Can you repair drywall before painting?

Yes — drywall repair is one of our core custom services. We patch, tape, mud, and sand damaged areas smooth, prime them, then paint so the repair disappears completely.

Do you install wainscoting and trim, or just paint it?

Both. We measure, cut, and install wainscoting, baseboards, casings, and crown molding, then prime and finish them — one team accountable for the whole detail.

What kinds of custom builds do you do?

Built-in shelving, mantels, feature walls, and similar interior carpentry. If you have a specific idea, send it over — we'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit in your free consultation.

Should I do custom work before or with painting?

Together, ideally. Doing the carpentry and the finish with one team means consistent quality, one schedule, and a finish that matches across trim and walls. It's also more cost-effective than two separate contractors.

Is the warranty the same for custom services?

Yes. Custom services carry the same 3-month service warranty as our painting work, covering both the build and the finish.

What It Is

What custom services solves

The difference between a painted room and a finished room is in the details. Ayre Coat's custom services cover everything that surrounds a great paint job — drywall repair and installation, wainscoting and trim, and custom builds and designs. Because we handle both the carpentry and the finish work, your project has one accountable team from bare studs to the final coat.

Common problems we fix

Cracked, dented, or water-damaged drywall that needs real repair, not just paint over it
A room that feels flat and would be transformed by wainscoting or architectural trim
Missing or damaged baseboards, casings, and crown molding
A custom shelving, mantel, or built-in idea you can't find off the shelf
New drywall from a renovation or addition that needs taping, mudding, and finishing

Our Process

How we approach custom services

A clear, repeatable process tailored to this service — so you know what's happening at every step.

Consult & Design

We discuss what you want to achieve — a repair, a feature wall, custom trim — and your free style recommendation covers materials, proportions, and finish options that suit your home.

Build & Install

Drywall is patched, taped, and finished smooth. Wainscoting, trim, and custom builds are measured, cut, and installed with tight, clean joints — the structural and carpentry work done right.

Prep & Prime

New drywall gets proper primer; raw wood and MDF get sealed and primed so the topcoat adheres evenly. Joints and fasteners are sanded flush.

Finish & Warranty

We apply the final paint or stain, do a walk-through with you, and hand over your 3-month service warranty. The detail work and the finish are backed by one team.

Materials & Options

The right products for this work

We choose materials for the specific demands of this service — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tape, Mud & Drywall

We use joint compound and taping techniques matched to the repair — from small patch jobs to full-board installation and Level 4 and Level 5 finishes for a seamless wall.

MDF & Solid Wood Trim

Wainscoting, baseboards, casings, and crown come in primed MDF for crisp painted profiles or solid wood where a natural finish is wanted — chosen for the look and the room.

Custom Build Materials

Built-ins, mantels, shelving, and feature details are built from the right substrate for the job — MDF, plywood, or solid stock — then primed and finished to match your space.

Signs You Need This

When to call about custom services

If any of these sound familiar, it's probably time for a free quote.

There are visible cracks, holes, or water stains in your drywall

Your walls have texture or damage that paint alone won't hide

A room lacks architectural interest and would benefit from wainscoting or trim

Baseboards or door casings are damaged, missing, or mismatched

You want a custom built-in, mantel, or shelving unit you can't buy ready-made

You've opened up a wall or finished a basement and need new drywall installed

Pricing Honesty

How pricing works

No fake fixed numbers — just a transparent explanation of how your quote is built.

How custom services pricing works

Custom work is scoped per project because no two builds are alike. Drywall repairs are priced by area and damage level; wainscoting and trim by linear footage; custom builds by design and materials. You get an itemized free quote before anything starts.

Bundled with painting

Because we do the carpentry and the painting, bundling custom work with a repaint saves you coordinating two contractors — and the finish is guaranteed consistent across the whole project.

Included at no extra cost

Free style recommendation, free colour analysis, and your 3-month service warranty apply to custom services just as they do to painting. The quote you approve is the price you pay.
