Trim Masters was established in March of 2000. I started the company as its only employee. I eventually hired my son who was very creative and picked up the trade very well. I've had several people work for me but some did not have the "eye" it takes to do a professional job. I am very meticulous in my work as I am my employees. We had a great year in 2014 completing many homes including another Parade Home in Jefferson Park. We are proud to be the trim installers for the 2013 and 2014 Symphony homes in Knoxville .We take pride in our work and in every customer we serve. We carry workers comp and general liability insurance which is available upon request.

Charlie is fantastic to work with! Very professional, punctual, and polite. He was easy to reach, and stayed in contact with me over a very busy multi-week schedule for both him and me (holidays) to get the work day confirmed and then the work completed. Charlie did a great job! So happy to have found Charlie! Will definitely call him again for future woodworking needs.
Description of Work: Charlie finished a hardwood stair remodel job that another company had messed up on and left unfinished. Charlie came in and knew what to do--installed handrail, trim work, iron balusters, sanded wood, etc. Very professional job. Very happy with work.

Very satisfied with the work performed, very professional, and work done to fit our schedule.
Description of Work: Trim Masters carefully removed the railing and balusters in our house so that hard wood floors could be installed on our second floor. After the hard wood floors were completed Trim Masters was able to reinstall the railing and balusters salvaging it without any damage and reinforcing the railing much more securely than how it originally was.

Great!
Description of Work: Charlie and his son Brandon worked on two projects for me. One was related to the exterior front door entryway and the other involved adding picture molding to the lower chair rail areas in my home. The first project: they completely rebuilt the entryway trim to my front door alcove which had been cladded by the builder in interior-grade wood paneling. As expected given the materials used by the builder, the paneling did not hold up well over the years to repeated water and sun exposure. Charlie recladded the entire area with a Certainteed PVC-type material (which is looks like wood but is impervious to the weather/sun damage) and then added decorative trim molding pieces to that area. He also built additional new trim moldings for the brick area adjacent to the alcove which frames and finishes the door alcove nicely. The end result is a much more grand and beautiful entryway area to my home. Charlie and I worked together closely on the design of the projects to make sure that we were on the same page and that the end product would be what I was expecting. He was eager to listen to my input and discuss issues/concerns with things as they came up. As previously mentioned, the second project involved adding picture molding to the lower chair rail areas of my kitchen, foyer, and along foyer stairwell. Charlie is highly skilled in determining beautiful proportions and detail in all the trim work they complete. He does not hurry through the process but takes time to think through just the "right" spacing and detail appropriate for the area. I am thoroughly pleased with all his work and plan to use him again on future projects in my home. The price above includes all materials and labor; painting, finish sanding, and caulking were not included in the price above.

Our house had a hideous staircase that Charlie turned into a showpiece. The staircase started out as a builder special, with dreary carpet, a mismatched and cheap-looking handrail, and a balcony rail that had become wobbly with age. Charlie replaced all the treads with oak and the risers with painted boards. He also installed a new oak handrail and a beautfiul, sturdy balcony rail. All of the woodworking is excellent, as I expected. More surprising was the quality of the finish. Charlie pre-finished all of the wood with paint or polyurethane and repainted our existing risers, sanding and smoothing out the latter in the process. He then applied a final coat after installation to make sure everything was pristine and smooth as glass. All business went flawlessly. Charlie showed up for the estimate on time, told us when he would be able to get to our job, and showed up to do the work exactly as promised. He was always cheerful and focused on customer satisfaction. Another thing I want to call Charlie out on is his pragmatism/cost-effectiveness. Despite the fact that our staircase was structurally sound, another carpenter had proposed ripping the whole thing out and rebuilding it from scratch, at much higher cost. Charlie was able to do a facelift while preserving the bones underneath, saving us a lot of money while delivering at least as good a result. Charlie is great, I recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Rebuilt staircaase, installed balcony rail.

