Trim:

- Trim refers to the decorative elements installed around doors, windows, ceilings, and floors to enhance the appearance of a room or space. It serves to cover gaps between surfaces, hide imperfections, and provide a finished look.
- Types of Trim:
  - Baseboards: Installed at the bottom of walls where they meet the floor, baseboards cover the joint and add visual interest.
  - Casing: Surrounds doors and windows, covering the gap between the frame and the wall. Casing can be simple or elaborate, depending on the desired style.
  - Crown Molding: Installed where walls meet ceilings, crown molding adds elegance and visual interest to a room.
  - Chair Rail: Installed horizontally along walls, typically at chair-height, chair rail protects walls from chair backs and adds a decorative touch.
- Materials: Trim can be made from various materials, including wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), polyurethane, and PVC. Wood is a popular choice for its natural beauty and versatility, but synthetic materials like MDF and polyurethane offer durability and affordability.
- Installation: Trim is typically installed using nails, adhesive, or a combination of both. Careful measurement and cutting are essential for a precise fit, and finishing nails are often used to minimize visible holes.

Woodworking:

- Woodworking involves crafting and shaping wood into functional or decorative objects using various tools and techniques.
- Types of Woodworking we handle:
  - Carpentry: Carpentry focuses on building structures and frameworks using wood, such as framing houses, constructing furniture, and installing cabinetry.
  - Cabinetmaking: Cabinetmaking involves crafting cabinets, shelves, and storage units using woodworking techniques such as joinery, milling, and finishing.
- Tools: Woodworking requires a variety of hand and power tools, including saws, chisels, planes, drills, sanders, and routers. Each tool has specific uses for cutting, shaping, smoothing, and joining wood.
- Techniques: Common woodworking techniques include sawing, planing, routing, joining (e.g., dovetail joints, mortise and tenon joints), carving, sanding, and finishing (e.g., staining, painting, varnishing).
