About Howard & Why Our Work Lasts Here

Howard has grown from roughly 11,000 residents in 2000 to more than 20,000 today, and most of that growth came in the form of subdivision homes built in the 1990s and 2000s. Those homes are well built, but their interior finish details — thin baseboard, hollow door casing, no crown molding — reflect builder budgets, not homeowner taste. We’ve worked in Glendale and Howard Commons neighborhoods where young families are making those first meaningful upgrades: thicker baseboard, proper crown, board-and-batten in the dining room, and a mudroom built-in that actually solves the chaos of daily family life.

Wisconsin’s humidity swings matter even in newer construction. Howard’s homes are well insulated, but interior humidity still drops sharply in heating season, and builder-grade solid pine trim can show seasonal gaps within a few years. When we upgrade trim in Howard homes, we use paint-grade MDF for flat surfaces where dimensional stability matters most, and we leave proper expansion gaps and apply flexible caulk at all transitions — the same climate-aware approach we bring to every job in Northeast Wisconsin. The result is trim that looks tight in year one and still looks tight in year ten.
