Trimming out the Verona - The "After" video

Update: 11/23/13  This molding work was performed by Tant Home Improvements. I would strongly advise against using Mike Tant's services. While Mike is an excellent carpenter. his service after you hand him a large check is lacking. After he was paid we found a couple of defects. It took a great deal of effort to get him to come back to the house. He told us we are "Too picky." The repairs took him roughly 10 minutes.   He said he lost money to have to come back to fix his work (work that I paid several thousand dollars for). My advice would be if you choose to use his services, go over the work with a fine tooth comb before you cut the check.
  • Chair rail in foyer and front room. 
  • Crown moldings
  • Picture frame moldings
  • Frame out the Windows
  • Frame out the room openings.
  • Paint all trim.
Note he had to change out the window sills. Ryan doesn't cut them long enough for the moldings so they had to be replaced.

  1. IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! I LOVE HOW THEY CAPTURE THE CORNERS OF THE STAIRWAY AND NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR!

    We have the Trim Package #3 and I am so GLAD we did it! It really adds a nice touch to the home. RH claimed they could not do the upstairs when I requested it so we plan to have someone install in for us. I also want the crown molding/trim/frame around the inside of the front door.

  2. Stuart - Did you do this or hire someone or do this on your own? Was it reasonably priced? :)

    1. My role was writing the check. I hired a professional home remodeling guy. He is specifically a trim carpenter.

  3. That looks amazing! What a difference! I got the trim package with Ryan Homes. It was a good start but there is so much more I would like to have around the house!
