• What is the purpose of statement and accent walls?

    Adding wall moldings, trim and wallpaper can significantly elevate the appearance and character of a home, transforming plain spaces into sophisticated and refined areas. Here's how and why these architectural elements make such an impact:


    Visual Enhancement

    Wall moldings and trim introduce architectural elegance to even the simplest spaces. They add depth, texture, and visual interest to walls, creating a more dynamic and layered look. For example, adding picture moulding to a long hallway can really elevate its appearance to the next level, going from a basic box to a highly attractive space.


    Increased Property Value

    Investing in high-quality wall moldings and trim can boost a home's resale value. Potential buyers often appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that these architectural elements represent, viewing them as desirable features that add value to the property. They can help set your home apart from others on the market, simply by refreshing the space.


    Customization and Personalization

    Wall moldings and trim allow you to express your individual style. Whether preferring classic, contemporary, abstract or eclectic designs, custom molding can be tailored to suit specific tastes and preferences. This customization helps create a unique and personalized living space that reflects your unique aesthetic.


    Practical Benefits

    Beyond aesthetics, moldings serve practical purposes. They can hide imperfections or transitions between walls and ceilings, creating a more polished look. By incorporating these architectural details, you can transform basic rooms into refined, sophisticated spaces that exude character and charm. The impact of wall moldings and trim extends beyond mere decoration, enhancing the overall ambiance and perceived value of a home.

  • What is the process of installing an accent wall, from start to finish?

    First, we will meet for a free consultation. Here, we will discuss the full scope of your project. You will be asked questions such as: 

    • What are the spaces you are interested in enhancing?
    • Do you have any desired colour palettes I need to work within?
    • Do you have a desired style of wall (i.e. board and batten, shiplap, etc.)?
    • Do you have a budget to work within?
    • Are there any additional elements you would like to have added (wallpaper and/or styling)?

    Next, we will take measurements and request to snap some photos of your space(s). This is for design purposes and will not be shared with anyone without your consent.


    We will then provide a rough sketch of the proposed design, and together we can make desired changes.


    Then installation will commence. Here is an example install timeline for a single 9x10 wall:


    Day 1: 

    • Removal of any baseboards or existing trim if needed for the design. This may involve minor wall patching.
    • Molding install as per design.
    • Joint fill with wood filler.

    Day 2:

    • Sanding and second coat of joint filler if required. This is a meticulous and time consuming process to ensure high quality, seamless results. Dry time between coats is required.
    • Second round of sanding with a finer grit.
    • Caulking. Another very meticulous process which if done properly, will result in seamless transitions between molding and wall.

    Day 3:

    • Minimum two coats of paint and any touchups on existing trimwork.
  • How much does an accent wall cost?

    This is a tricky one to answer, as every single wall will be a different size, style, material, labour intensity, and finish. 


    Pricing varies based on the project scope, finishes, and materials. An average accent wall for a dining room in a typical suburban home might cost between $2,000 to $4,000. 


    After our free design consultation, we will provide a breakdown of the final price for your approval. 

  • Do you offer free design consultations?

    Absolutely. Whether you want to be involved in every step or prefer to leave the details to us, the free design consultation will be our jumping off point where all the details will be ironed out.

    Scheduling is easy - just reach out through the Contact page.

  • What areas do you serve?

    Currently only serving the Saugeen Shores area.

  • What is the typical timeline for a project?

    The timeline depends on the project’s complexity. Some projects can take one day for install, with 2-3 days for finishing, while the average project can take around five days from planning to installation to completion. Not to worry as we will provide an estimated timeframe during your consultation.

  • What should I expect during installation?

    We will show up with all the tools required, and get right to work. Ideally the space is cleared of furniture or objects. We treat your home like our own, being meticulous in keeping a tidy workspace throughout each workday, and before heading home for each evening. 

  • What materials do you use?

    The best and easiest material we have found to work with is MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard). It is a very versatile, flexible, paintable and stable material.

  • Do you require a deposit to start the project?

    Yes, upon signing the contract, we ask for a 50% deposit to cover initial material costs. 

  • Do you provide a warranty on your work?

    Yes, we provide a one-year warranty on material and workmanship. 

  • How do I protect and care for my moldings after install?

    Immediately after installation, you only need to wipe down the surfaces with a clean, soft cloth to remove any dust  that may have settled. For long-term care, I recommend the following:


    Regular dusting: Use a microfiber or soft cloth to dust your trimwork regularly.


    Avoid harsh cleaners: Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners or simply water with a gentle soap for occasional cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the finish.


    Prevent moisture buildup: Be mindful of areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms. Make sure the area is well-ventilated to avoid warping or swelling over time.

  • Do you offer painting services without wall molding install?

    Our painting services are only offered as the finishing touch for your accent wall installation.

  • Are there trim styles you do not offer?

    Currently we offer installations that go beyond your standard home builder services (baseboard, crown molding, window trim, etc.). We do not currently install these as standalone items. 

    We aim to enhance and work within your existing trim work, to create a unique, customized and cohesive look.
