Trim Work That Covers Gaps and Finishes Rooms

Baseboard, crown molding, and casing installation services in Greer, South Carolina

When you walk into a room in Greer and notice the gap between the drywall and the floor, or where the door frame meets the wall, that's where trim belongs. Baseboards cover the joint where flooring ends, casing frames door and window openings, and crown molding creates a finished transition where walls meet the ceiling. Without these pieces, even freshly painted rooms look incomplete.

Crowning Construction, LLC installs baseboards, crown molding, door and window casing, and decorative trim throughout Greer homes. The work involves cutting accurate miters at inside and outside corners, coping joints where two pieces of molding meet, and filling nail holes so the trim sits flush and clean along every wall. The result is a room that looks intentional and finished rather than raw.

Cutting, Fitting, and Securing Each Piece

Your trim installation in Greer begins with measuring each wall and cutting molding to length using a miter saw for precise angles. Corners are mitered at 45 degrees or coped depending on the profile, and each piece is test-fit before being nailed into place. A nail gun is used to fasten trim to studs or blocking, and any gaps are filled with caulk or wood filler before painting.

After the trim is installed, you'll see clean lines where walls meet floors and ceilings, tight corners with no visible gaps, and door frames that look complete. The molding will sit flat against the wall without bowing or lifting, and the finish will look smooth once painted or stained.

This type of work is common in Greer homes during remodels or cosmetic upgrades, especially when new flooring or paint makes old trim look worn. The installation moves quickly and leaves rooms ready for final finishes without drywall damage or visible fasteners.

What Homeowners Usually Want to Know

People in Greer typically ask about material choices, whether existing trim can be reused, and how trim integrates with new flooring or paint schedules.

What type of trim material should I use?
Most homes in Greer use pine or MDF for painted trim because it's affordable and takes finish well. If you're staining the trim, hardwood or primed wood is a better choice for durability and appearance.
How is crown molding attached to the ceiling?
Crown molding is nailed into ceiling joists and wall studs at an angle using a nail gun. Backing blocks are added where there's no solid framing, and joints are caulked to create a seamless look.
When should trim be installed during a remodel?
Trim goes in after drywall is finished and painted but before final flooring is installed. Baseboards are added last so they sit on top of the floor and cover the expansion gap.
Why do corners sometimes have gaps after trim is installed?
Gaps appear when walls are not square or when wood shrinks after installation. Caulking fills small gaps, and coped joints are used on crown and baseboards to hide irregularities better than mitered corners.
How long does it take to install trim in one room?
A single room in Greer typically takes half a day to a full day depending on the amount of trim and the number of corners. Larger homes with multiple rooms take longer but follow the same process in each space.

Interior trim work in Greer is most efficient when walls are prepped and painted, allowing the trim to be installed and finished without waiting between trades.
