FAQ
Do you install crown moulding on uneven walls or tricky angles?
Yes. Many homes have out-of-square corners or uneven ceilings. We plan the layout and use proven techniques to keep corners clean and transitions tight.
Is painting included?
Painting can be included as an option (“install + paint”). Some projects are install-only if the homeowner plans to paint later. We’ll confirm scope during the estimate.
Are materials included?
No. Moulding, MDF/wood, and specialty trim items are selected separately. We can recommend what to buy or install homeowner-supplied materials.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. After an on-site walkthrough, we provide a clear scope and labor proposal.
