"Barry is amazing. He has done several projects for us. He installed a stone retaining wall on the hill behind our pool. He built an enclosure for our pool equipment. He built a "L" shaped pergola with a Coolaroo shade on top on the side/back of our house. He also installed a pergola at my son's home. He does excellent work and we highly recommend Barry (Dunn Wright Renovators) for your home projects."

"We hired for baseboard installation. Pros: quick to respond to the initial request, punctual, began work within a day of giving an estimate, very affordable, worked very quickly. Cons: left old baseboards, nails, and construction trash in every area he worked. When asked to please clean up, due to a child and pets in the house, he was very argumentative. Refused to deal with old material, and claimed we did not pay for trash removal. We were not given the option, it was not discussed. And we were not asking for trash removal, just that we place all old construction safely outside. I would recommend addressing old material relocation prior to hire. In general, the work was ok. Straight areas look great, but not very skilled in difficult-to-place areas such as corners, notches, etc. He just kind of did his thing and did not ask how we wanted to tackle the difficult areas. When quality issues about specific areas were brought up, he was again very argumentative (I mean, straight made up lies) about general construction facts. In the end, he wanted to wash all his paintbrushes in our bathroom sink and argued with us about how it was ok and safe, which we really just did not want a paint mess in our bathroom. TLDR: ultimately got the job done quickly with ok quality for a great price. Left a mess, very argumentative and disrespectful."

"Jay and his team at Greenland did a great job for me! I would highly recommend them! They installed a paver walkway and patio in the backyard, including a border around my grass area. New sprinklers, new plants, weed barrier & pebble ground cover. We also did a dry riverbed in the front yard with plantings and sprinkler system. I’m very pleased. Thank you!"

FAQs for baseboard installation projects in San Marcos, CA

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.
