Trim & Molding Repair
Sharp trim lines make every paint job look finished.
Cracked caulk, dented baseboards, gaps at the corners, and soft or rotted wood stand out fast, and fresh paint only highlights them. We repair trim and molding inside and outside your home first, so the finish looks crisp and lasts.

What’s Included
Caulking & Gap Sealing
We remove failing caulk and seal gaps where trim meets walls, ceilings, and corners, so lines look clean and moisture stays out.
Dent & Nail Hole Patching
Dings, nail holes, and old fastener marks are filled and sanded smooth, so they disappear under the new finish.
Cracked & Split Trim Repair
Cracks, split joints, and loose pieces are repaired and secured, so the trim sits flat and holds its shape.
Wood Rot Repair
Soft or rotted trim, especially around windows, doors, and fascia, is repaired or replaced before the damage spreads.
Trim Matching & Replacement
When a section is too damaged to save, we replace it with a close match to your existing profile.
Prep & Repaint
Everything is sanded, primed, and painted for a smooth, even finish that blends with the rest of your space.
Idaho Climate
Why It Matters More in Idaho
Dry Idaho air and big seasonal swings make wood expand and shrink more than many homeowners expect. Over time that opens gaps at joints, cracks old caulk, and splits paint. Outside, strong sun breaks down finishes, and irrigation overspray or snowmelt can leave trim around windows and near the ground damp, which is where rot usually starts.
Paint only covers what is smooth and sound. Repair first, then paint.

Prime, Paint & Walkthrough
We prime and paint, clean up, and go over the finished work with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you paint over damaged trim?
You can, but it will not last. Paint over cracks, gaps, or soft wood tends to peel or crack again, so we repair the damage first. Request a free estimate and we will check your trim.
What is the difference between caulk and wood filler?
Caulk is flexible and seals gaps where trim meets another surface. Wood filler is hard and fills dents and holes in the wood itself. We use each where it belongs. Not sure what your trim needs? Get a free estimate.
How can I tell if my trim has rot?
Soft, spongy, or crumbling wood, bubbling paint, and dark stains are common signs, especially around windows and doors. Rot can hide under paint, so we test suspect spots during the estimate. Schedule a free estimate to have yours checked.
Is it better to repair or replace trim?
Minor damage can be repaired and usually costs less. If the wood is badly rotted or the profile is broken, replacing that section is the better long-term fix. We will recommend one or the other during your free estimate.
Can trim repair be part of a larger painting project?
Yes. We can include trim repair in an interior house painting or exterior house painting project, so everything is repaired and finished together. Request a free estimate to plan yours.
When is the best time to repair exterior trim?
Spring through early fall, when conditions are dry enough for caulk, primer, and paint to cure properly. Call us now for a free estimate and to discuss scheduling.
How much does trim and molding repair cost?
It depends on how much trim is involved, how damaged it is, and whether it needs repair or replacement. We offer free, no-obligation estimates. Get in touch for a free estimate.
