There’s a definite order to building a Parade house (or any house, for that matter.) This week’s visit to the Parade site found most of the builders in the middle of trim work. After oodles of wood is delivered to the home, the trim carpenters swoop in with their saws, caulking and nail guns to get down to business.
Trim carpenters are highly-detailed craftsmen and their work, which sometimes plays a subtle role and other times is the headliner, takes skill and experience. Some of the more basic work is trimming out the baseboards and doorways. Where you’ll really see their expertise is in the crown molding, around the fireplaces, in the detailed paneling of the formal dining rooms and studies, and in the built-in features.
When you visit the Parade later this summer, take special note of the trim work. And consider the hours of manpower and skill that went into the final product. For now, here’s a sneak peek!
