Interior Trim Installation in Arlington Heights

Use these details to separate a new installation from localized repair and finishing work.
New baseboard runs
List the rooms and approximate lengths to be fitted.
Interior door casing
Count openings and identify the faces included.
Profile consistency
Share product dimensions and any matching requirement.
Corners and meeting points
Show short returns and where new trim meets other finishes.
Retained pieces and removal
Identify what stays and any requested removal.
Installation and paint finish
Separate fitting, preparation and painting responsibilities.

List: Identify rooms and openings.
Reference: Share the selected profile.
Compare: Mark new and retained pieces.
Agree: Define fitting and finishing scope.
Prepare: Confirm materials and room access.

Give each room or opening its own line: location; baseboard or casing; approximate length or opening dimensions; selected profile; retained pieces; and finish requested. For a doorway, write “hall side only” or “both faces” rather than simply “one door.” Identify closets and short wall returns separately. This working schedule helps compare the estimate with the intended installation; it is not a cut list. Final quantities depend on product lengths, joints and cuts.
Mark each meeting point with retained trim
Photograph where the new baseboard will meet door casing, a cabinet, a threshold or trim in the next room. Label each point “match existing,” “new profile ends here” or “needs review.” Include width, thickness and product references where available. Decide where a consistent new look matters and where retained pieces are acceptable. An existing molding may not have an exact available match; custom milling and exact reproduction are not promised. Do not remove pieces just to supply a sample.

Choose the requested endpoint clearly: installation only, installation with specified joint and nail-hole preparation, or installation plus separately agreed painting. For painted work, identify color, sheen and included faces. Supplied primer is not the same as a completed finish coat. List adjacent-wall touch-ups separately, especially where old trim removal could expose damage. If two rooms need different endpoints, record them individually rather than letting “finished trim” imply the same work everywhere.
Identify the dependencies before materials are ordered
Note whether floor installation, wall repairs or other work must finish first. Share the flooring product where relevant so edge details preserve its movement requirements. Mark damaged or loose surrounding material and unresolved dampness for review rather than covering it. Agree material purchase, room clearance and any removal or disposal. Structural alterations, opening enlargement, moisture remediation, plumbing and electrical work are excluded. If the task is only a damaged short section, use localized repair rather than a new-installation schedule.

Use the form, call 224-395-4544 or email brushandbrightpaint@gmail.com. Include the Arlington Heights address and city, numbered room and opening list, baseboard lengths or casing dimensions and faces included, selected profile links, and safe photos of retained-trim meeting points. Record existing conditions, each item’s finish endpoint, priorities, access needs, and pending flooring or wall work. Name, email and request are required; phone is optional.
Provide the home construction year and its source: paint-disturbing trim work is limited to verified 1979-or-newer homes. We review sound attachment surfaces, profile compatibility, flooring movement requirements, and applicable permit or licensing requirements before agreeing on installation. Confirm material supply, room clearance, removal, disposal and finishing responsibilities separately. No structural alteration or opening enlargement is included; unresolved dampness or damaged support needs assessment rather than covering.
