A sample of recent trim and millwork — crown, wainscot, ceilings, and built-ins across metro Atlanta.
What we trim
Every profile has a job.
Trim is the line where rough framing becomes a finished room. These are the details we run most — drawn here as their cross-section profiles.
Crown & Cornice
Single-piece or stacked built-up crown, coped at every inside corner.
◷ 3" – 9" projection
Door & Window Casing
Clean reveals, mitered or plinth-and-rosette traditional details.
◷ 3/16" reveal
Wainscoting & Paneling
Raised, flat, or board-and-batten — laid out to land symmetrical.
◷ Layout to center
Coffered Ceilings
Box beams and grids that make ceiling height feel intentional.
◷ 6" – 8" beams
Built-ins & Shelving
Bookcases, benches, mudrooms, and surrounds, scribed to the wall.
◷ Custom millwork
Baseboard & Base
Tall base with cap and shoe, returned and coped to disappear.
◷ 5-1/4" – 7"
Bigger than trim? We carry the whole job.
Saw Horse is a licensed, insured general contractor. Remodels, additions, and full build-outs — same crew that obsesses over the trim runs the project.
How a job runs
Measure twice. Then measure again.
No mystery, no runaround. Three stages, and you know what's happening at each one.
STAGE 01
Walk & quote
We walk the space, talk through the look you're after, take real measurements, and send a clear written estimate — line by line, no padding.
STAGE 02
Mill & fit
Stock is selected and acclimated, profiles are confirmed, and pieces are cut and dry-fit on site. Nothing gets fastened until the reveals are right.
STAGE 03
Finish & walk
Caulked, filled, sanded, and sprayed or hand-finished. We do a final walkthrough together and don't call it done until you do.
In the shop
The carpenter
A one-crew shop, on purpose.
When you hire Saw Horse, the person who quotes the job is the person holding the coping saw.
Saw Horse Carpentry started the way most good shops do — one carpenter who got tired of watching corners get cut on the part of the job that everybody actually sees. Trim is the finish line. It's the casing your hand touches, the crown your eye follows, the built-in that makes a room feel like it was designed instead of assembled.
We keep the crew small so the standard stays high. Every miter, every scribe, every reveal gets the same attention whether it's a powder room or a great room.
