Exterior moldings and decorative trim are what make historical homes so interesting compared to newer construction. While you may not be interested in anything as elaborate as often seen on Victorian era homes such as the 1884-5 Lapham-Patterson House shown in the photo, any home could benefit from having decorative moldings added.
Did you know that any exterior architectural moldings, decorative trim or elaborate turned spindles and railings can be matched? Whether you are restoring a home, remodeling a building, or just want to create a similar style on a new house we would be happy to assist you.
We can match the specific styles and cuts of any existing moldings and decorative trim and even the original wood species. We have access to genuine Mahogany, deadhead sinker cypress, antique fumed white oak, reclaimed heart pine and reclaimed lumbers of all types.
We also offer a new ecofriendly treated lumber known as TimberSIL that is so rot proof and virtually fireproof that we offer a 40 year no rot warranty. It qualifies for LEED credits and is perfect for outdoor uses such as wood siding, patios, porches, railings and exterior shutters.

TYPES OF EXTERIOR MOLDINGS:
Brick mold: a molding used around a door or window that fills the gap between the door or window and the wall.
Rake mold also know as Shingle Molding: “Shingle molding is used to provide additional detail to the fascia on homes. It is installed at the top of the fascia board, butting the bottom of the shingles–hence, the name. It is also commonly known as “rake molding” because it is typically installed only along the rake, or sloped, fascia on the gabled ends of homes.” (Definition from How to Cut Shingle Molding.) Exterior crown molding; Often added as a solid band just under the eave of the roof but also seen on the exteriors of older businesses. Bed molding: A narrow molding used at the junction of a wall and ceiling. More Types of Exterior Molding

What a nice upgrade! Great designing of exterior moldings. Are these are more expensive than simple moldings?
This moulding is great stuff – true artistic effort – maybe they are more expensive from other types.

What a beautiful house! Exterior molding is really great. I just wonder how much does it cost to have such a beautiful house.

I am totally in love with spindles and trims, it gives a room or a house a old world charm, and it always reminds me of a kid’s playhouse.
