Home Remodeling: Home Remodeling: Window Trim - Repairing Wood Trim
Repairing Wood Trim
Wood trim often needs repairs and requires different techniques of restoration from those for walls or plaster surfaces. Wood, whether in the form of paneling, baseboard, or any other feature, tends to suffer from general wear-and-tear such as bumps, scrapes, and splits. Minor damage can be treated with the relevant filler, but more serious damage may require replacement sections of wood in order to restore the surface to an attractive finish.
