Efficient Molding Fixes to Maintain Structural Integrity
Molding includes crown molding, baseboards, chair rails, and decorative trims. Each type serves a different purpose and requires specific repair techniques.
Cracks, chips, warping, and water damage are frequent problems that necessitate repairs to restore the moldings' appearance and function.
Repairs may involve filling cracks, sanding, repainting, or replacing sections. Proper matching of materials and finishes ensures a seamless repair.
Wood, plaster, polyurethane, and PVC are common materials for moldings. The choice depends on location, durability needs, and design preferences.
