Clean, well-installed molding instantly elevates a space—but getting crisp corners and seamless joints can feel overwhelming without the right approach. This hands-on workshop breaks crown, base, and shoe molding into a clear, repeatable process so you can tackle trim projects with confidence and precision.
Participants will learn how to properly measure, cut, and install molding using a compound miter saw and brad nailer, with an emphasis on accuracy, safety, and clean results. The workshop also covers the finishing steps that separate “good enough” from professional-looking work, including caulking techniques for smooth transitions and a polished appearance.
A guided discussion on sanding, prep, and painting will round out the class so your finished trim blends beautifully with the space and holds up over time.
