01the possibilities
The finishing trim that makes a room feel complete
Trim is often what makes the difference. In an older home the original profiles are not always available off the shelf, so the work is carefully matching what is already there or recreating it. In a newer home it is the reverse. Builder-grade base and casing tend to be thin, and heavier trim gives the rooms a more finished look. Different homes, but the same goal, trim that suits the home.
Good trim is what makes a room feel truly finished. We install crown molding, baseboards, wainscoting, board and batten, chair and picture rail, and window and door casings. Rooms are rarely perfectly square, older ones least of all, and cutting clean, tight joints in a room that is out of square is where more than 30 years of experience shows.

Matched to what is there
Kevin looks at the room in person. In an older home he takes the existing profile off the wall so the new trim matches, then sends a detailed estimate.

Tight joints, caulked and puttied
Kevin and Lil Kevin install the crown, baseboard, casings and wainscoting, cutting clean, tight joints in rooms that are rarely perfectly square, then caulk and putty them.

Plank accent wall and barn door
Mixed tone boards run across an arched alcove, with a barn door built from the same stock so it disappears into the wall when it is closed. The arch is why this one had to be cut on site.

04 no surprises
A change order you approved is not a surprise
Older homes turn up the most, but even a newer one can hide something nobody could see at the estimate. That possibility is written into our estimates and proposals, and you sign it before anything starts. So when something does come up, the work stops, Kevin walks you through it, and it becomes a change order you approve, rather than something you find out about afterwards.
- it was disclosed before you signed
- the work stops
- Kevin talks it through with you
- you approve the change order
You decide before it goes ahead
They gave us a detailed quote and kept us informed every step of the way. There were no surprises from them for hidden costs or additional fees. Everything was extremely transparent.

Trim Carpentry Questions, Answered
General
Can you match trim in an older home that no store carries?
Yes, that is most of the work. Kevin takes the existing profile off the wall and either matches it or builds the same shape up out of separate stock. On an older home there is no catalog to order from.
What counts as trim carpentry?
Baseboard, casing around doors and windows, crown molding, wainscoting and paneling, and the finish details that make a room read as finished rather than builder grade. Kevin started out in rough framing, and trim is some of the work he loves.
Does the owner actually do the work?
Yes. Kevin is on every job. His son Lil Kevin works alongside him, and the person who prices your project is the person who builds it. There is no sales rep handing your job to a crew you have never met.
How big is your crew?
Three of us, and that is the whole company. Kevin and his son Lil Kevin are the two on site, and Amanda handles every call and inquiry. The two of them get through what a crew of four would.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
No, Lumber Lunatics works on homes rather than commercial buildings.
Pricing
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Kevin comes out and looks at the job with you and talks through the options. He does not price it on the spot, because materials and labor have to be worked out properly, so the detailed estimate comes to you afterwards. There is no charge and no obligation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, check, zelle, and credit cards.
Trust
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on every project, with the specific terms spelled out in your written proposal before the work begins.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
If your project needs major plumbing or electrical work, Kevin will tell you so and recommend you bring in a licensed plumber or electrician. He is not licensed for that work and he is not going to pretend otherwise. You will hear that at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, Lumber Lunatics is insured on every project.
How far out are you booking?
Scheduling varies based on the scope of your project and our current workload. We will provide our current availability when we discuss your project.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend area, roughly an hour out. That includes Crawfordville, Quincy, Havana, Monticello, Midway, Blountstown, and Sneads. If you are near the edge of that, just ask.
