Finishing Timberwork
Doors, skirting, architraves, trim.
The detail work that tells a room it is almost done. The difference between 'renovated' and 'rented-looking' lives here — in the mitres, the gap-fill, and the time spent fitting hardware properly. Plumb the jamb before you hang the door. Profile-match the era of the house, not the year of the reno. A door that swings itself shut is a jamb that was in a hurry.
