Interior trim carpentry in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Interior trim includes door and window casing, window stools and aprons, baseboard, chair rail and crown. It hides gaps where walls meet openings and floors and sets the style of a room. In Metro Detroit, trim work often means matching wide original casing in an older home, retrimming after new windows or doors, or trimming out a finished basement.
A good trim carpenter sets reveals evenly, keeps miters and joints tight, scribes trim to plaster walls that bulge or dip, and uses a consistent style from room to room. Window trim is a good test of skill, since stools, aprons and returns all have to line up. Replacing trim in homes built before 1978 means disturbing old paint, so lead-safe practices apply. For specific pieces, see baseboard and crown molding.
What a proper job includes
- A walkthrough to choose profiles and set the scope by room
- Careful removal of old trim that is being replaced or reused
- Casing installed with even reveals around doors and windows
- Window stools, aprons and returns fitted cleanly
- Baseboard and chair rail with coped corners
- Nail holes filled and joints caulked for paint
- Lead-safe practices on painted trim in pre-1978 homes
What drives the price
- Number of doors, windows and rooms
- Profile, width and material
- Matching original or historic trim
- Condition of walls and jambs in older homes
- Removal of old trim and wall repair
- Painting or staining included or not

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Michigan's residential code exempts cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work from a building permit. Plumbing, electrical or gas changes need their own permits and licensed trades, and work that cuts or removes structural framing is not an ordinary repair, so confirm with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit).
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license: a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Carpentry, or a Residential Builder license. Check the number on the LARA lookup. In homes built before 1978, cutting, sanding or removing painted trim must follow the EPA lead-safe work practice rule, which requires a certified firm for paid work.
