What custom millwork and feature wall finishing in Vancouver involves

Millwork and feature walls need clean carpentry transitions, careful caulking and a finish that stands up to touch.

Vancouver's custom homes in some of the historical places of the districts areas such as Dunbar and Kerrisdale have original crown moulding, baseboard profiles, and picture rails that define the room's character. Millwork often needs careful repair before recoating -- filling nail holes, removing old caulk and re-caulking shrinkage gaps, and sanding profiles without flattening the original detail. New shiplap or board-and-batten installations in Mount Pleasant lofts need a different finishing approach entirely.

For custom millwork and feature walls in Vancouver, lasting quality comes from the joinery, the edges and the order the finish goes on.

Most millwork and feature wall work projects in Vancouver run $7,500 to $13,400. Heritage plaster, high ceilings and decorative moulding are considered when defining the preparation and finish your project needs. Your consultation defines the scope, products and finish level, with the pricing approach explained in your proposal.
