What it typically costs
Carpentry, Trim & Cabinet Installation
$200-$700
Most trim and cabinet jobs. Final price is set in your free written quote.
Linear footage of trim, or the number and size of cabinets, are the main cost drivers – a small trim touch-up costs far less than a full room's worth of baseboard or a multi-cabinet install.
Older homes are rarely square
What's involved
We measure every wall and floor before cutting, because settled Ottawa homes are rarely square and a clean mitre has to follow the wall as it is. Cabinets are levelled and anchored to the framing so doors and drawers run true. When trim has to match your existing baseboard, we source the same profile or the closest available one and confirm it with you before starting.
Signs it's time to call
Missing or damaged trim that doesn't match the rest of the room, a cabinet that needs to go in level and securely anchored, or baseboards and shelving that need a clean, precise fit are typical calls.
What carpentry, trim, and cabinet installation depends on
Clean corners take more than a saw
A tight mitred corner on baseboard or casing comes down to accurate measuring and a square cut – it's the detail that makes trim work look either professional or obviously DIY.
Older homes are rarely square
Century and mid-century Ottawa homes have settled enough over the decades that walls and floors are often slightly out of square, which trim work has to account for rather than fight against.
Flat-pack cabinets, installed level
Kitchen and vanity cabinet installs are as much about getting the unit level and securely anchored as they are about assembly – a cabinet that's slightly off will show it every time a drawer opens.
