Measurements
What should I measure first?
Start with the width, height and depth of the opening. Take a wide photo that includes nearby doors, trim and outlets.

Homeowner questions
Before you bring an idea to the workbench.
Materials
Can you match existing trim?
A close-up of the profile and a view of the whole room help identify the shape, wood and finish to match.
Estimates
Can I group several repairs?
List them by room and include photos. This helps us plan access and see which jobs use the same materials.

Start wide. Then show the detail.
Stand far enough back to show the whole wall or deck, including the nearest entrance. Next, take a close-up of the damaged section, trim profile or finish you want to match.
For the third image, a sketch with rough dimensions is often more useful than another angle of the same spot. The estimate form accepts up to three images.
