Trim is finish material used around edges, openings or transitions, such as baseboards, door casings and moldings.

What this means at your property

Removing trim can provide access to an affected wall edge, but the piece may be damaged, swollen or difficult to match. A proposal should distinguish temporary removal and reinstallation from supplying new material.

What should be agreed before trim is removed?

Record the profile, finish and existing condition. Ask how pieces will be labeled and stored, what happens if they cannot be reused and whether painting, caulking or replacement material is included in the repair price.
