Common Kitchen Trim & Moulding Issues & Signs It Needs a Professional
Trim is the finishing touch that turns a kitchen from 'fine' to 'finished.' Damaged, missing, or amateurishly installed trim is immediately visible.
- Gaps Where Trim Meets the Wall or Ceiling: House settling and humidity changes pull trim away, creating ugly gaps that catch dust.
- Missing or Damaged Cabinet Trim: Crown over upper cabinets often gets bumped, cracked, or pulls loose over time.
- Poorly Mitered Corners: Mismatched angles or visible seams scream 'amateur installation' and ruin the look.
- Outdated or Plain Profiles: Modern, taller profiles instantly elevate the look of your kitchen.
