Manhattan Crown Molding and Box Molding Installation

New York City has a long, rich history of development since an early settlement around 1524. Historic structures, bridges and landmarks grace the city, and one couple and their sweet, fluffy, caramel chocolate color pup wanted to infuse some historical flair in their new home in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Crown molding and decorative panel wall trim can be found in historically-significant buildings throughout the Big Apple.

Our client selected crown molding for an elegant look around the ceiling edges and box molding to add some class to a plain wall. We custom cut and installed all the molding before painting everything. We even hung the graceful, new chandelier to the designated length. Combined with old brick painted white and the attractive ceiling medallion, the home evokes a perfect blend of modern style and historical design elements.

Manhattan Crown Molding Carpentry

Crown molding comes out of ancient civilization architecture, hides the seam where ceiling meets wall and adds a stunning touch of elegance to any room. It’s a precision kind of job, as each piece needs to be selected for straightness, measured twice and custom cut once. Accuracy is imperative for placement at the perpendicular seam and along the length necessary. Our carpentry skills are as sharp as our painting expertise.

The Paintworks team takes great care in protecting furnishings, floors and fixtures while working, and here we had to use a special blocking technique to prep the surface due to the concrete ceiling. When everything was skillfully added and all freshly painted, we were seriously impressed with how the new crown molding so perfectly complements the lovely antique furnishings in this Manhattan home.
