You mentioned three ways to measure between inside corners, just wanted to throw out a third one that's especially helpful on really long walls: Measure from one corner to some round-numbered distance towards the other corner (say, 10'). Make a mark there, then measure from the other corner to the mark, and then add the two numbers together! :)

    Alex Plus ALWAYS cracks over time, a terrible product. Use Dynaflex 230, also by DAP. After several years, still no cracks in my application. As for paint, I found Benjamin Moore Advance is the best for trim, as it leaves virtually no brush marks even with brush application. Satin is generally preferred for trim, but I guess semigloss works as well.

    Sherwin Williams has an amazing ceiling paint, Eminence, which has some self-levelling properties. You can get a matte finish for your ceilings, and your trim that is forgiving if you happen to go a little thick or thin in some places, and I've seen brush lines disappear in a few minutes. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. I sprayed my daughter's ceiling when I removed the texture, and I happened to get a little close with the sprayer, and it went on a little thick, but in a few minutes it had levelled out. I have had excellent results rolling it out as well. It's worth the extra $$ for it.

      ​@@tomconway6808 There are many reasons streaks and blotches could form in any paint but I can tell you from what you are describing it doesn't sound like nicotine stains to me. It was most likely water damage from the roof at one point. If the previous owners were smokers the streaks (and a smell) would be on the ceilings, walls, in the HVAC, in the subfloor, and just about every nook and cranny where something is affixed to the wall. Nicotine stains can and will form on the ceiling but it will also coat everything else in the house. If nicotine is suspected the only thing covering and sealing that is a stain sealing primer followed by your choice of paint and depending how heavy the nicotine is it may require a cleaner for the surfaces prior to priming/painting. You can put 20 coats of paint over nicotine and it won't cover. Nicotine will be an orange/yellowish color and it will make the paint appear to sweat when it is covering it when it bleeds through. Water damage will appear as rings with the outer edges being a light brownish color. Even with water damage a good stain sealing primer would be required.
      If your house is new-ish(built in the last 20 years or so) however it could be just how it was first painted when it was built. A lot of times when houses are being put up one after another especially in new subdivisions the builders are trying to cut corners and scrimp and save every penny they can. One of the easiest places for them to save is the painting. Knowing this the painters trying to get the cheapest bids in for the most amount of work might not both prime and paint the ceilings. I've known painting contractors to just shoot the ceilings with just primer alone or just flat white paint. Both look fine for a year or two but will discolor and fail with time. If this is your case the streaks and blotches are just where the original paint or primer was thin. Or if you had an inexperienced crew it is where they missed when they back rolled the primer/finish on the ceilings. A roller will add a small texture/stipple to the paint spraying alone will be a smoother finish.
      A third reason for the streaks or blotching would be the technique and application of the paint used.
      As far as one being thicker than the other both Promar Ceiling and Eminence have the same 350-400 sq/ft coverage @ 4 mil thickness as per SW.
      Sorry I need to put your "painter" neighbor on blast for his comment about a thicker paint covering stains.

    Ceiling is not perfectly zero degrees, and you go along with ceiling, therefore somewhere at the end your miter are messed up, my thoughts is I want to have a gap of at least 3/4” from the ceiling , not only for a floating effect of the moulding, but I want to have a perfect zero degrees so I won’t messed up somewhere specially if you have 10 corners or more. I’m not an carpenter by profession but an architect.

    Jeff I love you buddy and appreciate your work but I would never do crown like this. I disagree with just holding the crown in place and marking the saw with a marker. It's too easy for a noob to be inconsistent. Even a pro at that. The crown has to be measured on a square. If it comes out let's say 4", make a 4" spacer, than grab another straight strip of wood. Butt the spacer up to the saw fence and then butt the straight strip of wood to the the spacer. Secure the straight piece of wood to the saw. Remove the spacer and now you can just drop the crown in place. Every piece will be EXACTLY in the same nested position.

I've watched all of your drywall videos at least 3 times and some of them 5 and 6 times as I progress. I'm on the last finishing coat of mud in one room. Next is painting and then trim. Maybe. After watching a couple of videos on trim (baseboard and crown molding) that might be a bit too complicated for me. Regardless, I can't thank you enough for your instructions.

    I used a large crown molding in a master bathroom made from polystyrene because it can accommodate a sloping ceiling. I did not use drywall compound and instead used a painters compound, Alex, which worked fabulously, didn't need any support after installation and I did get great butt joints. It paints well but one thing you should note is that it cannot be sanded for the next application of paint sometime in the future. The product saves you having to remove a load of wood from behind the molding to allow it to be positioned on a sloping vaulted ceiling. My molding is over an open shower and jucuzzi tub and was installed 5 years ago and there have been no gaps showing up due to humidity levels and no pieces have fallen off.

    this actually seems like there are more steps involved than with traditional crown. 1) prepare compound 2) cut 3) compound 4) secure to prevent sagging 5) sponge 6) possibly sand excess when dry 7) caulk. VS Traditional crown: 1) cut 2) cope 3) staple/nail 4) caulk. I think both, with good caulking, would be equally as good at hiding imperfections. If you don't have a nailer I can see why this has an edge up but still.

