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.
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.
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.
Decades of settling in Ottawa’s older housing stock mean walls and floors are often slightly out of square by the time trim goes in, and a mitred corner that looks clean has to account for that rather than fight against it. The same care applies to cabinet installs – getting the unit level and securely anchored matters as much as the assembly itself, since an off-level cabinet shows it every time a drawer opens.

From one quick fix to a full repair list, we take it on.
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.

Trim and cabinetry installed level and properly anchored should hold for years; keeping an eye on caulked seams where trim meets the wall is the main thing worth checking periodically, since that's where seasonal movement shows first.

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.
