Affordable Home Repairs, Inc. 30 years carpentry experience. Self-employed doing home improvement work since July, 1992. Winfield resident, married, with 3 grown children. Specializing in all carpentry-related trim work, basements, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, door and window installation, drywall installation and other home improvement needs.
"Affordable Home Repairs-Sam Cannella Do not hire this contractor. His work is good but his personality is very unprofessional. He belittled me, made me feel stupid and incompetent, complained about everything, only worked 3-4 hours a day and overcharged. An example of his personality . His van leaks oil. He asked me to lay down cardboard in my driveway so his van did not leak oil on the driveway- which was thoughtful. However, one day I did not put the cardboard exactly right. He got of his van and hit his fist twice on the side of his van. It was not my responsibility as a customer to provide cardboard for the van. He should have brought the cardboard with him and put in the spot he wanted. He complained I did not have beverages on hand for him. Not my responsibility to provide beverage to contractors. Told me that he was using his tools to complete my projects. Every contractor I have hired has always provided their own tools. That is part of the job. Not sure why he even made the comment. He also told said and I quote Well knowing you, you do not care how things look. First of all that is not a comment you make to a customer. Second, I would not be trying to fixing up the house if I did not care how things looked. Sam is honest and supplied me with his tax number. He agreed to replace the ceiling fan he had installed (because it was wobbly) with a ceiling light. I told him I would pay for the light if he would install for free. When I l left a text message (because I wanted in writing) to state I had purchased the light and I wanted to confirm I was not going to be charged. Sam replied (actual statement) Why do you feel the need to remind me on things?? Do you think I just started yesterday? Being a single lady, I have used contractors for over 20 years and have never had a problem with one until Sam. My other contractors always treated me with respect; in fact, several of them have become friends. I am nervous about posting this review that Sam will vandalize the outside of my house. If I have any damage, he will be the first one I suspect."

Yes, you can install trim on a crooked wall, which is a common issue in older homes. Professionals have the skills to adjust trim to uneven surfaces, ensuring a seamless look. However, installing trim on a crooked wall requires additional time and expertise, which may increase your labor and finishing costs.
Trim covers every finishing element used around doors and windows and where walls meet floors or ceilings. Molding is a decorative subset of trim designed to enhance a space's aesthetic. In addition, trim includes elements such as baseboards, door casings, and floor transitions, while molding focuses exclusively on ornamental details. All molding is part of trim, but not all trim qualifies as molding.
The time it takes to trim a house depends on the project's size and complexity. Finish carpenters install trim at a rate of about 20 linear feet per hour. Therefore, trimming a house that requires 125 linear feet of trim would take around 6.25 hours. However, factors such as intricate trim designs, the number of rooms, and any custom work can extend the installation time significantly.
