For the best interior carpentry job, follow these expert tips and advice for a professional-grade finish and long-lasting results:

• Use Spacer Blocks: Spacer blocks help keep a consistent gap around doors and windows so you achieve a uniform look despite any uneven walls. A standard reveal is about ⅛ of an inch, but the spacer blocks will give you a professional look that’s hard to achieve just by eyeing it.
• Pre-Scribe Baseboards: If you have irregular floors in an older home, you can use a scribing tool to mark the contour of the floor onto the baseboard before you cut it. This allows the baseboard to sit flush against the floor and eliminate any gaps by providing a tight fit.
• Pre-Drill: If you’re working with delicate trim or hardwoods, pre-drill the holes to prevent the nails from splitting and to keep the nail placement precise. This technique is better with dense woods or narrow trim pieces. Pre-drilling helps secure the wood so you can have a cleaner finish, and the nails can go straight into it.
