Our Full-Service Crown Molding Installation Process
The secret to beautiful crown molding? Careful measurements, accurate cuts, and a team that pays attention to the small details.
- Schedule your estimate. Tell us where you would like to add crown molding and what you want the finished room to look like. We will discuss your ideas, answer your initial questions, and explain what comes next.
- Walk through the space with our team. One of our professionals will evaluate the room in person. We will look at the ceiling height, wall conditions, existing trim, and inside or outside corners before recommending molding that fits the space.
- Review a clear project estimate. We will provide an estimate that explains the planned work and pricing. You will know what the project includes before you decide to move forward, with no guesswork about the scope.
- Finalize the molding details. Our team will help you choose a crown molding profile and size that complements the room. We can also discuss paint color and how the new molding should relate to your existing baseboards, doors, or other architectural details.
- Thorough prep work. Our crew will place protective coverings over floors and furnishings. Then we address surface issues that could prevent the molding from sitting properly.
- Cut and install the crown molding. Our trained installers will measure each section, make precise angled cuts, and secure the molding in place. We take the time to create tight joints and smooth transitions, including in rooms where walls and corners are not perfectly square.
- Fill, caulk, and finish the details. After installation, we will fill nail holes and refine the joints. We will also caulk appropriate seams to create a smooth connection between the molding, walls, and ceiling.
- Prime and paint the molding. When finishing is included in your project, our team will prime and paint the new crown molding for a clean, consistent appearance. We will protect surrounding surfaces and make sure the final color looks right throughout the room.
- Final walkthrough. We will inspect the finished installation with you and handle any necessary touch-ups.

Why Hire a St. Louis Painting Contractor?
Crown molding can look simple until uneven walls, complicated corners, or inconsistent cuts leave visible gaps. You may also wonder whether a contractor will protect your space, communicate clearly, and finish the project as promised. We understand. You deserve to feel comfortable with the team working in your property and confident that the finished molding will look right.
Kennedy Painting gives you a professional process from the first walkthrough to the final inspection. When you hire our team, you get:
- Skilled work from in-house employees. Kennedy Painting does not hand your crown molding project to subcontractors. We continually train our employees in trade techniques and customer service. Many members of our management team have worked with us for more than 10 years, helping us maintain consistent standards across every project.
- Precise installation built around your space. Crown molding requires more than cutting boards to length. Our team accounts for the room’s proportions and the condition of its surfaces before installation begins. We also catch details that less-experienced installers may overlook, creating a more polished result.
- A process you do not have to manage. You deserve more than chasing contractors, wondering if they will show up and when the project will be complete. Our professional crews communicate clearly and follow an organized plan, allowing you to focus on your day while we handle the project.
- Straightforward pricing. We explain the proposed work and its cost before installation starts. You choose an approach that works for your goals and budget.
- Local experience since 1998. St. Louis properties range from historic homes with aging plaster to newer spaces with simpler architectural details. Our team understands how those differences affect crown molding installation and knows when the surrounding surfaces need attention first.
- Accountability after the work is complete. We want you to love the finished room. If you are not satisfied, owner Sean Kennedy will personally contact you to understand the concern and determine how we can make it right.
- Expertise recognized throughout St. Louis. Kennedy Painting has been recognized by STL Magazine’s St. Louis A-List and the STL Headliner Awards. We also hold an A+ rating with the BBB and have earned more than 10 years of the Angi Super Service Award. Plus, 98% of our surveyed customers would recommend us to friends and family.
