Trim That Finishes the Ceiling Line
Crown molding installation completed in Triangle area by local carpenters.
When the top of your walls in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or the surrounding Triangle area meet the ceiling without trim, the transition can look unfinished or highlight uneven plaster or drywall joints. Crown molding covers that seam with a shaped trim piece that runs along the ceiling line, giving the room a finished look and hiding imperfections where the wall and ceiling meet. You get a clean, continuous line that draws the eye upward and makes the room feel more complete.
Artistic Furniture Creations & Carpentry, LLC installs crown molding using quality lumber and hardware, cutting each piece to fit the corners and angles of your room. The molding is nailed or fastened to the wall and ceiling, then caulked and painted or stained to match your trim. A warranty is included depending on the project, and the work is completed by local craftsmen who stand behind what they install.

How the Molding Is Cut and Installed
The process begins with measuring the walls and ceiling in your Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or Triangle area home and cutting the molding to fit each corner with mitered or coped joints. You choose the profile and width of the molding, and the crew uses a miter saw to cut precise angles for inside and outside corners. The molding is then fastened to the wall and ceiling using finish nails or adhesive, and all seams are caulked to create a smooth, continuous line.
After installation, you will see a clean transition between the wall and ceiling, corners that meet tightly without gaps, and a trim line that follows the shape of the room without dips or bulges. The molding will hide uneven drywall seams and give the room a finished appearance that matches your baseboards or door trim.
Installation includes filling nail holes, caulking seams, and priming or painting the molding if requested. The crew removes sawdust and debris before leaving. This service does not include repainting entire walls or repairing damaged drywall above the ceiling line, but it does include installing trim that is ready to be painted or stained to match your existing finishes.
What you should know before scheduling installation
Homeowners typically ask about molding styles, how corners are joined, and whether the trim will be painted or primed.
What styles of crown molding are available?
You can choose from a range of profiles, from simple angled trim to more detailed styles with curves and steps. The crew will show you options and help you select a profile that matches the style of your home in the Triangle area.
How are the corners joined?
Inside corners are usually coped for a tight fit, and outside corners are mitered at a 45-degree angle. The crew cuts each piece to fit the specific angles of your walls and ceiling.
Will the molding be painted or stained?
The molding can be primed and painted to match your walls or stained to match wood trim. You decide on the finish, and the crew will prep the molding accordingly before or after installation.
How is the molding attached to the wall and ceiling?
The molding is fastened using finish nails driven into wall studs and ceiling joists, with adhesive added for extra hold. All nail holes are filled and sanded smooth before painting or staining.
What does the warranty cover?
The warranty depends on your project and covers defects in materials or installation. Artistic Furniture Creations & Carpentry, LLC stands behind the work and will address any issues that come up after the molding is installed.
