I am a solo handyman who does crown molding every once in a while. Not having a helper, I look for products that allow myself to do a good job without relying on a unreliable helper. In my area there are many oceanfront condos with masonry exterior walls ( poured interior walls also) and poured concrete ceilings. EZCrown was a godsend. I was able to tapcon the frame with short screws and nail the crown molding to the blocks. It was GREAT! Scott Webb Handyman, Port Orange, Florida
I was building a custom home of 5,000 square feet. The owner's wanted extensive trim molding and 6 1/4" crown molding. The owner insisted on wood backing and found EZCrown online. I charged extra for the cost of the EZCrown and I was impressed at how easily the job progressed. I used 2 1/2" 16 gauge nails since the crown was larger. Not only did I save on labor but the crown was much more secure. I made more money and did a better job!. Next time I am just going to add the cost of the EZCrown into the estimate, it will make my life easier! J. B. Ocala, Florida
I am a trim carpenter who always provides wood backing on any crown 5 1/4" or more. Usually, I rip a 2" X 4" 45 degrees on each side. After I find the studs and ceiling joists I fasten the two-by-fours to the framing. It makes for a secure job but it is more labor intensive and costly with the cost of the 2" X 4"s. I used EZCrown and couldn't believe how much TIME I saved. My team never even looked for ANY studs! The screws provided sucked in the EZCrown frame into the ceiling/wall interface. The painter loved the installation because there were less holes to patch! Steve (Shorty) Trim carpenter Orlando
