We used a recommendation from TI when we did our crown molding and wainscotting, Robert from OC Finishwood. I was very pleased with his work and price. He did crown molding in 4 rooms, chairails, wainscotting (beadboard and paneling), and casing on some entryways. He pays attention to detail and does a great job, but it does take him a while. He is also difficult to get a hold of (presumably because he is busy) and many others on TI have mentioned this. I have found it is best to get a hold of him via text.

Did you hire painters afterward or was it prepainted?
shadyoc said:Marty, did he paint on the spot or did he paint outside and then install? I am debating Millworkcraft who doesnt paint and California Moulding who has it prepainted. I am leaning. toward having it painted outside of the house. That way we dont have to live with painters taping up everything and running the risk of overspray on furnitute, walls, ceilings, etc not to mention living thru the painting onsite.
Has anyone on the forum had moulding and wainscoting prepainted outside of the house, then installed after its painted? Worry about putty and caulking maybe not matching, even with touch up. But prepaint sounds so much easier.
shadyoc said:I will call him. My neighbors used woodstone moulding and they are most expensive. Some used CA Moulding which are cheaper. Some used Millwork Craft which is middle. Curious as to how OC Finishwood compares price wise and quality wise. I got a flier for Woodwork Solutions in Mission Viejo but no one has ever used them.
rkp said:Same experience for us as Marty had. Robert taped everything and there was no issues. You can't see nails and the joints are really tight. I wouldn't say perfect but its pretty darn close.
If they paint outside or don't paint at all, you will see the nails. Its not a big deal but you will notice them.
