General Installation Recommendations



(Also see Care & Feeding of Millwork for instructions on proper storing and finishing.)

Following is a brief overview of our recommended general installation techniques. More detailed installation information can be found at many product sections.

Brass Screws - For most items we recommend round-head (also called pan-head) brass screws, with screw heads left exposed. Screws allow more adjustment than nailing, avoid damage from hammer blows, and permit easy removal for maintenance.

Pre-drilling - Holding the item in place, mark appropriate screw locations. Pre-drill screw holes large enough to allow screws to snugly fit through the item without using a screw driver. You may also drill pilot holes into the mounting surface. These should be slightly smaller than the screws, for a good hold.

Installation Books
Our Online Porch Guide includes a comprehensive section on Installation of Porch Parts.

Crown Moulding and Trim has 132 full color pages to aid in the installation of your Crown Mouldings. A companion set of wood templates is also available.

And, of course, you have all of us! We're eager to answer any questions you may have... so give us a call at 903-356-2158.

PS - Don’t forget to send a picture when your project is finished. We love sharing your success.
