Yes they do! It is amazing what a difference the appearance, finish and feel is in a home that has all the moldings and custom trim in place. The moldings provide borders around a room and accent the paint colors, entry ways, windows and flooring. Having the moldings put into a home is not a big project and makes a world of difference when you start showing the home to buyer prospects.
Here is a little test: walk into a room or look around the room you are in right now. Does it have moldings/custom trim and, if so, do you see how nice the room looks? Or, if the room has moldings/custom trim can you visualize how you could paint the room a different color to provide a different vibe or contrast with the use of the moldings? Finally, if the room does not have moldings, try to visualize what it would look like with clean moldings and custom trim around the ceilings, along the floor and around the entry ways and windows. The ability to showcase a room and transition different colors from room to room is easily facilitated with moldings and custom trim in place.
Moldings not only help sell a home but, even better, they sell the home for more money. If you are curious about a home project that pays big returns, put installing custom moldings on top of the list. Do your best to find a reasonably priced but precise finish carpenter and start picking out some crown, chair rail, floor base and window moldings. You will be amazed by what it does to your home. In response to today’s buyers requirements of choosing a ”finished” home, they will be impressed and lured into making an offer.
