We built a custom coffered ceiling in Lewis Center using poplar beams, shiplap panels, detailed trim work, and new recessed lighting. The ceiling was finished with Benjamin Moore Advance and Centurion 2K Poly for a smooth, clean look that perfectly matched the client’s inspiration photo.
This project was in Lewis Center off Old State and Orange Road. The homeowner had an inspiration photo they wanted matched exactly, so we built a full custom coffered ceiling from scratch using finger-joint poplar 1x6s, 1x8s, and 5¼” crown molding.
We started by leveling out the existing drywall, patching, and repairing everything so the beams would sit flat. The old lighting layout didn’t work for the new design, so we wired in four new can lights and got the electrical squared away before building anything.
Once the ceiling was prepped, we set the long beams first, then built and installed the smaller perpendicular boxes to get clean, even spacing throughout the room. After that, we installed all the crown molding, caulked every seam, filled the nail holes, and primed everything.
The ceiling was finished with Benjamin Moore Advance and Centurion 2800 Series 2K Polyurethane for a smooth, durable finish. The final result matched the inspiration photo perfectly and completely changed the feel of the room.
