Door Casing Installation Services in Idaho
Door casings do more than frame an entry—they tie a room together. Whether you’re finishing up a remodel or replacing damaged trim, properly installed casings are one of those small details that make a space look complete. At Urban Edge Construction, we handle door casing installation with a focus on durability, fit, and clean lines.
The door casing is the trim that surrounds a doorway. It covers the gap between the door frame and the wall, creating a finished look and helping block drafts or light leaks. The casing comes in a range of profiles, from simple and flat to more decorative styles. The right choice depends on your space, your goals, and the look you’re going for.
Why Replace or Install New Door Casings?
- Older trim showing wear – If your existing casings are cracked, warped, or poorly installed, new ones can clean things up without a full remodel.
- New construction or remodels – Finishing out a newly built space? Casings are a necessary step that shouldn’t be rushed.
- Updated interior design – Switching to a more modern or consistent trim style across your home can change the overall feel of a space without major renovation.
What You Get with Our Door Casing Installation
We don’t rush through trim work. Each casing is cut, fit, and installed so the joints are tight, the lines are straight, and everything sits flush. Our crew works with wood, MDF, and composite materials, and we’re comfortable with both standard and custom profiles. Whether you need matching casings throughout your house or just a few doors updated, we’ll handle the cuts and corners properly.
We’ll also handle:
- Accurate measuring and layout
- Clean removal of old trim if needed
- Consistent mitered corners and joints
- Caulking and nail hole filling (ready for paint)
- Recommendations on casing styles if you’re unsure
Common Trim Styles We Work With
There’s no one-size-fits-all with trim. Some people prefer a square profile with a tight, modern look. Others go for a colonial or more detailed profile. Here are a few we regularly install:
- Flat Stock (1×4 or 1×3) – Clean lines, good for modern or transitional homes
- Colonial – Traditional profile, works well with older homes or detailed interior designs
- Craftsman – Slightly wider with a layered look
- Ranch – A curved, softer profile often used in mid-century homes
If you’re matching existing trim or switching to something new, we’ll make sure it lines up with your baseboards and the overall style of your space.

FAQs
The frame is the structural part that holds the door in place. The casing is the trim that covers the gap between the frame and the wall—it’s for appearance, not support.
Yes. In most cases, the door can stay in place during installation. We work around it, so there’s no need to remove the door unless it’s damaged or poorly aligned.
Typically, yes. Interior doors get casing on both sides for a finished look. Exterior doors may only have casing inside, depending on how the exterior trim is handled.
Yes, but some adjustments are needed. We can scribe or shim casings to deal with uneven walls so they sit flush and don’t leave gaps along the edge.
