Trim Installation in Malden, MA
Installed, caulked and painted as one job so the finish lines up with the walls.
How this plays out in Malden
Carpentry comes before coating on Malden exteriors. Malden buildings sit close. Ladder and staging placement on a three-storey exterior is planned in advance, often with a neighbour's cooperation. We repair or replace it first, because paint over soft wood buys a season.
How we do it
Installed, caulked and painted as one job so the finish lines up with the walls.
Scribed to the wall rather than caulked to hide a gap. Mitres get glued, not just nailed, so seasonal movement doesn't open them. Nail holes filled twice — the first fill always shrinks.
The mistake we get called to fix
Relying on caulk to close a quarter-inch gap. It shrinks, cracks and shows a shadow line within a year.
