Cornice Installation

$500

Surry Hills, New South Wales

30th Sep 2025

Please finish installing cornice in our kitchen renovation. It's an old terrace so the walls aren't perfectly level, we had difficulty doing it as a DIY (one panel is installed; see pics). We are not worried about cornice in the area above the cabinets/fridge; we can box that out. We will need to order more material ahead of the install date, the leftovers from last time got wet. We can also patch, caulk and paint ourselves, or can let you complete the full job for a reasonable price. My husband is quite handy and familiar with the trades industry; will want a reliable and experienced installer.

Aaron did a great job installing cornice throughout our kitchen, despite some tricky-to-access corners and the unlevel walls of an old terrace!
