Architraves
Carpentry second fixing Perth: trims installed and painted by one team
Architraves, skirting boards, door frames and window trims. When the same team installs and paints the trims, the finish looks like a single piece of work. All Perth suburbs.
What is included
Carpentry and painting as one service
We install and paint your trims in one cohesive process. No handover between separate trades, no paint lines that do not quite meet the edge, no callbacks to fix what one tradesperson left for another.
- Architrave installation and replacement
- Skirting board installation and replacement
- Door frame repairs and installation
- Door hanging and adjustment
- Window trim and reveal fitting
- Built-in wardrobe trims and fittings
- Finish sanding, priming and painting of all trims
- Seamless integration with adjacent painted surfaces
The advantage
Why one team for carpentry and painting
One team, no coordination
Getting carpentry and painting from the same team means one point of contact and no gap between what the carpenter left and what the painter inherited. If something is not right, it gets resolved within the same job.
Paint lines that are actually straight
When we install and paint your trims, the edges are crisp because we control the whole process. There is no cutting in around someone else's work at an angle that was never quite square.
Colour that reads as one finish
We select the right sheen and colour for each trim element to sit properly with the surrounding walls. The result looks like a single piece of considered work, not two separate jobs joined together.

How we work
From assessment to finished coat
1
Assessment and quote
We measure up, assess the condition of existing trims and quote on all carpentry and painting work together. One quote, one fixed price.
2
Carpentry installation
New architraves, skirtings, door frames or trims are installed precisely. Joints are mitred, nail holes filled and all surfaces prepared for painting.
3
Prime and undercoat
All timber surfaces are primed and undercoated. This seals the wood, prevents tannin bleed and gives the topcoat a proper surface to bond to.
4
Top coat and finish
Semi-gloss or gloss topcoat applied to all trims. Cut-in lines are sharp and clean. The result looks like a factory finish on site.
Carpentry second fixing questions
Second fixing carpentry is the finishing carpentry work done after plastering: installing architraves around doors and windows, skirting boards along floors, door frames, doors and other finishing trims. It is called second fixing because it follows the structural first fixing done in the early construction phase.
Getting your carpentry and painting done by the same team means one point of contact, no trade coordination and a result that reads as one job. We install your trims and paint them in the same visit, ensuring perfect paint lines, consistent colour and a finish that looks deliberate, not assembled.
Yes. We can replace damaged, outdated or mismatched trims with new ones. We stock a range of common profiles and can source specific profiles to match heritage or contemporary styles. All new trims are primed, undercoated and top-coated as part of the job.
Yes. Door painting is a common add-on to carpentry and interior painting jobs. We can spray or brush-apply doors in your chosen colour and sheen, usually semi-gloss for durability and easy cleaning.
For architraves, skirtings, door frames and window reveals, we use a semi-gloss or gloss enamel finish. This is harder and more washable than the flat finish used on walls, and gives trims that crisp, defined look. We discuss your preferred finish during the quoting process.
Yes. Second fixing carpentry and painting are low-disruption activities. We work room by room, protect floors and furniture and clean up each day. Most jobs are completed without significant disruption to your routine.
