Algonquin specifics: Trim work in Algonquin has to respect the era: builder subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s spread west of the Fox River, and mixing a modern colonial profile into a mid-century room is what makes DIY trim look off. Since truss uplift and normal settling show up as predictable seasonal movement in the newer two-stories, corners get coped and scribed to the walls as they actually are, not as the level wishes they were. Trim and carpentry calls have come in from the older east side near the river to the newer neighborhoods off Randall Road lately.

Yes — I can match most standard trim profiles. For very old or custom profiles, I'll let you know if an exact match is possible or if a close alternative makes more sense.
A standard 12-foot wall takes about 5-7 hours including prep, installation, and priming.
