Georgia’s hot, humid summers can take a toll on your home’s interior trim. If you’ve noticed gaps or separation between your baseboards, crown molding, or other trim, you’re not alone. At Georgia Home Finishes LLC, we help homeowners throughout the Metro Atlanta Area and Northwest Georgia restore their trim to a flawless finish—fast and affordably.
Why Does Trim Separation Happen?
Extreme temperature changes and high humidity cause wood to expand and contract. Over time, this movement can lead to visible gaps where trim meets walls, ceilings, or other trim pieces. Georgia’s climate makes this a common issue, especially in older homes or those with shifting foundations.
How to Fix Trim Separation Quickly
1. Clean the Area: Remove dust and debris from the gap using a vacuum or brush.
2. Apply Caulk: Use a high-quality, paintable caulk to fill the gap. Smooth it with a damp finger or caulk tool for a seamless finish.
3. Touch Up Paint: Once the caulk is dry, touch up the area with matching paint for a flawless look.
4. Inspect for Recurring Issues: If gaps keep reappearing, it may be a sign of larger structural or moisture problems—consider a professional inspection.
