A new home in a Fontana housing development breaks from the herd

If you have ever walked through a model home in a new home development you’ve seen that the model homes always have elaborate woodwork including crown moulding, coffered ceilings, wainscot and paneled wall treatments as well as custom built in cabinetry. And by comparison, the new homes are barren with simple floor coverings, walls that lack built in cabinetry and usually windows, doors and walls that have no trimwork. The reason is simple economics. Woodworking details cost the builders money, and installing these custom details takes time and skilled labor. But, nearly every new home benefits greatly by adding crown moulding, and in my opinion its one of the most valuable upgrades you can make because crown moulding changes the architectural look of a home’s interior. Instead of plain borderless walls, crown moulding gives a refined crisp appearance. It breaks cookie cutter homes our of their generic look and adds refinement and personality.
