An estimate for planning a takeoff — always confirm against your actual plans and field measurements before ordering. Crown runs the full perimeter; baseboard is reduced by your door openings; casing uses the per-opening figures above.
How it counts
Three scopes, counted the way we bid.
Baseboard, crown, and casing each measure differently. Here’s the logic behind the numbers — the same way we’d run a takeoff off your plans.
Baseboard
Runs the room's perimeter, less the door openings — base dies into the casing, it doesn't cross a doorway. We subtract your door-deduction width per door.
Crown
Runs the full perimeter, uncut by doors and windows. The ceiling line is continuous, so crown is the cleanest of the three to count.
Casing
Counted per opening, not by wall. A three-sided door wrap and a four-sided window each carry a rule-of-thumb linear foot figure you can tune to your profile and opening sizes.
