Carpentry & Trim

Custom shelving, trim repair, baseboards, crown molding, door hangs, and built-ins — clean cuts and tight joints, every time.

Signs You May Need This

  • Damaged or missing baseboards and shoe molding
  • Trim that's separated from the wall over time
  • Doors that won't latch, drag the floor, or stick in summer
  • A closet, pantry, or garage that needs custom shelves
  • A built-in bench, mudroom hook rail, or floating shelf project
  • Rotten exterior trim around windows or doors

Carpentry Done With Patience

Trim is the part of a house that everyone sees and almost no one notices — until it’s done badly. Presto Change-O’s Handywork takes the time to scribe, cope, and miter so the joints actually disappear. No globs of caulk hiding sloppy cuts.

What Preston Builds and Repairs

Baseboard, shoe molding, and quarter-round replacement. Crown molding repair and small new runs. Door hanging — pre-hung, slab, and pocket. Custom closet shelving and pantry organizers. Floating shelves anchored to studs (not toggle bolts that pull out the second you put a book on them). Mudroom benches, hook rails, and entry built-ins. Exterior trim and fascia repair, including rot replacement.

Materials Done Right

For paint-grade work Preston uses primed finger-jointed pine or MDF where appropriate; for stain-grade he’ll match species and grain direction. Fasteners get countersunk and filled, joints get glued, and everything gets primed before paint so the final coat actually looks like a finish — not a touch-up.

Small Builds Welcome

If you’ve been browsing Pinterest for a built-in or a mudroom storage wall and don’t know who builds those, you do now. Send a couple of inspiration photos and Preston will scope a fixed-price build for it.

FAQ

Questions Asked Often

Don't see your question? Text Preston at (512) 300-8483 and you'll have an answer fast.

What areas do you serve?
Round Rock, Hutto, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Leander, Taylor, Liberty Hill, Jonestown, and the rest of the North Austin metro. If you're outside that ring, ask anyway — Preston will tell you up-front whether the trip charge makes sense for your project.
How are your jobs priced?
Every job is quoted in writing before any work begins, with the scope spelled out so you know exactly what you're paying for. The estimate visit itself is free in the service area.
How small a job will you take on?
Almost any size — from a single sticky door up through a multi-day list. Preston will quote whatever you need before you book, so you always know the cost in advance.
How soon can you come out?
Most weeks Preston has openings within 2–5 days. Urgent items (a door that won't close, a leak, a wobbling toilet) often get same-day or next-day slots. Text or call (512) 300-8483 to check the current week's availability.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Not always. For inside work most clients prefer to be home for the first half hour while Preston walks the project, then they head out. Repeat clients often leave a key or a code. Whatever you're comfortable with works.
