How to Get Started with Arch Building

Many years ago, before Archways Made Easy hit the scene, the process of building custom arches was a chore. If a job required anything more than one or two archways, it would not only be extremely time consuming, but the job would also end up being crazy expensive. After all, time is money, right?

Because we’ve simplified what can be an overwhelming endeavor, we’ve become the go-to source for just about everyone’s arch building needs. So, let’s just say we’ve had a lot of experience with arch building. We’re often asked for advice about the whys and hows of adding arches to a home. So, here’s a handy guide that should help you navigate the curvy world of arch building.

Why Build Arches?

That’s a good question, but we often ask “why not?” Okay, so maybe you want some sharp edges in the home. We won’t go creating arches willy-nilly, but keep in mind that they add a custom feel and an air of opulence to any structure. Arches break up the monotony of a boring square room, adding texture and interest to an atmosphere that was otherwise flat. So, instead of asking yourself why, maybe you should start focusing on the more appropriate question about arch building: How.

If you’re a new contractor, congratulations on a fine career choice and welcome to the club. We like to say that there are two ways to build arches. There’s the easy way and there’s the hard way. Which would you prefer? If you chose the path of least resistance, we can definitely help. If you chose the other path, well, you’re on your own (sorry!).


Okay, so down to business – the easy way. You first have to determine where you want to start arch building. Maybe it’s at the main point of entry to a new home, or maybe it’s to add interest to the walls in a major remodel. Once you have your space figured out, measure it. Then, measure it again. Send us your desired arch measurements, we’ll need height, width and rise, and we’ll do the arch building for you. That’s right: We do the arch building, so you don’t have to.


After we start the arch building process, you’re well on your way to making a major impact in your chosen space. We’ll deliver the arch along with some step-by-step instructions, and you’re ready to install. It’s as simple as that. You’ve just added arch building to your portfolio.
