We hired Centennial Painters to repaint the exterior of our home, and the results exceeded every expectation. Our house was eight years old and still had its original paint, but we wanted to completely transform it with a more timeless, classic look featuring a white body and black trim. The finished product is absolutely stunning. From the beginning, Eric and his team stood apart from every other company we contacted. Eric spent approximately 45 minutes carefully walking around our home, evaluating the condition of every surface, and explaining exactly what would be required to achieve the best possible result. Other companies were in and out within 15 minutes and provided very little explanation. Centennial Painters was also the only company that recommended fully priming the house before applying the new color. Although we selected Sherwin-Williams Emerald paint, which includes primer properties, Eric explained that the dramatic color change could still result in uneven coverage or spotting without a consistent undercoat. That level of knowledge, honesty, and attention to detail gave us confidence that they were focused on doing the job correctly rather than simply doing it quickly. Our painters, Dennis and Giovanni, spent six full days meticulously putting their experience and craftsmanship to work. They took extraordinary care to protect our windows, patio, landscaping, and everything surrounding the home from paint, spills, and overspray. Their preparation was thorough, their work was precise, and their attention to detail was exceptional. Dennis and Giovanni are truly masters of their craft. The lines are clean, the coverage is flawless, and the transformation of our home is remarkable. It looks better than we imagined it could. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome and could not recommend Centennial Painters more highly. Anyone considering painting their home should make Centennial Painters one of their first calls. Their professionalism, expertise, preparation, and quality of workmanship are on another level.+1Posted on Google

Nathan Jansch26 June 2026Centennial Painters did a great job on the exterior of my house; for, what I thought, was a very competitive price. I checked out a few painters in the market and I’m glad that I went with Eric and his team. Hi crew came in, power washed, primed, caulked and painted my entire house in a day. My house is a one-story ranch - so maybe not as big as some other houses out there. But I’m glad I hired Centennial Painters and I’ve already referred them to my mom for some of her interior painting needs.
Is Decorative Trim & Molding Right For You?
Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference. If any of the following ring true for you, then decorative cabinet molding might be right for you!
- Your cabinets look basic or underwhelming. Flat cabinet boxes lack the architectural details that make kitchens feel designed rather than standard.
- There's an awkward gap between your cabinets and ceiling. Crown molding creates a polished, built-in appearance while closing unsightly gaps.
- You want more polish on your kitchen island. Decorative trim transforms basic islands into stunning focal points to match your personal style.
- You want a custom look without replacing cabinets. Strategic trim and molding additions deliver high-end results for thousands less than new cabinetry.

Transform Your Cabinets with Professional Trim & Molding
We source and install quality wood trim materials, then paint or stain them to perfectly complement your cabinet finish. Here are the molding options that transform ordinary cabinets into custom designs:
Crown Molding
Crown molding finishes the top of upper cabinets, creating an elegant, high-end appearance. Beyond aesthetics, crown molding closes gaps between cabinets and ceilings for a seamless built-in look. Available in various profiles from traditional to contemporary.
Light Rail Molding
Light rail trim adds decorative detail to the bottom edge of wall cabinets. It also serves a practical purpose, reducing glare from under-cabinet lighting or hiding items hung beneath cabinets. This affordable trim option transforms the look of standard upper cabinets with minimal investment.
Kitchen Island Trim & Details
Custom trim transforms basic kitchen islands into stunning focal points. Add decorative panels for a polished furniture-quality look, incorporate beadboard or shiplap for farmhouse charm, or install corbels and brackets for architectural interest.
Applied Door & Drawer Molding
Flat-panel cabinet doors can be upgraded with applied molding to create the appearance of raised panels or shaker-style details. This cost-effective technique delivers the look of expensive custom cabinet doors without requiring a full replacement.
Base Molding & Toe Kick Trim
Decorative base molding finishes the bottom of lower cabinets, creating visual continuity with your kitchen's baseboard trim. Upgraded toe kick trim adds a polished detail that completes the custom cabinet appearance from top to bottom.

Decorative Cabinet Molding FAQs
Get answers about adding decorative trim and molding to your South Denver kitchen cabinets.
Absolutely. Crown molding, light rail trim, and decorative details are the hallmarks of custom cabinetry. These architectural elements create the polished, high-end appearance that distinguishes custom kitchens from builder-grade installations. Combined with professional painting or staining, your cabinets will have the sophisticated look of expensive custom work.
No, crown molding on cabinets is not outdated when the style fits the rest of the kitchen. Simple, clean-lined crown molding can make cabinets feel polished, built-in, and timeless, while more ornate profiles may work better in traditional kitchens. The key is for the design to feel intentional.
Crown molding delivers exceptional value. It's one of the most impactful visual upgrades you can make, creating instant elegance while closing awkward gaps between cabinets and ceilings. The cost is minimal compared to the dramatic improvement in your kitchen's overall appearance and the custom, finished look it provides.
Yes! Applied molding transforms flat-panel doors into the appearance of raised panels or shaker-style details. We install decorative trim directly onto door faces, then paint or stain everything together for a seamless custom look—all for a fraction of the cost of new cabinet doors.
The cost to put crown molding on cabinets depends on the size of your kitchen, the amount of molding needed, the style of trim selected, and whether it is being added as part of a larger cabinet painting or staining project.
