Crown isn't just for Kings and Queens!

Crown isn't just for Kings and Queens!

Step 1: Hire a good helper- see him there on the right?

Step 2:   Once you layout your crown, cut and cope your crown

Step 3:  Install your crown

 

Step 5  Install the crown so the existing piece is nailed in the corner after you have the new piece fitted tight with the coped edge.

Step 6   Fill and caulk the crown. When caulking, use an elastomeric caulk like I do. It allows for movement without cracking.

Step 7 Paint with a high quality no VOC semi-gloss paint, like Lifemaster from Glidden.

This project to install crown in 1 room, 4 walls, took me 30 minutes alone. Not including set-up and tear-down time for all equipment.

Budgeting: Expect to spend $6 to $7 a lineal foot for crown installation done correctly.

If you are looking to add something to your home, Crown is the way to go. Looking to sell? As far as inexpensive updates, installing crown molding and painting give you the biggest return on investment behind replacing your front door. Front doors are what I will talk about in my next post!
