The balance
Too little prep leaves chips, ridges, and tired edges. Too much aggressive sanding can flatten the detail that made the trim worth keeping.
Interiors
Painting older trim without losing the character.
Older trim gives a room its rhythm. The goal is not to erase every sign of age. The goal is to clean the lines, repair what needs repair, and leave the room feeling cared for rather than plastic.

Open joints, old drips, brittle caulk, glossy buildup, water marks, and areas where previous coats were rushed.
