Crown molding encapsulates a large family of moldings which are designed to gracefully flare out to a finished top edge; generally used for capping walls, pilasters, cabinets; used extensively in the creation of interior and exterior cornice assemblies and door and window hoods.
In recent times, crown moldings have generally made their appearance as mostly decorated plaster or wooden trim where walls meet ceilings.
All crown moldings are available for full scale preview along with downloadable CAD files in our wood trim profile database. We’ve also made our most popular crown moldings available in one CAD file…architectural crown molding (be patient…it’s a big one). Matching existing, historic or napkin sketch? Send it to us at sales@goodmillwork.com and we’ll match it for you in 24 hours.

This article was great! I have been looking into redoing my house and crown molding is so amazing and adds an expensive look to the home. Crown moldings add great value to a home as well as beatify both the interior and exterior. I was looking at this article and I am able to actually click on the pictures in order to enlarge them into a full scale preview. This allows my husband and I to look compare what we already have and imagine how it could look in the context of the area we have to work with. There is also a link to how we can make these beautiful moldings our own. Furthermore, this article allows for people who already have a molding in mind to create his or her own by sending the picture to the company. This is something that I might think about since I extensively studied Roman culture and think that their crown moldings and columns are simply extraordinary! This article is definitely worth checking out if you are considering any remodeling of your home of office.
I would have to say amazing quality and workmanship by you. I was impressed by the type of work provided to me and selection given to me at the time of submissal. Thank you for everything.
This is a very good summary of what the crown moulding collection pieces are especially for the novice in home decor. This is great for one that is totally unfamiliar with the previous variations and dimensions. Very helpful in trying to match up pre-existing mouldings in home that one is trying to match precisely. Extremely helpful that CAD files are attached for review. Love that they will match in a 24 hour turn around. This is most convenient.
I am currently refurbishing my home. Most of the rough work went very quickly. I have come to find out that the finish and trim work not only takes more time but also is responsible for the majority of the look and feel of the finished project. After the rough work was done it was like I was looking at a blank canvas and didn’t really know what I wanted to do. Your site has helped me in this respect. By looking around I was able to get a general idea of where to start and now I have something to build upon. All of your designs have also given me more room to move as far as design concept. Thanks!
