Step 9 is when many of your home’s interior elements start coming together. As you eagerly look on, Generation Homes’ team of talented local tradesmen will fit all of the internal doors and interior finishings.

Interior finishings refer to the interior exposed surfaces of a home, such as wood, plaster and brink, or applied materials such as paint and wallpaper. These items are used to improve the service and decorative qualities of your home. Some commonly used terms include:

• Casing – This is primarily used around doors and windows covering the gap between the drywall and the door or window fame.
• Baseboard – The baseboard works in harmony with casing to finish and tie a room together
• Architrave – a form of trim used to accent the top of a doorway, window or opening.
• Crown moulding – A moulding designed to sit at an angle between the wall and ceiling. It has many uses and can be integrated as part of the mantel on a fireplace.
• Chair rail – Is a practical and decorative trim applied to a wall (approximately 24 to 72 inches up from the floor).
• Panel mould – A variety of moulding profiles most often used to create or embellish panels on either flat or recessed surfaces.
