Crown & Trim in Macomb Township, MI
Almost every house in Macomb Township was trimmed the same way: the narrowest colonial casing on the market, a three-inch base, and no crown anywhere except possibly the dining room. It is the single cheapest place a builder can save money across two hundred houses, and it is the single most visible one.
Replacing it is the highest-return finish carpentry available in this housing stock, because everything else about these rooms is already right. The walls are square, the drywall is sound, the ceilings are tall — the only thing making a nine-foot room read as builder-grade is trim sized for a much smaller house. Taller baseboard gives the wall a visible base, wider casing gives doors and windows real weight, and crown scaled to the ceiling height closes the room at the top. In a two-story foyer we run the crown and the stair skirt as a continuous detail so the eye follows it up rather than stopping at the landing. Where builders used a picture-frame return over the windows, we build a proper head casing with a cap. The order of work matters for budget: doing the public rooms and the foyer first gets most of the visible change, and bedrooms can follow later without anything looking half-finished, because these floor plans separate cleanly at door openings.
We measure and price by the room so you can stage it, and we install with the joints glued and the profiles mitred rather than caulked into alignment. Everything is milled at our Chesterfield shop.
Macomb Township is a short run west of our Chesterfield shop, so there is no travel premium and scheduling is easy.
Crown & Trim questions from Macomb Township homeowners
- What size trim suits a nine-foot ceiling?
- Taller than what is on there now, in nearly every case. As a rule of thumb a nine-foot room carries a five to seven inch baseboard, three and a half to four inch casing, and crown in the four to six inch range depending on how much presence you want. The exact profile matters as much as the size, and we bring samples to hold up in the actual room, because a profile that looks right in a showroom can disappear under your lighting.
- Do I have to do the whole house at once?
- No, and most people here do not. These floor plans break cleanly at door openings, so a foyer, great room and dining room package stands on its own and looks finished. Bedrooms and secondary spaces can follow in a later phase. We price by room so you can see exactly where the money goes and stop wherever you want.
