- Today I’m building a coffered ceiling in my family room. This is a medium to hard diy project if you have never done this type of carpentry work before, however with my guidance and your hard work, you can do this. This is a major home improvement. Enjoy the video!

Very, very cool Anthony!!! At work for another 2 hrs. & just binging older videos. And... office manager makes a cameo appearance LOL. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Wow man....that came out amazing. Jo with the cameo...LOL...
My wife is going to go nuts when she sees that ceiling next time we are over.
Lol, she wanted the ceiling, and I needed a helper 😂
Lord knows where you get your energy?Great video!!
Cool!! Nice Job buddy I like the ending with the 🐕 dogs. So cool
Great job! Wish you lived closer, I have been eyeballing one of my ceilings for this, love coffered ceilings. Great call on the crown.
Anthony you never disappoint. Great video.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying the content!
Looks killer man, I just built a fireplace/tv wall craftsman style in my new home and am about to do the ceilings just like this. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼
Very impressive. Excellent job👍. Loooovvvve it
Nice work, I love a coffered ceiling. Great tips too sir. Thank you for sharing!
Nice job,quality stands out.
Looking good Anthony!
Looks great. Nice work.
Looks great.
That looks awesome
Very nice work. Great job.
That came out dope
Dude, this is an amazing job!!
keep share good thing sir
Turned out great!! Quite a big undertaking, but you nailed it. Well done.
The editing of the video footage was just as hard laboring as doing the actual ceiling work lol. There was a lot of video but I didn’t have enough space on the computer to get it all in.
Fabulous job! Can you come to Buffalo and work with me on a 1940 Tudor? 😂. You offered wonderful, helpful hints...very appreciated!
Looks terrible, absolutely beautiful job.
Have you considered cutting the crown moulding on the flat using bisecting angle instead of holding it at that angle?
I don’t cut on the flat because it’s much slower. Too much movement of the saw having to bevel it each way and swing it side to side every time you have to make a cut.
Nested position I’m showing here is the fastest and easiest way.
Not sure if you just ca glued the inside crown molding corners. But stapling them with upholstery stapler is a nice way.. back stitching
Yes I have seen that done and it is a great technique but I don’t have a pneumatic upholstery stapler, only a narrow crown stapler and that just shoots the staple right through it
Looks great .. Do you feel this coffered depth would work in 9Ft ceilings? I'm thinking of doing this in my home study/office. Tnx
These ceilings are just over 10 feet.
6 inches down was the perfect depth. It doesn’t make the room feel smaller at all. My best advice to you is to make a model of it(actual size you want) like I showed in the beginning of the video and hold it up on the ceiling. Have someone look at it and then have them hold it up there for you to see. This will give you a much better visual of whether or not you want to go a little shorter. Remember, if you’ve never done this before and you think you may not get all the joints perfect and all your spacing right and square, the closer down you come to someone’s line of sight, the mistakes will be much more visible.
Awesome job! Did you consider 8 inches coffered width as your room is pretty big? Also would it be easier to nail/screw using 2x6 stud to build the top pieces?
With the projection of the crown molding and the width of the box beams, the total width is almost 15 inches. If I made the box beams 8”, the overall with the crown projection would be too wide
Great Job. What did you do on the transition between the other room. Did you go flush or did you continue with the reveal. Also, how do you like the fence you have on the saw.
Thanks. I continued the reveal for the transition for a balanced look. I love the miter saw extension wings and wish I could link it in the description but Amazon doesn’t sell it anymore for some reason.
Looks great.
Is that just a typical 8' ceiling?
Considered doing some coffer in our house but was afraid it would make the ceiling feel too low if we did ours which is 8'.
Gonna be keeping an eye on you. You do nice work 👏
Thank you and the ceiling is a actually slightly over 10 feet high
@@AnthonyScolaro1 thanks for that man.
Yeah definitely on a 10' .
Once again looks awesome.
👍👍👍👌❤❤❤
Looks great, what colors are you going to use?
Thanks, Going white to match the rest of the trim throughout the house. Not sure about the wall yet.
@@AnthonyScolaro1 my wife will make me paint the ceiling white and the crowns grey. She has already that planted seed from watching your video.
This is about the space of what my new home will be in the living room. How much will the lumber alone cost total for the complete job?
Depends where you live, and what type of crown you choose, here in New York the materials were roughly $2,200
Nice job. What are the box sizes or the cell sizes? What’s the crown size?
The crown is 4 & 5/8”. The box sizes are roughly 65” on the outer sides and the middles are about 48”. This was due to the positioning of the A/C vents and pot lights. Those can be moved and all the boxes can be made equal sizes if desired. I like the variation and chose not to move the vents.
how did you handle a situation as the drywall not being flat on the wall near the top?
Watch my “box beam ceiling” video, I explain and show exactly how to handle that. I was pretty lucky on this one because the walls were almost perfect and at the top, even if they were out a little, the crown molding covered it all.
Anthony, to attach the primed pine on the bottom and sides, did you use a brad nailer? If so, what gauge was it? Sorry, for the questions. I'm working on my ceiling and have this paranoia about things falling down.
18 gauge brad nails, 2” long. Don’t worry, nothing will fall as long as you attached the strapping to the ceiling correctly. Also note that once to attach the side boards, that is what really locks everything in place. You will have nails going upwards and then sideways. If you are that worried, you can use a 16 gauge finish nailer, the nails are much thicker and have more of a head on them.
@@AnthonyScolaro1 Thank you so much!
Hello
Hello
Can you post a link to the extensions and stops you're using on the miter saw setup?
I tried but Amazon doesn’t carry them anymore so I don’t have a link. I can tell you they are made by a company called Fastcap
@@AnthonyScolaro1 Thanks!
How tall are your ceilings? I have 9 foot ceilings and wonder if i should do 1x6 beams like you and whether an 8 inch hang would be too much. What do you think?
This is a 9.5 foot ceiling. You can always make the box beams smaller but make sure you take that into account when you choose a crown molding.
If the ceiling is not flat and you cut all strapping blocks the same , wouldn’t the bottom board be wavy?
Pay attention to why I use a spacer block to create a reveal with bottom and the side boards. If the reveal is even all the way across, it will eliminate any look of a wave. That is also why you don’t put the side boards up against the ceiling either. I’m pretty sure I explained it in the video. Also, if your ceiling is so out of flat, you can either shim the nailer boards or mud the ceiling.
@@AnthonyScolaro1 ok thanks for the response. The ceiling looks great!
@@jeffburnette6810 thank you!, I hope I was able to address your question.
Fantastic job man but please wear some eye protection. Everyone always thinks it won’t happen to them until it does.
Hello Anthony
I just watched bunch of your videos. Can i hire you to build coffered ceiling and are you in Atlanta. Please reply......thanks
Sorry, New York.
@@AnthonyScolaro1 Thanks for the reply. God bless.
