Custom Trim Work Ahead of a Big Move, Garnet Valley

The problem

The homeowner had a clear vision for adding specialty trim work across several key areas, including the living room, hallway, and foyer. With specific design preferences and a desire to be hands-on in the material selection process, it was important to align closely from the start. The project also came with a tight deadline, as all work needed to be completed before an upcoming trip. Coordinating multiple spaces, custom elements, and timing required careful planning and flexibility throughout.

What we did

We began by collaborating closely with the homeowner, even guiding them to our trusted lumber supplier so they could personally select the materials that best matched their vision. Once materials were ready, our team installed crown molding in the two-story foyer, completed detailed carpentry work in the living room, and painted the foyer ceiling to tie everything together. We also executed a custom, experimental design over the fireplace mantel, working carefully to bring their unique idea to life. Along the way, we addressed a minor ordering issue quickly and adjusted without impacting the overall schedule.

How it turned out

The finished result added depth, character, and a polished feel to each of the updated spaces. The custom trim and fireplace detail became standout features, giving the home a more refined and personalized look. Despite the tight timeline and a mid-project adjustment, everything was completed on schedule before the homeowner’s departure. They were extremely happy with the final result and appreciated how smoothly the entire process came together.

Rick and the team at Sabatini Pro Painting did a good job with our painting and molding project. The quality of their work was solid, and Rick was respectful, easy to communicate with, and reasonably priced. I recommend them if you're looking for professional, high-quality craftsmanship!
