Does my Home Need Crown Molding?

No, it isn’t a fungus forming on the top of your head… crown molding is actually an elegant way to flare a wall or door out to a finished top edge in any room of your home. It’s generally used for capping walls, pilasters, and cabinets, and is commonly used in the creation of interior and exterior door and window hoods. It’s the perfect way to highlight the transition between the walls and ceiling and serves as an elegant form of decoration in any room. Albaugh and Sons is proud to offer custom crown molding as part of our list of interior carpentry services.

But Why Do I Need It?

Much like a picture needs a frame, your doorways and other aspects of your home need trim. Crown molding gives a profile to aspects of your home that draw the eye inward. It accentuates the elegant curves and distinguished angles of doorways, accent walls, and even your ceiling. It elevates a room’s stature, and creates a cohesive polished look for the entire space. Depending on your own personal style, you can accent your crown molding to your preference. Use simple artwork for a minimalist approach, or take a grander approach with lavish décor.

Do I Have to Use the Same Style?

This is a great question: does the crown molding have to be the same in every room of the house. If your ceiling is the same height throughout your home and the rooms are similarly proportioned, then matching your crown molding to each room could create a nice flow. However, if your ceiling height and room size are mismatched, then changing up styles of molding is a lovely way to make each room unique. It’s up to your personal style. Decide whether you want your home to be uniform or if you want specific rooms to stand out.

Is it Functional?

In some historic American homes, crown molding was originally used as a way to hang pictures. The walls in these homes were typically made from plaster, and people had a difficult time driving nails through them. Hence, crown molding was introduced as a way to decorate one’s home. A picture would have a long string or hanging wire attached to the back in order to hang from the high ceiling. Our walls now are much more nail-friendly, but crown molding still has a decorative function.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
