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.
