Hollow black copper iron baluster

These are the iron balusters in the basket series. From left to right, black copper hollow type, black copper solid type, solid satin black.
The hollow types are light weight but strong and the finish is pretty much the same. So the shipping is a little cheaper and the cost of the balusters is less expensive. So now more finishes are available for less. Call The Finishing Company for your iron baluster installs.

Two piece crown molding

Just installed some larger crown molding in a new home in Richmond Va. I installed about 400 Linear feet of a two piece or member colonial type crown molding. It consisted of a 4 1/4 inch beaded base board and then the crown moulding 4 5/8 inches.
First I secured the beaded base board upside down to the studs, then the 4 5/8 crown molding to the studs and the base board and I also toe nailed into the ceiling with  some smaller nails. There are lots of different types of moldings and millwork you  can combine to make built up crown. There were many corners a good angle finder comes in handy.
Here is a before picture

We installed this window cornice in Richmond Va. Beside adding architectural detail to a room I think these cornices help prevent dust gathering on these home made curtains? Anyhow if you have a picture or a design of a window cornices you would like us to make please call The Finishing Company in Richmond Va (804)591-9869 Finish Carpenters.
I think you could call this a valance or a window treatment?

Bookcases Richmond VA.

I just installed this built in bookcase in Richmond Virginia. I used paint grade birch plywood for the side walls and mdf for the shelves. I used fluted moldings to dress up the front of the bookcase and a thicker beaded baseboard with a 3 5/8 inch crown to make a two piece crown molding on top. I used the original tall ranch baseboard on the bottom with shoe molding. 
The fluted molding was made of pine and was revisable so I thought the beaded side out would go better with molding in the house.

 The bookcase walls are about 12 1/2 inches deep enough room to accommodate the shelf's.I The shelf's are adjustable.

Installing chair rail

  Chair Rail

Two piece chair rail.

I install a lot of chair rail in Richmond, Virginia. The most popular kind is a two piece chair rail consisting of a four and half inch backer board or mullion and a more decorative three inch piece on top of it.

Chair railing is a architectural moulding that protects walls from bumping chairs and other furniture. You can install chair rail in virtually any room in your home. We have installed chair rail in bathrooms and kitchens. Chair rail can also be installed in bedrooms, nurseries and living rooms. Chair railing also looks fabulous in hallways, foyers and up along your stairs. Chair rail can also used to cap off wainscoting. Chair rail can be painted or stained. You can choose a one piece chair railing or a built up chair rail consisting of two or more pieces combined.
