Window treatments are one of the most expressive and elegant parts of your home, a place where you can truly express your individual tastes and style as a homeowner. Whether you prefer more traditional, old-fashioned curtain and drapes which lend a touch of elegance and class, or cleaner and modern window shutters, nothing speaks as loudly as how you decorate your windows.

Nothing adds a touch of definition and class to your home like crown moulding. Whether you're looking for a contemporary, no-nonsense style or something more classical, crown moulding is often an overlooked but vital part to your interior decoration that can be the elegant finishing touch. While there are many fabricated options out there, some homeowners have such a customized look that they simply can't get a premade solution that works for what them. In these cases, hiring a custom crown moulding company to do the woodwork would be the best way to go.

Most mouldings, decorative or utilitarian, all work the same way: they add definition and depth to structural parts of a home by covering up joints, using their shape to cast surfaces in specific gradients of shadow. The effect tends to be much more subtle than simply painting the surface, and often are considered a staple of interior design even in contemporary styles. Mouldings tend to be highly complex, as they require very specific millwork in order to get the proper effect, and as such there are not many hobbyists or do-it-yourselfers in the world of crown moulding.

That's where Masters of Crown comes in. Owned and operated by Ray Lopez, Masters of Crown has been providing top-notch moulding, custom woodwork and crown moulding installation in the Murrieta area for years. Mr. Lopez inherited the art from his father many years ago, and the two of them worked side by side throughout the lush Las Vegas strip in countless hotels and resorts to provide the most upscale looks and exquisite interior designs available. Now, Masters of Crown is ready to bring the same level of work and unique, personalized service to residents in Murrieta.

While a lot of homeowners tend to use their garages as storage spaces or even extra bedrooms, many people also like to keep their garages clean and organized. From tile flooring to storage shelves and more, there are numerous ways to get your garage in neat, presentable order. But none are quite as effective as garage cabinets, as they effectively add massive amounts of new-found storage space on your walls. Of course, garage cabinets come in all shape and sizes, and while the more budget-minded may prefer simple utilitarian cabinets, others may want something that is more inline with the rest of their interior decor.

There are many different kinds of pre-fabricated cabinets out there that can be economical, particularly if they're for a first set. However, pre-made garage cabinets will obviously lack the flexibility of getting them custom-made. From size, finish, and wood, there are many reasons why customized cabinets are the way to go. Since every homeowner is going to have a different set of tools and equipment in their garage, one size definitely does not fit all. In some cases, it may actually be more of a hassle to configure and adjust pre-made cabinets instead of getting them custom, and the end result may not even look as good!

Enter Masters of Crown, owned and operated by Ray Lopez. With over 20 years in all types of interior design and decoration, Ray has provided top-notch custom woodwork to clients in luxurious Las Vegas for many years and is now offering his services to the Murrieta area. Masters of Crown is able to get the best pricing on a vast selection of wood and materials, delivering the best quality work in a short time at rates that won't be beaten. No matter what scale your project is - whether you just need a single set of cabinets or are looking to redo the entire garage - Masters of Crown is willing to work with you each step of the way to deliver an end result to your complete satisfaction.

Masters of Crown is one of the few woodworkers in the Murrieta area that can claim decades of experience and expertise. Owner and operator Ray Lopez has been in the trade for most of his life, and has worked on luxurious Las Vegas hotels down to custom woodwork and more for local homeowners. When it comes time to customize your home, nothing beats the appeal of a brand-new set of cabinets in the kitchen or a beautiful piece of wooden furniture in your room. Getting something pre-fabricated just doesn't have the perfect size or look, so when you need that little something extra to put the finishing touch in your home, give us a call.

We work with a large variety of woods and materials in order to provide the best possible quality of work for our clients. When you approach us with a project, we take it very seriously and will start initial planning and design as soon as possible. We work with you throughout the entire process to ensure that the end result is to your specifications. With so many different types of wood and stains out there, getting the perfect look can be difficult, particularly for the average homeowner who may not be familiar with the full range of materials needed. That's where we step in! We will be able to make recommendations for you and provide a solution that's not only economical but beautiful.

Be very careful when you work with other contractors! Not everyone locally has the knowledge that we do; in fact, most of them don't! Always ask for recent examples of work or a portfolio, and check locally for references from other customers. While some of the lower-priced bargain contractors may seem like a good way to go at first, having the end result be misaligned, poorly-built or flimsy ultimately just costs you more money. Getting the project done right the first time will not only save you money in the long run but be an investment that you'll be able to take with you for years to come.

Call us anytime to discuss your project so we can start working with you. We'd be more than happy to provide references and examples on request. We're available at 951-746-5246.

Masters of Crown is a complete home design company, and window treatments are just one of the many solutions we offer to our clients. From drapes and curtains to shutters and blinds, we have worked with many different types of treatments in all scales and sizes. Our years of experience comes from working in the finest hotels and resorts in Las Vegas, where we acquired impeccable sense for design and fashion. Now, we are ready to bring the best of high-class style to the Murrieta area at affordable prices that won't leave a dent in your wallet.

If your home was built in the past ten or twenty years, there's a very good chance that the window treatments that came with it are either very dirty or very outdated. With how rapidly interior design changes, the popular looks from years ago are usually no longer considered chic. Even if your treatments are still relatively modern, there are usually improvements that can be made, either in presentation or overall quality of the room they're in. Since the Murrieta area tends to be dusty and hot, the windows in a home need proper treatments to compensate.

A large part of what goes into appropriate window treatments comes from the orientation of the home and usage patterns. If your living room has windows that face the sun in the afternoon, blinds or shutters may help prevent excessive heat from leaking in. Or, if the living room is facing away from the sun and toward the street, the nearby traffic may bring in a lot of dust and would not be as well-suited for blinds which would require extra amounts of time to clean. Each and every home is different, and the mark of a good contractor is one who can break down your floorplan to provide the best recommendation possible for your budget.

With the years of experience we have, you simply can't go wrong when you work with us. We work with all types of window treatments in all shapes and sizes, as well as custom orders at warehouse prices.
