How much would it cost to trim a two story 3000 square foot home?

Question

includes 26 windows, screened in porch, one huge bay and one huge dormer window

Answer 1

Depends on many things, such as type and profile of the trim. Is it primed from the factory or will it stain and seal?

You did not mention basemold,crownmolding,interior doors?

I can help somewhat but you have to get the lineal footage and count doors,etc.

For a good trim carpenter allow $35 hr. which includes the tools he/she needs to cut and install the trim.

Doors 2hrs. ea. / windows 2hrs. each + 1hr. for extension jambs if needed each. Basemold 40' per hour, crownmolding 30' per  hour for 1 pc. crown, 15' per hour for 2pc.

* Some windows you need to install extension jambs, these are the side pc. of wood that cover the side framing. If this is needed a lot of the time they have to be ran through a table saw and then sanded to make them look right.

Answer 2

Is this interior or exterior trim ?  (Interior) Pending on the type of wood trim being used as low as $1.75 per linear foot, to custom trim that could run $25.00 per foot. the average is about $2.50 - $3.50 per foot for your basic casing and base board.

Exterior is running about $ 3.00 - $6.00 per foot If you are talking about a V.C.A. wrap.  need more info for a better answer, e-mail me at [e-mail]
