What is your return policy?

We accept all returned stock items within 45 days of purchase if the pieces are not painted
or cut. Unfortunately, if you have painted or cut any of the items, we are unlikely able to
accept them as a return. Returned material must be brought back to one of our stores. We do
not offer pickup for returns.

We offer two refund options under our return policy. We can refund your money through your
original payment method, or we can keep the remaining as a balance on your account as store
credit to use on a later purchase. If you have other questions or concerns about our return
policy, please get in touch with us.

What payment types do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, American Express, Mastercard, and Discover) and cash
payments for our products when purchasing in person at one of our locations. For online
transactions, we accept all major credit cards for your convenience.

Products & services

Do you offer custom milling?

Yes, we do offer custom milling. We know there are times when the vision for your project
doesn’t match any in-stock options, and you want something customized, so we are happy to
work with you on any project, no matter the size. Our custom milling comes with a lead time
of 2 weeks. Contact your local store
here for more information!

Do you sell closet materials?

Yes, we stock closet materials such as poles, shelving, hinges, pulls, brackets, and all the
hardware necessary for installation.

How do you keep your prices competitive?

We started our American moulding company as a wholesale business, so we established
relationships with local and international mills to skip the middleman and pass on our
material cost savings directly to our customers. Because there’s no go-between, there’s no
unnecessary markup, and we can keep our average cost down compared to big box stores.

Installation & care

How do you properly prepare trim for installation?

When installing crown moulding, chair rail, or other trim types, you should always prepare
it before you install it. Regardless of if you are new to the process or not, we recommend
watching our video to
learn how to prepare our trim for installation.
If you have any other questions about preparation before trim installation, please feel free
to contact us.

How do you properly install WindsorONE products?

We recommend visiting their website for our
WindsorONE products to learn how to install
their material correctly.

How do you properly install Kelleher products?

We recommend using their installation instructions for our
Kelleher products, which can be found on their
website.

How do I keep my moulding clean?

Keeping your moulding clean will help it look beautiful for longer. When there’s dust, wipe
the dust away from the moulding with a gentle microfiber cloth. If you notice your moulding
looks a bit dirty or grimy, a mild cleanser and water mixture in a spray bottle, followed by
drying the moulding with a cloth, should take care of the mess.

For more difficult-to-remove stains, scrubbing with the soft side of a sponge dipped in a
water and vinegar mixture and then wiping with a dry cloth will usually get the job done.
However, you shouldn’t use vinegar on painted mouldings. Scrub with only water if you are
cleaning a painted moulding.

How much does moulding installation cost?

Moulding installation costs can vary greatly, depending on who does the installation and how
much labor is involved. If you install moulding yourself, the price will be less than hiring
someone to do the installation professionally. Many factors go into the final cost of
moulding installation, and you should talk to your contractor for a more detailed cost
breakdown if you are not doing it yourself.
