Why us

Thirty years of doing it right.

Rhode Island is full of older homes where nothing is square and the original trim does not match anything you can buy today. Denis has spent three decades working on exactly these houses. That means new work that lines up with what is already there instead of fighting it — and honest advice about what is worth repairing versus replacing.

What this work includes

  • Interior trim and crown molding
  • Custom built-ins and shelving
  • Door and casing installation
  • Wainscoting and wall paneling
  • Historic trim repair and matching
  • Stairs, railings, and mantels

“Shining Armor was quickly available, did a great job, and was very affordable. There was never a problem when we would make a change or addition to our “to do” list.”
