Crown Molding Installation and Repair

Both crown and cornice molding describe the elegant trim that connects walls and ceilings for a more finished look—in fact, they’re often used interchangeably. Crown molding is the more common usage for homes since it tends to be less ornate. Cornice molding is more common in restaurants and public spaces, both as an intricate decorative element and as a way to conceal lights, supports, and other structural features.

Yes, professionals know how to install crown molding on drywall. The process requires precise measurements, cuts, and mounting. Proper finishing ensures smooth corners and clean lines that elevate the room.

Lightweight crown molding can sometimes be installed with adhesive alone, but heavier trim typically requires both adhesive and nails for long-lasting stability.

Crown molding installation is designed for the top of walls, adding decorative detail at the ceiling line. Regular molding—such as baseboards, chair rails, or casing—finishes other areas like floors, doors, and windows.

Common crown molding materials include wood, MDF, polyurethane, composite, vinyl, flexible, metal, and polystyrene.
