Carpentry, Trim & Cabinets in St. Louis: Detail Work That Holds Up

·5 min read

Carpentry, trim, and cabinet work in St. Louis is where a house's finish quality lives. The baseboard that's pulled away from the wall, the crown molding with a gap at the joint, the cabinet door that won't close, the built-in shelf that sags — these are the details that make a home feel cared for or neglected. Here's what we handle and how we match the work to older St. Louis homes.

The trim and carpentry work we do

  • Baseboard, casing, and crown molding installation and repair
  • Rotted or damaged trim cut out and replaced
  • Cabinet hinge adjustments, soft-close retrofits, new handles
  • Cabinet door and drawer repair or replacement
  • Stair tread, railing, and baluster repair
  • Custom closet organizers and built-in shelving

Full scope on our carpentry, trim and cabinets page.

Matching profiles in older homes

St. Louis's older homes have trim profiles you can't buy off the shelf anymore. Matching a 1920s colonial casing or a 1950s ranch baseboard means either sourcing from a specialty mill or running a custom profile. We've handled both, and the match is what makes a repair disappear into the room. A close-but-not-right profile stands out the moment you walk in.

Cabinet hinges and soft-close

Cabinet doors that won't stay aligned, drawers that stick, hinges that squeak — these are adjustable, not broken. We re-align the doors, adjust the hinges, and we can retrofit soft-close on many existing cabinets for a fraction of a cabinet replacement. New handles and knobs are a one-visit refresh that changes the whole kitchen.

Stairs and built-ins

Stair treads split, balusters loosen, and railings sag. We replace treads, re-secure balusters, and square railings. For built-ins — closet organizers, shelving, custom storage — we build to fit the space, not force an off-the-shelf unit to almost fit.

Frequently asked questions

Can you match the trim profile in an older St. Louis home?
Yes — we source from specialty mills or run a custom profile to match an existing colonial or ranch casing so the repair disappears into the room.
Can you fix cabinet doors without replacing the cabinets?
Usually yes. We re-align doors, adjust hinges, retrofit soft-close, and add new handles — a fraction of a cabinet replacement and often all a kitchen needs.
