Baseboards, crown molding, window and door casings—together, interior trim is the finishing touch that turns framing into a polished living space. Yet for many homeowners and contractors, estimating trim installation cost accurately is a persistent challenge. CountBricks bridges that gap with AI-powered, real-time data so you can quote faster, build smarter, and protect your margins.
Nationwide averages for residential trim installation hover between $6 and $15 per linear foot, but relying on an average can sink a job before it starts. Local labor rates, material choice, architectural complexity, and finish quality each add variables that push costs up or down. CountBricks captures these factors in seconds through voice-guided walkthroughs and live material pricing feeds.
• Material type: MDF, pine, oak, PVC, and hardwoods all price differently
• Profile complexity: Simple one-piece baseboards vs. stacked crown assemblies
• Linear footage: More lineal feet equals higher material and labor totals
• Prep work: Demolition, shimming, or surface repairs before trim goes on
• Finish level: Paint-ready, stain-grade, or specialty coatings
• Site conditions: Occupied homes, high ceilings, or tight schedules
