeowners wanted

Knock out the whole list in one visit instead of living with it for another year.

What we did

  • Four pre-hung shaker doors fitted to out-of-square openings, black lever handles and matching hinges
  • Hallway baseboard and shoe molding matched to the original profile and painted
  • Closet door planed, re-hung and adjusted so it closes with one finger
  • Three floating shelves and a towel bar anchored into studs
  • Tub, trim and window caulk redone, nail holes filled, touch-up paint everywhere

The result

Doors that close, trim that matches and a list crossed off in two days. Most small-jobs visits look like this: a morning walkthrough, a written price, and one or two days of work.

Representative project. Photos illustrate the type of work; your estimate is written for your home after a walkthrough.
