FAQ’s

To calculate linear feet for millwork, measure the total length of the trim, molding, or other wood pieces in feet. Linear feet refer only to length, not width or thickness. For example, if you are using crown molding, measure around the room. If the room is 12 feet long and 10 feet wide, the total linear feet of molding would be 12 + 10 + 12 + 10 = 44 feet. Add about 10% extra to the total to cover mistakes or cuts. This ensures you have enough material. Our millwork cost estimators utilize the following formula to calculate it precisely.

Total Trim Needed = (Length of Walls + Perimeter of Openings) x Waste Factor

Millwork and cabinetry are two different types of woodwork. Millwork is a custom wood product for trim, moldings, doors, and window frames. It is about designs and decorations. Cabinetry refers to built-in furniture pieces, which may include kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. While cabinetry is more into storage and functionality, millwork is more about aesthetics.

There is millwork, and then there is molding. In simple terms, millwork encompasses all custom wood pieces from an all-house door to a window frame to a stairway; molding is a subset, generally meaning a type of decorative molding added along the edges of the walls or ceilings. Usually, it forms part of a much larger millwork project, but not all millwork is accompanied by molding.

To estimate trim for millwork, measure the total length of all the edges and corners in the area. For example, for crown molding or baseboards, measure the perimeter of the space. To allow for any potential missteps or waste, consider including an extra 10%. Trim is often sold by linear foot, so this gives you the cost of the material. Opting for more detailed trim means additional materials and labor, but the end product’s elegance and durability make it a worthwhile investment.

A millwork detail is a drawing that shows the exact design and measurements for custom wood pieces. It might include the size of crown molding, the style of door frames, or the type of wood for baseboards. Millwork details are important because they guide the manufacturer or contractor in making the wood parts correctly.

Common woods used in millwork include oak, pine, maple, cherry, and walnut. Oak is strong and used for trim. Pine is affordable and easy to work with. Maple is smooth and often used for high-end projects. Cherry is valued for its rich color, often used in custom furniture. Walnut is a luxury wood, known for its dark color and beauty. The type of wood affects both cost and look.

Millwork and casework estimating are different. Millwork includes custom wood details like moldings, doors, and window frames. It focuses on design and decoration. Casework is about built-in units, like cabinets or counters. Casework is more about function and storage. When estimating millwork, you measure decorative wood parts. For casework, you plan for practical, functional units. Both require careful measurements, but casework is more focused on structure and storage needs.

Millwork is wood used in buildings, like doors, windows, trim, and cabinets. The thickness of millwork can vary. Trim and moldings are usually 3/4 inch thick. Interior doors are 1.375 inches thick. Exterior doors are 1.75 inches thick. Cabinets are made from wood or MDF. They are usually 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Sometimes thicker wood is used for strength or style. The thickness depends on the wood, design, and building codes. In California, millwork must meet strict rules for energy and the environment.
