Our Process
1. Measure & Plan: We measure every wall, note the angles, and plan the layout so joints fall in the least visible spots.
2. Cut & Fit: We cut on-site with a miter saw for tight coped joints on inside corners and clean miters on outside corners.
3. Install: Nails into studs, adhesive where needed. We fill nail holes, caulk the top and bottom edges, and leave it paint-ready.
4. Cleanup: We vacuum and wipe down. You shouldn’t know we were there except for the beautiful trim.
Why Alpharetta Homeowners Call Us for Trim
Trim is all about the details. A 1/16-inch gap in a miter joint catches the eye every time you walk past. We take the time to cope inside corners (not just butt them), back-cut outside miters so they close tight, and scribe to uneven walls so there’s no shadow line.
We work in all home types — historic homes with plaster walls, new construction, condos, and townhouses. We handle full punch lists in usually a single visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does crown molding installation cost?
It depends on the room size, molding profile, and whether it’s paint-grade or stain-grade. Call (678) 549-8083 for a same-day estimate — we measure and give you a firm price before we start.
Do you paint the trim after installing?
We install paint-ready (filled and caulked). We can also paint it — we do interior painting too. Just ask for a combined quote.
Can you match existing trim in my home?
Yes. Bring a sample or we can take a profile from an existing piece. We match the profile as close as possible.
How long does it take?
Most single rooms take a day. Whole-house trim packages take 2-4 days depending on scope.
What Affects Trim Installation Cost in Alpharetta
Trim pricing depends on several factors specific to our area:
- Linear footage. The total length of walls being trimmed is the biggest cost driver. A single dining room costs far less than a whole first floor.
- Molding profile and size. Simple 3-inch baseboard costs less per foot than wide 7-inch colonial casing or elaborate multi-piece crown molding buildups.
- Paint-grade vs. stain-grade. Paint-grade MDF or poplar is budget-friendly and takes paint beautifully. Stain-grade hardwoods like oak cost more in both material and labor, since every joint must be perfect — there’s no caulk to hide behind.
- Room complexity. Rooms with many corners, angles, built-ins, or uneven walls (common in Alpharetta’s older homes) take more time to scribe and fit.
- Existing trim removal. Tearing out old trim and repairing the wall underneath adds labor; we quote it upfront.
- Painting. We leave trim paint-ready as standard; adding our interior painting service for a finished look is quoted separately.

Our Detailed Installation Process
Here’s what our craftsmen actually do on every trim job:
- Consultation and measurement. We discuss profiles, show samples, measure every wall, and check for uneven surfaces or out-of-square corners.
- Material selection. We help you choose between MDF, poplar, and hardwood based on your budget, the room’s use, and whether you’ll paint or stain.
- Precision cutting. Inside corners are coped (not just mitered) so joints stay tight as wood expands and contracts with Georgia’s humidity swings. Outside corners get back-cut miters that close without gaps.
- Installation. Pieces are nailed into studs (never just drywall), with construction adhesive on long runs to prevent movement. We scribe to wavy walls so there’s no shadow line.
- Finishing. Nail holes are filled, joints caulked, and edges sanded smooth — the trim leaves our hands ready for paint.
- Walkthrough and cleanup. We walk the room with you, check every joint in natural light, then vacuum and wipe down.
Keeping Your Trim Looking New
- Caulk lines: In Georgia’s humidity, caulk can shrink and crack over time. Check caulk lines yearly and touch up as needed — a tube of paintable caulk keeps trim looking crisp.
- Cleaning: Dust baseboards regularly; wipe with a damp cloth for scuffs. Avoid soaking MDF trim, which swells with excess water.
- Touch-up paint: Keep a small jar of your trim paint for nicks and scuffs. Satin and semi-gloss finishes touch up best.
- Humidity control: Big humidity swings cause wood trim to expand, contract, and open joints. Keeping indoor humidity stable (30–50%) minimizes movement.
- Inspect after settling: New homes settle in the first couple of years, which can open small gaps at trim joints. These are usually a quick caulk-and-touch-up fix.