Charlie came by to give a quote and his availability. He ordered the mouldings and handrails which were delivered to my home. When I stained them, Charlie was available within a few weeks (per his original estimate of availability). He and his associate showed up, ready for work, and finished the job in two days. Inside corners were excellently coped, outside corners excellently mitered. There were some areas in the house that required very precise fitting to existing mouldings, which he did very well. I've had experience with other trim carpenters who did not have very good skills and/or hid problems they encountered. Trim Masters was open about everything. Very pleased and would certainly use again.
Description of Work: Provide and install crown and base mouldings, provide and install handrails.

Excellent!!! Called Charlie, came out gave a price estimate and date. It was all done within the time frame discussed and on budget.
Description of Work: Outstanding job. The crown moulding in our master bedroom is gorgeous. No seams, that I can see anyway. Beautiful job. Also had pull-out pantry shelves built into our pantry. Really nice job. Could not have been any better. Charlie and his son, Brandon, were consummate professionals. Neat, both in keeping the project clean and in appearance.

The entire job went great from beginning to end. Charlie gave me an estimate, told me when he could do the work, called when he had the materials, came over and did the job. Charlie and Brian are very good at their job. . Even though the job required wood to be removed, replaced and repainted, there was no mess from beginning to end. Charlie and Brian were extremely neat. You cannot tell that the window sill or the baseboards have been replaced. They look just like the originals and the paint matches exactly. I am so happy.
Description of Work: My Boxer puppies ate one of the kitchen's wooden window sills and they ate a couple of the baseboards. Charlie and Brian removed all the damaged wood and replaced it with a new sill and baseboards. They also filled in all the nail holes and painted the sill and baseboards.

Working with Trim Masters was a great experience. They returned calls promptly, showed up when promised, and did excellent work for a very reasonable price. Would definitely use them again and refer them to friends.
Description of Work: Trim Masters performed multiple small woodworking jobs around my home including refurbishing and weatherproofing a badly worn front door. They recommended refurbishing rather than replacing the door since replacing would necessitate ordering a custom-sized door which would be much more expensive. They also made repairs to a fireplace mantle, added missing trim in the kitchen and a bath, and repaired a rotted window sill.

They removed the old staircase, ripping up the carpet and taking out the old stair treads. Then they started assembling the parts of the stairs. First adding the skirt boards, then one by one adding each stair treads. This process took 3 days. The finished product is truly amazing and we are very pleased. I look forward to using them in many other projects in the near future.
Description of Work: Charlie and his son Brandon created a beautiful red oak staircase in our home. They are TRUE professionals and take great pride in their work. The finished product was truly a masterpiece and exceeded our expectations. Every inch of my new staircase is perfect. I am one that notices everything and I could not see any imperfections. It was like a beautiful piece of furniture when it was all finished. Every cut was a perfect fit. They even went out of their way to add a piece of trim around the stairnose to add a finished look. I was very impressed! I highly recommend Trim Masters for those of you considering a new staircase.

The work went perfectly, they arrived on time with materials and equipment, started at the top floor of the house and worked toward the garage, taking home the door that needed carpentry work. They were efficient and completed the job is less days than estimated, therefore saving us money.
Description of Work: Charlie and his son tightened and repaired our staircase that had been poorly constructed when we built. Additionally, they repaired trim, reconstructed a door, and rehung doors that had been done badly. Then the nailed our and repaired approximately 3000 sq ft of tongue and groove ceiling that was loose. Finally, they recommended a painter to complete the jobs in the house that they could not do.

The shelves are level and very secure. Mr.Zimmer and Brandon were very careful in protecting our wood floors with a drop cloth and they did an excellent job cleaning up when they were done. They were very professional and nice. We would highly recommend them and would use them again in the future if we needed more trim work or carpentry.
Description of Work: We just moved into our new house and wanted shelves built in the pantry. I called Charlie Zimmer for and estimate. He made an appointment to come the next day. He arrived on time, took measurements and called that afternoon with the estimate. We agreed with the price and asked to setup a work date. Mr.Zimmer said he could purchase the boards and have them primed, sanded and painted the following day so that he could install them the day after that. He and his son, Brandon, arrived at our house at the scheduled time the day after the boards were ready and had 7 shelves, covering two walls, installed in about 4 hours.
