Add depth, design, and craftsmanship to your space
A room with bare walls or an untouched ceiling can feel flat and unfinished. Whether you’re working on a home renovation or building out a commercial interior, the details matter. Architectural wall and ceiling treatments add warmth, depth, and personality, and they go a long way in shaping how a space feels.
At Soto Trim Company, we help Atlanta homeowners and commercial clients add lasting character with tailored wall and ceiling upgrades. From classic board and batten to bold coffered ceilings, every project we take on is designed to elevate both style and structure.
No shortcuts. No stock designs. Just custom craftsmanship that transforms blank surfaces into standout features.
hen walls and ceilings get the same design attention as floors and furnishings, the whole room comes together. These upgrades do more than just look good, they shape how people experience a space. Here’s why they matter:
Add Depth and Personality
Flat drywall gets old fast. Trim details, paneling, or woodwork bring dimension and draw the eye upward or outward, depending on your design goals.
Elevate Everyday Spaces
Living rooms, foyers, offices, and lobbies can all feel more upscale and intentional with the right ceiling lines or accent walls.
Protect and Reinforce
Wall treatments like wainscoting or wood paneling guard against scuffs and marks in high-traffic areas while adding a solid feel to the room.
Support Lighting and Acoustics
Strategic panel layouts or coffered ceilings can help define lighting zones and even dampen echo in open spaces.
Boost Curb Appeal Indoors
Well-crafted treatments add polish and visual value that stands out during resale or business walk-throughs.
No matter the building type or layout, our process keeps things organized and ensures nothing is left to chance:
We start by learning your goals, style preferences, and pain points. From there, we suggest treatment styles that enhance your layout while staying true to your vision.
From smooth MDF to stained hardwoods, we guide you through material and trim options that suit both your aesthetic and the intended use of the space.
Our team preps surfaces, marks layout lines, and plans all cuts in advance. We take extra care in rooms that are out-of-square or include tricky transitions.
We install each piece with tight seams, consistent spacing, and secure anchoring, whether it’s a full-room treatment or just an accent wall.
Caulking, sanding, and priming all happen in-house. We’ll also paint or stain on request, or leave the surface prepped if you’ve already got a painter on board.
Once the work’s done, we walk through everything with you to make sure the result hits the mark. If anything needs adjusting, we take care of it right away.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to commercial carpentry. We adapt our work to match the purpose and personality of your business.
Board and Batten
Vertical boards with raised strips create rhythm and texture, ideal for entryways, dining rooms, and stairwells.
Shiplap
Clean horizontal lines offer a modern farmhouse feel and work well in everything from bathrooms to commercial spaces.
Wainscoting
Classic and timeless, wainscoting adds elegance to formal rooms while protecting the lower third of your walls.
Coffered Ceilings
This grid-style ceiling adds drama and architectural presence to larger rooms like great rooms, offices, or conference areas.
Beadboard and Panel Molding
Traditional in feel, beadboard and decorative panel molding can be used on walls or ceilings to add interest without going over the top.
Accent Walls with Trim
Create bold or subtle focal points with trim-based geometric layouts, paint-friendly backdrops, or classic panel designs.
Everything Looks the Same
If every room in your home or office has blank white walls and smooth ceilings, it’s probably time to break up the monotony.
The Space Feels Cold or Incomplete
Ceilings are often overlooked, but when detailed, they bring warmth and cohesion to the entire space.
Rooms Feel Flat
Wall treatments add physical depth, which can make rooms feel larger, taller, or more layered, even with the same square footage.
You’re Renovating or Rebranding
If you’re refreshing your home or updating your commercial space, custom wall and ceiling work is an easy way to modernize the feel.
DIY projects always start with good intentions, but when it comes to custom wall and ceiling treatments, the results often fall short. These are the most common mistakes we’re called in to fix:
Misaligned Panels and Trim
One wrong measurement throws off the entire layout. We often see shiplap that slopes, batten boards that are uneven, or crown molding that doesn’t meet at the corners.
Improper Fastening
Nails too shallow, adhesive only, or no anchoring at all, these shortcuts lead to trim popping loose or entire panels shifting over time. We fasten everything securely with the right backing and spacing in mind.
Gaps, Cracks, and Inconsistent Seams
Precision cuts and tight joins are tough to get without pro tools. DIY jobs tend to show wide seams, cracked corners, and overfilled caulk lines that don’t blend in.
Low-Quality Materials
Big-box trim and panel kits are often made from soft materials that dent easily or warp over time. We use durable products that are made to last in both residential and commercial settings.
Skipping the Finish Work
Even well-placed trim can look amateur without proper prep. Missed sanding, poor caulking, and one-coat paint jobs are some of the biggest giveaways of rushed work.
Underestimating the Time Involved
What seems like a weekend task quickly turns into days of trial and error. Between layout, leveling, cutting, installing, and finishing, it adds up fast without the right crew and equipment.
When the goal is clean, high-impact design, DIY often leads to more patching than progress. If you’ve already started and need help salvaging a project, or want to skip the hassle altogether, we’ve got it covered.
We Build with Purpose
Every project is designed around how the space is used. We never push decorative upgrades that don’t serve a function.
Everything Is Done In-House
No guesswork, no delays. Our skilled crew handles the design, material prep, and installation so you can expect consistent results.
Custom Is Our Standard
From the layout to the materials, we tailor everything to your room. You’ll never get cookie-cutter panels or off-the-shelf looks.
Craftsmanship Comes First
We cut clean, install tight, and finish every piece with care. It’s how we turn basic rooms into beautiful ones, without relying on trendy tricks.
