Baseboard & Trim Installation in Orange County
Baseboards, casing and crown molding installed and finished by the same contractor who paints them — tight joints, level runs, and no gaps left for caulk to hide.
Baseboard, Trim and Crown Molding, Installed and Finished
Trim is the detail people notice without knowing why. A room with tight mitres, level runs and properly filled nail holes reads as finished. The same room with gapped corners and visible seams reads as unfinished no matter how good the paint on the walls is. Onyx GC installs baseboard, door and window casing, and crown molding across Orange County, and finishes it in the same visit.
Because we paint as well as install, trim gets treated as part of the finish rather than as carpentry somebody else has to come back and coat. Nail holes are filled, gaps are caulked, and the profile is primed and painted so the line between trim and wall disappears. That is the difference between trim that was installed and trim that was finished.

How much does baseboard and trim installation cost in Orange County?
Standard baseboard installation runs $5 to $8 per linear foot, covering the installation itself and the finishing that goes with it. More detailed trim, and crown molding, runs $8 to $15 or more per linear foot depending on the profile and how high it sits. To put that in room terms: a bedroom with roughly 50 linear feet of standard baseboard lands around $250 to $400, and crown molding in that same room would be $400 to $750. What moves the number is the complexity of the profile, ceiling height for crown work, how square the walls and corners actually are, whether existing trim has to come off first, and how much the wall needs patching where it was removed. Prices are all-in including materials and labor. Our typical minimum job is $300 to $500, estimates are free, and the work carries a two-year workmanship warranty.
How does Onyx GC do the work?
We start by protecting the work area — furniture moved back, floors covered, and anything not being worked on masked off. Existing trim comes off carefully where it is being replaced, and the wall behind it gets patched where the old profile pulled away. New stock is cut to fit the room rather than the plan: walls are rarely square, so corners are scribed and mitres adjusted on site until the joint closes properly. Everything is nailed off, nail holes filled, and every seam and the whole top edge caulked, because that line between trim and wall is what the eye actually reads. Then it is primed where bare and painted to finish. At the end of each workday we clean up, and at completion we walk the job with you.
Trim is usually the last thing done in a room and the first thing a visitor's eye lands on. As a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1122521) with 49 five-star Google reviews, Onyx GC installs and finishes it in one pass rather than leaving you to arrange a painter afterwards.
