Doors, Trim & Finish Carpentry in Chicagoland

BazaNova installs and replaces interior doors, baseboards, casing, crown, closet systems, shelving and other finish carpentry. Doors are hung so they latch and stay latched; trim is coped, fitted and caulked so the joints do not open up after the first heating season.

What affects pricing

We do not publish flat prices, because the honest answer depends on the property. These are the factors that move the number on this type of work:

  • Number of doors and linear feet of trim
  • Pre-hung versus slab doors
  • Trim profile and material grade
  • Condition and squareness of existing openings
  • Whether painting is included
  • Hardware supplied by you or by us

Frequently asked questions

Can you paint the doors and trim too?
Yes — painting is a separate line in the estimate and is often more efficient done at the same time as the install.
My old house has crooked openings. Is that a problem?
It is common in older Chicago housing stock and it is handled with shimming and scribing. It does add time, which we account for in the estimate.
Do you supply the doors?
Either way works. Give us the model or let us specify options in the range you want.
Can you match existing trim?
Usually. A photo and a profile measurement tell us whether a stock profile matches or the trim needs to be milled.
