Completed project: window trim painting in Richmond Hill

Not every job is a renovation. This Richmond Hill kitchen had window casings in tired, bare wood that pulled the whole room down — the kind of detail you stop seeing until it is fixed. The homeowners wanted them a clean, bright white to match the trim elsewhere in the house.

The scope of work

Trim looks simple to paint and rewards patience. We sanded and cleaned the casings, primed the bare wood so the finish would bond and not blotch, and applied a smooth white topcoat with clean cut-in lines against the glass and wall. Careful masking and a steady hand are what keep the lines crisp and the glass clean.

Fresh white trim lifts a room more than its small size suggests — it sharpens every window and ties the space to the rest of the house. It is the kind of quick win that makes a kitchen feel cared for.

What trim painting costs

• A few windows or a room of trim: $200–$500
• Whole-home trim, doors and casings: quoted after a walkthrough

Bare wood that needs priming, and the number of openings, drive the price. We give a clear number before starting.

Why hire a professional

• Bare wood has to be primed correctly or the topcoat blotches and peels.
• Crisp lines against glass and walls come from proper masking and cutting-in, not luck.
• A smooth, brush-mark-free finish on trim is a practised skill and the first thing the eye lands on.
