Cabinets that stop short of the ceiling with an open gap above them are a common dated detail in older Polk County kitchens. Crown molding addition closes that gap with a finished trim piece, a small change that updates the whole top line of the kitchen without touching the cabinet boxes or doors.

Haines City Cabinet Refacing cuts and finishes molding to match your existing cabinet color or stain, then installs it along the full run of upper cabinets. It's a quick finishing touch, often added at the end of a larger refacing job or done on its own to update a kitchen that's otherwise in good shape.

FAQs

Crown Molding Addition FAQs

How can I update my old kitchen cabinets without replacing them?

Crown molding is one of the simplest ways to update the look of a kitchen's top line without replacing any cabinets. It's often paired with hardware or door updates for a bigger overall change.

How long does a crown molding installation take?

Most standard kitchens are finished in a single day, including cutting, fitting, and finish touch-ups.

Will the molding match my existing cabinet color?

We match stain or paint to your existing cabinetry so the molding looks like it was part of the original design.

Do I need a permit for adding crown molding?

Crown molding addition is cosmetic trim work and doesn't require a permit in most Polk County jurisdictions.

Can crown molding be added to just the upper cabinets?

Most installations focus on upper cabinets since that's where the visible gap to the ceiling typically is. Lower cabinets don't usually need it.
