When it comes to selling your home, first impressions matter, and custom millwork can make all the difference. At ProMillwork, located in Montgomery, IL, we specialize in handcrafted mouldings, trim, and wood beams that not only enhance the beauty of your home but also increase its market value.
Serving the Chicagoland area, we know what today’s buyers are looking for and how to give your property a competitive edge. Adding millwork features like trim, baseboards, molding, doors, and wall paneling can make a difference in the eyes of a buyer and an appraiser.
What Is Custom Millwork?
Custom millwork refers to tailored wood elements such as crown moulding, baseboards, wainscoting, beams, custom door and window casings, and built-ins. These features are crafted to match the character of your home and can be customized to suit any style from modern minimalism to timeless traditional.
1. Enhances Curb Appeal & First Impressions
When buyers walk into a home with detailed trim work and thoughtful design, it immediately sets the tone. Elements like crown molding in the entryway or a coffered ceiling in the dining room indicate that the home has been well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded.
2. Makes the Home Feel Custom—Not Cookie Cutter
In a housing market flooded with builder-grade finishes, homes with custom millwork stand out. Whether it’s a shiplap accent wall, custom stair railings, custom wood beams, or a fireplace mantle built just for your space, these unique touches elevate your home’s personality and perceived value.
3. Adds Functional Beauty
Custom-built-ins such as bookshelves, mudroom storage, and window seats offer both aesthetic appeal and practical use. Buyers appreciate homes that are move-in ready with smart storage solutions already in place.
4. Increases Appraisal Value
Professional-quality millwork can raise your home’s appraised value. Upgraded trim work, doors, and cabinetry often fall under the category of home improvements, which appraisers take into consideration when determining a property’s worth.
5. Makes Your Home More Memorable
In a crowded real estate market, memorable details sell homes. A feature wall with decorative panel moulding or a custom-designed kitchen island can be the one thing a potential buyer remembers long after touring multiple properties.
