The lines that make a custom home.

Custom homes now ask drywall to do what trim used to: a shadow reveal where a wall meets the ceiling, a door jamb with no casing, a can light that sits flush in the plane. Each one only looks effortless when it is set dead straight.

We install Fry reglet reveals, kerf board for curved walls, and corner bead on arches, so openings and curves read as clean as the flat walls around them.

What this includes

Trimless door jambs

Corner bead and metal work

How the work goes

From the first look to the last coat.

Plan the lines
Reveals, arches and niches are set out from the drawings, with the trades around them, before the walls close in.
Frame the shape
Openings and curves framed true; on a curve the track is cut and bent to the radius.
Bead and board
Reveal bead where a shadow line runs, archway bead on curved edges, flexible board round the curves.
Finish to the line
Every edge finished straight and crisp, ready for paint.

What we provide

Everything the work covers.

Custom shadow reveals
A recessed line where a wall meets the ceiling or floor in place of trim: a clean shadow instead of a molding.
Fry Reglet installation
Fry Reglet’s architectural reveal and trim profiles, set into the board and finished in.
Trimless door jambs
Door frames finished flush with the wall, with no casing round the opening.
Mud-in can lights
Recessed light trims set into the board and finished flush, so only the opening shows.
Arches and curved walls
Openings and walls built on a curve, with kerfed or flexible board and archway bead.
Corner bead and metal work
Bead and metal trims that give every edge and opening a straight, durable line.

Questions

Good to know.

Plain answers about custom details. For anything else, call (323) 440-0395.

A shadow reveal is a narrow, recessed gap, often where a wall meets the ceiling or floor, that replaces trim with a clean line of shadow. Fry reglet is a common family of metal reveal profiles used to form it.

Yes. Kerf work and corner bead are part of our service list; arches and curved walls are framed, boarded and finished like any other wall, with the same care for the edge.

A door frame set so the wall finishes straight into it, with no casing round the opening: wall and door meet in one clean line.

Yes. Mud-in can lights are on our list: the light’s trim is set into the board and finished flush, so only the opening shows.
