Molding for Austin home â € "Adding the crowning touch
It is really amazing what difference the right mold may make a home. I was visiting my parentâ € ™ s home in Austin, a 1960â € ™ s brick home that has always had the appearance of good, the late 1960â € ™ s but this time inside the house looked new and up to date. At first I wasnâ € ™ t even sure what it was until my father pointed the crown molding he installed himself. That the small added touch with a fresh coat of paint is quickly passed their homes today. So Leta € ™ s see how your Austin home can benefit from molding and whether or not a do it yourself plans or custom installation is right for you.
Leta € ™ s start with the DIY people out there who is able to make a quick trip to your favorite hardware store, came to crown molding with some expensive tools and a weekend in addition This nice touch to your Austin home.
Step # 1 â € "ITA € ™ s all about the plan.
Start by taking careful measurements of the room (s) where you are adding your crown molding. ITA € ™ s always a good idea to take the measurements and then will add another 10% or so in number only to ensure sufficient and to make up for any little mistake you can make along the way.
Step # 2 â € "Troubleshooting
Wood needs to settle in and if you get used to the temperature and moisture of the place where it now spend the next several year. So lay all the molding in the room where it was installed for about 3 days. If you skip this step and go right to the installation will you with problems such as wood moves it gets adjusted to the new environment. So patience is the key to adding crown molding.
Step # 3 â € "Marking Line
Using a chalk line to mark your walls so that you now have a guide to keep straight and on the right path. This usually best to start with an area at least seen as behind a door from the beginning that area usually have at least finished look of the project. So do not € ™ t start the most - seeing place in the room.
Step # 4 â € "Making the Right cracks
Carefully measure the amount you need and then cut accordingly. You need to either use a miter saw for the sides to meet or, (and this is a great invention) Â you can go to a relatively new idea to cover the area called crown corner blocks. The blocks actually add a decorative feel while simultaneously covering the spot where the two pieces of molding come together. You can install them with a nail gun, liquid nails or even screws.
Step # 5 â € "Stick here.
Using a Caulking gun to apply adhesive to stick to the mold wall. Make sure to apply the glue to both above and below the backside of the mold. ITA € ™ sa good idea to then end up using finishing nails, just to make sure you have a secure application.
DIY project is adding molding to your Austin home could do with moderate talent handyman especially using crown corner blocks that you need a perfect cut. But if you're like most people and may feel a little intimidated by this project after all means a professional to do the job for you. For those home improvement business is an easy job to have many takers, just be careful in choosing the right one asking for not only estimates but regard as well.
So Whatâ € ™ s the cost? Well for do it yourselfers you can expect to pay anywhere from $ 10 per foot for a basic mold to upwards of $ 80 per foot and more for a high end look. If you are looking to have a professional do it then add $ 2 to $ 5 per foot for installation. This is in addition to the cost of materials.
If you are looking to easily update your Austin home then consider the touches of crown molding can add. Although you take the DIY route or open to bow € ™ s, youâ € ™ ll be amazed at the difference in molding can work in any room in your house, from the kitchen to the bathroom, the bedroom to the living room.
