Doors and trim are the quiet details that make a home feel finished
Doors and trim are where older homes show their age — mismatched styles, yellowed paint, inconsistent profiles, and hardware from three different decades. We fix all of that with a simple, consistent approach:
One interior door style throughout the home
One trim profile for all windows and doors
One baseboard style and height
Satin finish for durability and a clean, modern look
Hardware that matches the home’s overall tone
This is how we create a cohesive, elevated feel without overcomplicating the design.

🚪 Interior Doors
We use a single door style across the entire home to create flow and consistency. Clean lines. Solid feel. Satin finish.
Our Standards
Solid‑core, pre‑hung doors only
1‑panel, 3‑panel, 4‑panel, or 5‑panel profiles
Modern, simple lines
Satin paint for durability
Consistent hardware finish
Hinges either painted to match the door or selected in a metallic finish (black, nickel, brass) that aligns with the home’s hardware package — this decision is made at the vision stage so the entire home reads as one cohesive system
This keeps every door feeling intentional, substantial, and aligned with the overall design direction.
🚪 Front Door (With Sidelight Options)
Your front door sets the tone for the entire home. We use a consistent, modern style across all flips — with the option for:
Clear glass
Flemish glass
And when the plan calls for it, we include a matching sidelight to bring in natural light and elevate curb appeal.
🔩 Door Hardware
Door hardware is a major design detail — and a major affiliate category — so it deserves its own section.
Our Standards
Modern lever handles
Matching hinges (painted or metallic)
Deadbolts that match the interior hardware finish
Satin nickel, matte black, or aged bronze depending on the home’s palette
📏 Trim & Baseboards
Trim is one of the easiest ways to modernize an older home — and one of the most overlooked.
Our Standards
1×4 or 1×6 straight‑edge trim
Clean, square profiles
Consistent reveal lines
Satin finish for durability
Baseboards
5¼" or 6" height depending on ceiling height
Straight, modern profile
Satin finish
🏠 Why This Matters
Doors and trim are the details buyers feel, even if they don’t consciously notice them. When everything matches — profiles, heights, hardware, sheen — the home feels intentional, elevated, and professionally finished.
This is one of the simplest ways to take a flip from “updated” to “refined.”.