      Agreed, lots of "cut and fill and prop". I'm not sure the product will outlive any wood molding due to the materials used, they tend to self disintegrate over time.

      Garth Clark - agreed, I would think this was made for commercial applications like stores and offices where the life of the deco is rather short lived and the work has to take place at night with minimal trades for profits.

      Yeah....gimmicky crap. Doesn't go up easily or cleanly. The styrofoam will last MANY years. The installation? Not so much ....lol.

    • @ibrazeau3044
      @ibrazeau3044 4 года назад +1

      SomeDumUsrName - the installation will last too. Dot and dab installed boards stay on forever without movement at all so these will too. I am just weary of the facing of these, paper of sorts or composite, that will not fare well over time in a household. Until proven otherwise I will stick with wood or MDF.

      FD 2 installers using NovaCrown can do 600-1000 ft in a single day. Plus no post-installation deficiencies like nail pops, cracks and separation so contractors never get call backs. Mdf and wood can’t compete with that.

    Jeff,
    I live in western NC in the Where the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains meet. I recently move into a home built in 1997 . . .I want to install the Nova Crown molding, however my home has Truss Uplift during the winter months . . . would you recommend that the molding be attached to the Wall or the Ceiling . . . I am not able to attach to both as the "Lift" would break it when winter arrives. I have seen both ways to attach, but would like to hear your thoughts.
    Thx, Rick

  • @bigairic4961
    @bigairic4961 2 года назад +3

    I personally use crown molding stops that attach to the miter saw. It's just that little extra to help get those perfect cuts. So for anyone who's going to do this frequently or for that perfectionist, it's a must buy.

      Home RenoVision DIY I agree with you. I’m a real estate Broker in Vaughan Ontario.

    I am so happy to hear about the foam moldings! I have a question - why use drywall compound Instead of glue? I immediately went to try to find the stuff online, and the companies that I saw suggested glue. I know Jeff has a good reason for why he does things and usually explains it well, so I am curious. Just subscribed this week, and this is my first comment.

      Didn't crack if applied properly.

    • @HomeRenoVisionDIY
      @HomeRenoVisionDIY  2 года назад +4

      I used the drywall mud because the room was basically finished and I didn't want to risk getting glue all over the place. besides it was really easy.

  • @enriquemejia6697
    @enriquemejia6697 3 года назад +2

    Thanks man.. I've learned so much from you.when loading your brush,instead of wiping off the paint from the sides of your brush,just gently slap the sides of your brush against the side of your can. That will store even more paint in your brush and will help you go a little further between dips!!

  • @watuzi

    Instead of using the pole to keep the crown mouldings in place, can I use a finish nailer or stapler? Can you do a video on what to do before moving to a new place? That would be awesome, thanks

    Wow! I have been an armchair DIYer for the last 30 years. I have watched Norm Abrams and Bob Vila forever. Have to say, I have picked up a lot more tips and tricks of home renovation from your show than anywhere else. Though I am a decent woodworker, I am not super confident when it comes to home renovation projects. Your shows give me the confidence I need to take on those projects. The closet organizer and crown molding episodes are really useful to me (also to most others I would think). Flooring episodes were good too. I am going to go watch your shows on painting this weekend.
    I hope you keep doing what you are doing. I hope the trolls don't get to you.

    Stand behind your saw when you're laying the cut up! An amazing tip for a do-it-yourselfer like myself. I've done lots of crown molding in multiple houses but still have to think about each cut. I keep pulling out my four sample pieces and visualizing them on the ceiling. Great tip I will certainly try!!

    Great tutorial. It changed my opinion on Styrofoam crown molding especially since I have a concrete ceiling. I have a few questions tho...is the mud absolutely necessary? I've seen other videos just use caulking, would the Styrofoam molding be appropriate for the bathroom or kitchen? I'm thinking the heat off the shower or stove may have a negative impact on it. I'm looking to do this job on my place alone so I really don't want to mess anything up. Thanks again for the video.

    HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB! OR FLOOR PROTECTION !!!!

He decided to quit and move to Houston, and it's giving me creative authority for finishing and interior design. His contractor... He has made my life miserable with his small oversights, and lack of (knowledge). I want to fix the issue, and finish the project on a strict budget. Can I have an exclusive consultation?

  • @rolandthethompsongunner64
    @rolandthethompsongunner64 2 месяца назад

    I was always told to cope your corners with crown not attempt direct 45 degree connections. That way you’re only 45 on one connection not two. Another thing I was taught was no butt joints with moulding 45’s on length connections. I’ve never used this foam and drywall crown but seems like adhesive caulking would work even better. Drywall compound isn’t an adhesive so until you caulk that stuff I would expect to find it on the floor rather quickly. 😂

    @wintersoul710 4 года назад

    QUESTION / Comment ??? The caulk that you use... you mentioned that it could or would shrink in a nail hole. I experienced the caulk line shrinking at the ceiling, when it did, it pulled and cracked the ceiling finish. I don’t know what type of caulk was used. We had acoustic ceilings in dallas texas. *****What caulk should be used (paintable) dry area walls/ceilings. Thank you for “all” the videos.
