Carpentry and Finishes: Small Details That Can Prevent Big Problems

When we think about carpentry and finishes, we often associate them only with aesthetics. However, small details can be the fine line between a comfortable home and serious problems.

The Initial Problem

A client reached out to us reporting that some baseboards in his new home were coming loose. He thought it was just a minor visual inconvenience. But when we evaluated the situation, we discovered the issue was more serious than it appeared.

What We Found During the Inspection

The poorly installed baseboards left gaps where moisture could enter, while also creating openings for insects. Left unattended, this detail could have led to wood rot and an increased risk of pest infestation throughout the property.

Why Carpentry and Finishes Matter

v  Moisture protection: when well executed, carpentry prevents hidden water infiltration.

v  Aesthetic value: high-quality finishes elevate the look and increase the value of the home.

v  Prevention of future problems: proper details today avoid costly renovations tomorrow.
