TurboRust Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 In need of someone who knows what they are doing when it come to cutting and installing crown moulding. I have three pieces I need done in my master bathroom. Only two corners need mitered and the other two butt directly up to the shower. If you're up for it, I'll have you do the window trim in there as well. Hit me up with some prices or whatever. Looking to have done in the next couple of weeks. Thanks!

Nitrousbird Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've never done it, but I can't imagine it is much harder than base board. Miter saw, tape measure, and a nail gun should do the trick nicely. Should be a pretty easy, after work one night DIY project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are off a degree or two on the corners it shows up a lot more. I did my basement and it sucked, I got a few tools that made it easier but it still wasnt fun, I wasted a decent amount of material in miss-cuts.

Putty Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I had a guy do my whole downstairs. Looks awesome. Got a # if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yeah, it's much harder than it looks. I did my media room to hide the wiring for the surround sound. I got the work done with a standard miter saw. I wish I had gone out and bought the compound miter saw back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I did it at my parents with my dad, It really isn't that hard. Just do some research on it, and have a miter saw and brad or finish nailer handy. The angle cutting can get a little confusing but it really isn't too bad. Triple check ALL of your measurements.

Snowflake Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Its really not hard to do. I watched a couple videos on youtube and before I knew it I was a pro. I learned how to use a coping saw, makes it a lot easier to fit the corners tight and its less angle cuts. Check youtube out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
