Working in Philadelphia

Philadelphia row houses, twins, and older detached homes often have walls, ceilings, and openings that are not perfectly square. Trim is measured and fitted to the actual conditions rather than relying only on standard room dimensions.


Frequently Asked Questions — Philadelphia

My rowhome's walls aren't square — can you still install wainscoting or crown?
Yes, and this is most of what city work is. We scribe every piece to the actual conditions of the wall and ceiling rather than assuming anything is straight. Done right, the finished trim reads clean even when the room behind it isn't.

Can you match the original trim in my older Philadelphia home?
In most cases, yes. We bring a profile gauge to every estimate on older homes and either find a matching stock profile or build up the look from available moldings. Many of the profiles found in Philadelphia housing stock are replicable without custom milling.

Do you work on plaster walls?
Yes. Plaster requires different fastening and prep than drywall, and we plan for it — locating solid backing, pre-drilling where needed, and keeping cracking to a minimum. It's routine for us.

Do you take on single-room jobs in the city, or only larger projects?
We take on single-room projects. Crown molding in one room, a board and batten accent wall, one set of built-ins — all jobs we do. No minimum project size.
