For new interior trim in Des Plaines, decide whether the request is fitting selected baseboards or casing, completing a room after other work, or combining installation with a painted finish. Brush & Bright reviews the actual rooms, materials and conditions before confirming accepted scope and scheduling. Removal, fastening, preparation or repair that disturbs paint is limited to verified homes built in 1979 or later. Provide the construction year and source; unknown age must be checked first. Existing openings only, with no structural changes or enlargement. Email brushandbrightpaint@gmail.com with your trim details.
Use these details to separate a new installation from localized repair and finishing work. New trim locations List baseboard runs and interior door openings. Retained components Show pieces and adjacent finishes that stay. Selected profile Provide dimensions, material and product references. Wall and floor readiness Explain any unfinished work affecting the edges. Preparation and painting State installation-only or the agreed finished result. Supply and removal Separate purchases, clearance and disposal.
Agree the carpentry and finish responsibilities
Locate: List runs and openings. Select: Confirm the profile and material. Coordinate: Describe surrounding work. Define: Separate fitting and painting. Arrange: Confirm materials and access.
Keep the trim description specific within a larger project
The City of Des Plaines provides Building and Permits guidance for questions about proposed work. If new trim is the final part of a remodel, identify that project and its responsible contact. Describe baseboards, interior casing and any separate wall work clearly rather than labeling everything finish repairs. Check applicable requirements for the actual address and full scope. The trim service itself does not include structural changes, new or enlarged openings, plumbing or electrical work. Identify the surfaces that must be ready Show where the trim meets walls, flooring, fixed cabinets and doorway details. Note whether those surfaces are complete, still being changed or damaged. Flooring movement requirements must be preserved, and new trim should not cover unresolved moisture damage. Count interior door openings and specify one face or both where casing is requested. Mark retained pieces so a new installation does not silently become replacement of every adjoining component. Localized damage alone may be better handled through the existing repair service.
Agree fitting and painting as separate stages
State the endpoint you want: fitted trim only, specified preparation, or preparation plus separately agreed painting. Clarify joint and nail-hole treatment, color, sheen and included surfaces. Factory primer does not establish that a final coat is included. Identify who is responsible for painting when another contractor is involved, so the same work is not assumed by both or omitted by both. Removal can expose adjacent-wall damage; touch-ups and wider repainting need their own agreed boundary. Select materials before committing the installation plan Share the chosen profile, dimensions, material and supplied finish, with references for pieces you want matched. Similar-looking profiles can meet differently at corners and retained casing. Exact reproduction and custom milling are not promised. Approximate lengths support an estimate, but product lengths, joins and cuts affect the purchasing list. Agree material supply, furniture clearance and any removal or disposal. If a profile or finish changes, review the plan before assuming the original quantity and work scope still apply.
