"Michael Garman is not only an artist, he is the nicest person ever. His work is of the highest caliber. He is a perfectionist with his work. This is the FOURTH time I have hired Michael and will do so again. You won't find anyone better. He is always on time, polite, friendly and goes out of his way to help. He is so neat there is nothing to clean up afterwards. All that's left is to enjoy the beautiful job he has done."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Stunning Refinish – Highly Recommend! I couldn't be happier with the way our hardwood floors turned out! We had some old, torn-up floors that honestly looked like they were beyond saving—but the transformation is unbelievable. After the refinishing, they look like brand new floors, absolutely gorgeous, with a smooth, rich finish that completely elevates the look of our home. Not only was the quality of the work exceptional, but the price was also more than fair—especially considering the results. On top of that, they were incredibly professional: they showed up 15 minutes early, ready to work, and clearly take pride in what they do. It’s rare to find that kind of reliability and craftsmanship these days. If you're thinking about getting your hardwood floors redone, do it—and call these folks. I can't recommend them enough!"

"Nor-Way Inc completed our kitchen remodel and it looks spectacular! At every pain point Robert and Dennis found a solution that always exceeded our expectations. Our remodel included radiant heat floors, new tile flooring, new cabinets, back splash tile, accent wall tile and installation of all new appliances and quartz counter tops. Our remodel was complete in the time quoted of 6 weeks. We need to remodel our bathrooms next and will not consider using any other contractor.

"I found Ralph of KLK Carpentry on Angi and couldn’t be happier. He completed three major projects in my condo: custom built-in dining nook shelves and extensive wall trim/paneling in the living room and hallway. The craftsmanship is extremely detail-oriented and looked beautiful even before paint. I shared inspo photos (1.5” colonial trim spaced 2” in the living room and 2.5” hotel-style chair rail spaced 4” in the hallway), and he sourced trim even better than I envisioned. Of three quotes, his pricing was fair and competitive, and it included materials, which was so helpful. He’s insured, efficient, and highly professional. What truly sets him apart is his communication and temperament. He was responsive, calm, and reassuring throughout. Even when my vision shifted mid-project, he’d simply say, “Ok, no problem.” The entire process felt smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him and will absolutely hire him again."

"Great job from Raylor! When we just moved in to my place we didn’t like our walls, our kitchen cabinets and many other details we wanted to change. Very happy with the finishing, time, and very competitive price. I would definitely hire him and his team again"

FAQs for interior trim and decorative moldings installation projects in Evanston, IL

Installing crown molding can be challenging, depending on the material and your skill level. Lightweight materials like polystyrene and softwoods are easier for homeowners to install themselves, offering a cost-saving option. However, heavier materials like hardwoods and plaster are difficult to work with and require professional installation to achieve a high-quality result. Precision is crucial in measuring, cutting, and fitting crown molding, so hiring a professional ensures the best outcome.

Crown molding is available at various price points, ranging from $1 to $30 per linear foot, depending on the material. This wide range offers options for every budget. Affordable materials like MDF, PVC, and polystyrene provide cost-effective solutions, while premium materials like exotic hardwoods or metal offer a luxurious appearance at a higher cost. Regardless of your budget, you can find crown molding that enhances your home's aesthetic.

Crown molding is installed by professional finish carpenters or painters who specialize in detailed trim work. These experts possess the necessary skills and tools to ensure precise measurements, accurate cuts, and seamless installation. By hiring a professional, you can achieve a flawless finish that enhances your home's aesthetic appeal without the risk of common DIY mistakes.

Crown molding can be installed in various areas of your house to add elegance and architectural interest. It is commonly used where walls meet the ceiling, but you can also place crown molding around doors, windows, mirrors, and atop cabinets. Installing crown molding in these locations enhances visual appeal, creates a cohesive design, and adds a touch of sophistication to your home's interior.

To determine how much crown molding to purchase, start by measuring the length of each wall where you plan to install crown molding and add the measurements together to determine the total linear feet required. Purchase an extra 10% of material to account for waste from cutting angles and to ensure seamless joints by using full-length pieces when possible. Including additional material helps avoid shortages and ensures a smooth installation process.

For a professional crown molding installer, this task takes about 1 to 3 hours per room, depending on size and complexity. Factors like the material, design intricacy, and number of corners can affect the time. If you're doing it yourself, expect it to take longer as you get the hang of measuring and cutting precise angles. Advanced measuring and planning or hiring a pro can help the project go smoothly.
