Craftsmanship That Make a House Feel Like Home
Crown molding, baseboards, window casings, and custom trim aren’t just decorative—they’re transformative. These finishing details elevate any space, whether you’re renovating an older home or finishing a new one. Our experienced team works with homeowners across the North Shore to design and install molding and trim that complements each room’s character and enhances its overall aesthetic. From classic profiles to modern minimalism, Hammell Homes brings precision, style, and craftsmanship to every project.

We install crown molding, baseboards, door and window trim, wainscoting, chair rails, and more—customized to your style and layout.
Can you paint or stain the trim as part of the service?
Yes! We offer both painting and staining services to match your décor and finish preferences.
How long does installation typically take?
Most room-specific trim projects take 1–2 days, while full-home installations are usually completed within a week.
Do you help with design and material selection?
Absolutely. We’ll guide you through profiles, finishes, and materials that best suit your space and budget.

Homeowners Love Our Trim Work
“We had a great experiance with Hammell Homes. Rick’s team (contractors, tile installer, electrician and plumbers) were professional and easy to work with. Our bathroom turned out stellar. We selected artisan materials that can be challenging to install, and Hammell Homes understood what was required and everything went seamlessly. We’d work with them again.”
“Rick and his crew are amazing! We’ve had both bathroom and kitchen renovations done by them, and they worked diligently and did a beautiful job on both! We receive compliments all the time on our new kitchen. Rick is also very communicative throughout the entire renovation process. Would highly recommend Hammell Homes!”
