McKinney Crown Molding Repair
When you experience wall or ceiling issues, it is not uncommon for any type of molding to be affected as well. Whenever you need a drywall repair or ceiling repair due to cracks and holes, it’s worth checking out your crown moldings for damages too. Our local experts can fill gaps and cracks with high-quality adhesive or caulk. Sometimes, using spackle may also be a good option should the crack be wider than just a hairline. Using wood putty or wood filler is a good option if you want a wooden finish. In the past, we have noticed that some decorative moldings were incorrectly installed, so they react more sensitively to shifting soil or home settlement. But a little bit of wood putty, refinishing, or repainting will easily restore its original looks and functions.
On the other hand, water damage is a more serious scenario. It could be due to a leaky pipe or a roof leak and lead to water-damaged drywall as well. That’s when materials will likely need to be fully replaced. But you will benefit from a brand-new crown molding installation. McKinney, TX homeowners can count on us to repair their indoor walls, ceiling, and surrounding structures, including baseboard molding and crown molding repair.
McKinney Crown Molding Installation
Depending on your preference for crown molding material and design, the installation process may vary. After taking the measurements of the room or space, we’ll mark the specific areas and locate the wall studs. This allows our technicians to pre-determine where the nails will go.
The next step involves cutting the materials to your preferred size and degree angle. (Common angles include 38-, 45-, or 50-degrees.) Any requested painting job will also be done in advance. During the installation, we’ll inspect the joints, sand down the edges, and test the molding pieces to make sure they fit.
There are two options for our McKinney crown molding installation. First, it’s using a nail gun to nail the pieces to the wall studs (highly recommended!). The second option is to glue the structure to the wall and ceiling. If you opt for glue, we recommend choosing a high-quality paneling adhesive. Gluing is best suited for lightweight structures, like polyurethane-based moldings.
Whichever option you prefer, we’ll be happy to assist you, as well as give you our honest opinion should we believe you’d get the best, long-lasting results.
