FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wood and materials does Grand Trim use?
Grand Trim works with high-quality hardwoods, engineered woods, and MDF depending on the application. Popular choices include white oak, poplar, maple, and paint-grade MDF for trim and molding. We recommend the best materials for your specific project during your consultation.
What is the difference between finish carpentry and general carpentry?
General carpentry covers structural framing and rough construction. Finish carpentry is the visible, detail-oriented work that gives a room its character including crown molding, baseboards, custom closets, wall paneling, cabinetry, and built-in features. Grand Trim specializes exclusively in finish carpentry and custom millwork.

Most Grand Trim projects are completed in one to five days. A straightforward closet system or crown molding installation might take a single day, while a full room of wainscoting or built-in shelving could take three to five days.
