How do I install crown molding in my room?

Question

I am looking to install crown molding into my room, but not sure how to. I have a basic square room with no tricky corners. Could someone please give me some tips, explain the process, tools that will be needed, etc.? Any help would be very appreciative, thank you.

Answer 1

You need a miter saw. I have a Rigid (Home Depot). Then read the manual. They tell you the angles you need.



Or do what I did. Buy corner blocks. They sell several sizes and styles. The go in the corner (suprise) and you only have to make straight cuts. Makes it a whole lot easier. Buy the longest pieces you can to limit the number of splices you need to make.
