9 Interior Carpentry Upgrades to Elevate Your Home’s Look and Functionality
A study conducted by the National Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry suggests that most homeowners find great satisfaction in small-scale remodelling. This includes bedroom upgrades, kitchen renovation, and reroofing. These small, yet impactful renovations can improve a home’s aesthetic, functionality, and resale value.
At Queen Anne Painting & Carpentry, we combine meticulous carpentry with polished finishes to help achieve your remodelling goals. In this blog, we discuss some of the popular interior carpentry upgrades that enhance your home.
Baseboard Installation
Baseboards are a versatile, small addition to your home. They can be used to accent your walls, hide wiring, protect the walls from furniture scratches, and more. There are also lots of designs for baseboards today, giving you more options to personalize your home. You can choose from modern, minimalist designs or classic, decorative ones. Baseboards are made of different materials and finishes. If you are unsure which material works best for your walls, consult a local carpentry and painting contractor.
Built-In Shelving & Storage
Custom or built-in shelves and storage transform your rooms into functional and easy-to-navigate spaces. These additions are great for small kitchens, personalized home offices, or walk-in closets. With custom built-ins, you can add bookshelves in wall crevices, a drawer underneath a window seat, or a slim pull-out cabinet for your spices. We customize designs, including lighting and power layouts, to suit your lifestyle and home dimensions.
Crown Molding Installation
Hide the imperfections in that spot where your walls meet the ceiling. This small, cost-effective upgrade, called crown molding, can add instant polish and make ceilings look taller. Our carpenters and painters at Queen Anne Painting & Carpentry can help you find the best crown molding to complement your doors, windows, and baseboards.
Custom Cabinets
Some houses are not suited for off-the-shelf cabinets and storage. Their classy architecture and one-of-a-kind furniture would sit well with custom cabinetry. However, every homeowner agrees that well-fitted kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and closets make exceptional interiors. Queen Anne Painting & Carpentry can customize your cabinet depth, interior organization, and door styles to create unique cabinets. We also use quality hardware and finishes, such as soft-close hinges and full-extension slides.
Door & Window Trim Refresh
Adding a custom casing for doors and windows elevates the room’s aesthetics. We replace dinged or dated trim with clean profiles. We also add back-band details for depth, and finish with tight caulking and paint to hide seams. Your doors and windows can look different with new hardware – and without major renovation! It’s like you installed brand new windows and doors.
New Interior & Entry Doors
Install solid-core interior doors in place of your hollow-core ones to improve substance and sound control. New entry doors can improve curb appeal and energy efficiency. We align door jambs and hinges for a good fit. We also do weatherstripping, install hardware, and paint/stain for a factory-smooth finish.
Bathroom & Kitchen Remodels
We handle everything from cabinet replacement to full layout updates. Our carpenters and painters work together to ensure a seamless match in all cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, shelves, trims, and paneling. We minimize downtime by scheduling each phase of the project, so you can use your bathroom or kitchen again as soon as possible.
Wainscot Panel Installation
Wainscot paneling adds dimension and protection to prevent wall damage caused by friction. Your options include picture-frame boxes, geometric patterns, classic beadboards, or a modern square-grid. We set proportions to your ceiling height, such as ⅓ or ⅖ of the wall, and align with outlets and trim. We give it a smooth, durable finish.
Window Replacement & Interior Finishing
New windows improve comfort and quiet. We ensure tight, plumb installs and meticulous interior finishing. This includes sealed trim, insulated gaps, and paint that blends into adjacent walls. Doing so brightens the room and lessens drafts, as well as creates a finish that feels original.
