Trim and built-ins done right in Perinton
From the big colonials near Turk Hill to the older canal-side houses, we build stairs, trim, and storage that fit the house.
Perinton’s a mix. You’ve got the big 1980s-2000s colonials off Turk Hill and Ayrault with three-car garages and wide open basements, and you’ve got older places on the west end near the canal with tighter rooms and different bones. Both bring carpentry work our way, mudroom benches, basement storage, stair rail updates, trim that needs to match what’s already there.
Most of the colonials going up since the 1980s off Rt 31 and Baird use standard builder-grade trim and hollow-core doors, fine to work with but often installed fast, so corners and joints aren’t always square. The wide open basements common to these houses are usually unfinished, which means built-ins have to work around sump pits, ductwork, and support posts nobody planned for. The older canal-side houses run smaller rooms with different framing, so measurements from one part of the house rarely carry over to another.
What’s included
- Install or replace baseboard, casing, and crown throughout a house
- Hang and trim interior doors to match existing openings
- Build stair rail systems for open-concept colonial floor plans
- Frame and finish mudroom benches off three-car garage entries
- Design closet and shelving systems for basement storage rooms
- Match older profiles in canal-side homes on the west end
Notes on carpentry work in Perinton
The common mistake is trimming out a mudroom or basement build-out without checking what the builder actually did behind the drywall in these colonials. Rt 250 and Turk Hill area houses often have HVAC runs or low headers hidden in spots you’d expect open studs. We check what’s there before we cut anything, so the bench, the closet, or the rail post lands somewhere solid instead of fighting a duct or a beam halfway through the job.
One crew handles the job start to finish, no subs coming and going. We show up when we say, keep the site clean, and finish trim and casing so it matches what’s already in the house. Price gets worked out before anything starts, based on what your rooms actually need. Call and we’ll walk through the house, look at the stairs or the mudroom or whatever’s bothering you, and give you a straight number.
Notes for Perinton homeowners
From the big colonials near Turk Hill to the older canal-side houses, we build stairs, trim, and storage that fit the house.
- Perinton is unincorporated, but building permits for interior structural or stair work still run through the Town of Perinton building department.
- Canal-side lots on the west end can be tight, so material staging and dumpster placement need a plan before we start.
- The newer colonials off Rt 250 and Fairport-Nine Mile Point often have engineered floor systems, which changes how we anchor stair stringers and built-ins.
- A fair number of these three-car-garage colonials get rented out as families move through the Fairport school district, so we can work around tenant schedules if needed.

Perinton questions
Can you match trim in an older canal-side house on the west end?
Usually, yes. Older Perinton homes near the canal often have deeper casing profiles than the newer colonials. We take a sample, match the reveal and profile, and blend new work into old so it doesn’t look patched.
Do you handle the open basements in the newer colonials off Baird and Rt 250?
Yes. Those big open basements are a common built-in job, shelving, a bar area, storage walls. We frame around ductwork and posts that are already down there and build the storage to fit the space you have.
How long does a mudroom bench and closet build usually take?
Depends on the layout and whether we’re tying into existing trim, but most mudroom builds in the three-car-garage colonials run a handful of days once material is on site. We’ll give you a real timeline before we start.
