A few jobs from last month
Small jobs are most of what we do. Nothing here took longer than three days.
Rough out a trim job
Pick the trim, the room size and how many rooms. It is a ballpark from our 2026 prices; the visit gives you the exact number.
Rates assume primed MDF or pine with coped inside corners. Stain-grade oak or poplar runs about 40 percent more; we price it at the visit.

What neighbors say
4.9 average from 186 Google reviews. Three recent ones, unedited.
“We had 1990s builder baseboard in the whole downstairs. Wade quoted it by the foot on Tuesday and his crew had new 5¼ inch base in and painted by Friday. The corners are tight, there’s no caulk smeared on the floor, and they vacuumed twice.”
“Our back door wouldn’t latch after a summer of swelling. He planed it, moved the strike and it closes with one finger now. $129, in and out in an hour.”
“Board and batten in the dining room. He laid it out on paper first so the boards lined up with the window. Looks like it came with the house.”
One owner, two carpenters, one truck
I started Hollis Trim & Door in 2012 after nine years hanging doors for a home builder in Austin. I wanted to do the work the way I would want it done in my own house: measured twice, coped corners instead of mitered ones, nail holes filled before paint.
Today it is me, Andrés and Kayla. One of us answers the phone, and I am at every measuring visit. We keep the schedule short on purpose so small jobs never wait a month behind a big remodel.

Questions we hear a lot
Do you do small jobs, like one door?
Yes. A single door adjustment starts at $129, and the half-day visit ($340 flat) is made for punch lists: a loose stair tread, a closet rod, two doors that rub, a piece of rotted trim.
Do you supply the trim, or do I buy it?
We supply it. Our prices include primed pine or MDF from a local lumber yard. If you want stain-grade oak or poplar we quote it at the visit. You are welcome to supply your own; labor stays the same.
How dusty does it get?
We cut outside or in the garage when we can, run a vacuum on the saw, and put drop cloths down in every room we work in. Expect a little dust on nearby shelves, not a whole-house cleanup.
Will you paint the new trim?
We caulk, fill nail holes and give it two coats of semi-gloss for $1.75 per foot. Matching an existing wall color or doing the walls themselves we leave to a painter, and we can recommend two good ones.
How soon can you start?
Measuring visits are usually two to four days out. Most jobs start within ten days of the quote. Urgent doors that will not lock get squeezed in the same week.
How do I pay?
Card, check or Zelle when the job is done and you have walked through it. Jobs over $1,500 take a 30 percent deposit for materials.
