Trim & Baseboards: The Cheapest Way to Make a Room Look Finished
Oct 8, 2026 • Metro Atlanta
Thin, dated or beat-up trim makes even a freshly painted room feel unfinished. Upgrading baseboards and casing is one of the most affordable ways to make a space look custom.
What our trim installation includes
- Casing, base, shoe and crown options: Choose the profile that fits your home's style.
- Mitered corners and tight seams: Clean joints that stay closed.
- Caulk, fill, sand and paint: Every nail hole and seam is filled so the finished trim looks like one piece.
- Color-matched finishes: Trim is painted to match your doors and walls.
Picking a profile
Taller baseboards read as more traditional and substantial, while simple flat profiles feel modern. Match the height of the casing around doors and windows so the room looks planned, and pair baseboards with shoe molding where the floor is uneven so gaps disappear.
Pricing
Trim and baseboard installation runs $4 to $8 per linear foot, installed. Measure the perimeter of the room, subtract door openings, and you have a quick estimate.
Pair it with paint
New trim and a fresh coat of wall paint is the combination that makes the biggest visual difference, so we are happy to quote both together.
