GREAT TRIM CAN TAKE A ROOM FROM UNFINISHED TO POLISHED.
MOLDING
INSTALLATION
Trim molding can completely change the look of a room, but clean results depend on accurate measuring, cutting, and finishing.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll work with real materials and professional-grade tools while learning how to measure molding runs, cut inside and outside corners with a compound miter saw, install base and shoe molding with a brad nailer, and create clean, seamless joints.
You’ll also practice the finishing techniques that give trim a polished look, including caulking, filling nail holes, sanding, and preparing molding for paint.
With instructor demonstrations and guided practice, you’ll leave with the skills and confidence to take on common trim projects with greater accuracy and achieve a more professional-looking finish in your home.
Recommended Prerequisite: Completion of Intro to Power Tools is highly recommended before taking this workshop.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
CREATE A BEAUTIFUL
FINISH TO A ROOM.
Professional trim installation can add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to a remodeling project. Learning to measure, cut, and install base and shoe molding yourself can significantly reduce labor costs while giving your home a clean, finished look. Whether you’re updating one room or tackling a larger renovation, these skills can pay for themselves on your first project and serve you for years to come.
Recommended Prerequisite: Completion of Intro To Power Tools is highly recommended prior to this workshop to ensure comfortability working with power tools. We will not cover Intro To Power Tools in this workshop.
