FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

                     

ORDERING

1. What is the difference between your mouldings and others?
The difference is in quality, detail, consistency, and final cost. We manufacture our mouldings using advanced machinery and quality material that ensure fine and consistent details that can not be achieved with tools and methods available on the job site. You will save on time and labor that ultimately translate to lower final cost.
2. How could I find out if a contractor is actually using your products?
Give us a call! We have received complaints about some contractors that use our catalog to approach customers, but later install counterfeit products. You can call us to find out if a contractor is actually using our mouldings.
