Door & Window Trim Installation Services Melbourne
It is often the small details that make the biggest difference in a home. At Dream Line Decor, we specialize in professional Door and Window Trim Installation (Finish Carpentry) across Melbourne. Whether you are renovating a heritage home or finishing a modern build, crisp architraves and stylish skirting boards are essential for a polished look.
We don't just "nail wood to the wall." We focus on precision. From perfect 45-degree mitre joints to seamless gap filling, our expert carpenters ensure your trims frame your room beautifully and stand the test of time.
Architraves, Skirting & Mouldings
We supply and install a wide range of timber and MDF mouldings to suit any interior style.
Skirting Board Installation
Skirting boards (baseboards) do more than just protect your walls from scuffs; they define the room’s border. We install everything from sleek modern profiles to high Victorian skirting, ensuring a tight fit against your floors—whether tile, timber, or carpet.
Door & Window Architraves
Architraves frame your views and doorways. We replace outdated or damaged trims with fresh new designs. Our installation ensures square corners and seamless transitions between the wall and the door jamb.
Window Sills & Nosing
We install durable and aesthetic window sills (stools) and aprons. A well-fitted sill not only looks great but provides a practical ledge and finishes off the window reveal perfectly.
Rot Repair & Replacement
Melbourne’s weather can be harsh. We carefully remove rotten external timber trims and internal water-damaged skirtings, treating the area and installing new, primed materials to restore your home’s integrity.

Door and Window Trim Melbourne FAQ
How much does skirting board installation cost?
It is usually calculated per linear meter. Costs depend on the height of the board, the material (MDF vs Timber), and the complexity of the installation. Contact us for a quote.
Should I install flooring or skirting boards first?
Flooring first! Skirting boards should be installed after your timber or laminate flooring to cover the expansion gap. If you are laying carpet, we can install skirting first, but leaving a small gap is recommended.
MDF vs. Timber: Which is better?
For painted finishes, MR-MDF (Moisture Resistant) is best because it’s knot-free and smooth. For stained/natural looks or high-impact areas, Pine or Hardwood is better.
Do you paint the trims as well?
Yes! We are a full-service company. We can install the raw materials and then have our professional painters prime and topcoat them for a flawless finish.
Can you match my existing old skirtings?
Yes. In many heritage Melbourne homes, profiles are unique. We can source specific replica profiles or have them custom machined to match your existing architraves.
Do you fix "Gap" issues?
Yes. Walls are rarely perfectly straight. We use “Gap Filler” (caulk) along the top edge of the skirting to hide any gaps against the plaster wall.
How long does it take to trim a house?
An average 3-bedroom house usually takes 1-2 days for installation, plus time for painting.
What is a "Scribed" joint?
In internal corners, instead of a 45-degree cut (which can open up), we often “scribe” the joint (cut the profile shape into the wood) for a tighter, professional fit.
Can you replace trims without damaging the wall?
We take great care using specialized pry bars. However, minor plaster touch-ups are sometimes required, which we can fix.
Do you dispose of the old wood?
Yes, we can remove and dispose of your old skirting boards and architraves for a small fee.
