How much does crown molding installation cost?
The cost of crown molding installation depends on a number of factors. The
style of crown molding you would like, a simple crown molding or a more
elaborate crown molding. How much crown molding you would like, a one
piece or two pieces or even bigger built up crown moulding. Is the crown
molding going to be painted or stained. Stain grade crown molding is more
expensive than paint grade crown molding. The cost also depends on the linear
footage of the walls and how many inside and outside corners in each room,
(crown molding corners take the most work). The cost of crown molding
installation also depends on the ceiling height. Crown molding estimates are
free.
If you would like the molding painted please let us know. If you do not want us
to paint we will caulk and fill our nail holes the rest is up to the painter.
What is the average cost of crown molding?
The average cost of a one piece crown molding in an average sized with only
four corners and eight foot high ceilings would cost approximately
$225.00-$250.00 labor and materials included.
The estimate is for labor and materials (the materials are included),
how much are the materials?
The estimate is for labor and materials included. The material cost varies. I
purchase my materials at either one of the big box stores or at the local lumber
yard where most of the molding and millwork is a little less expensive. I do not
break down the cost into materials and labor. Why? Because does not convey
our other overheads. Please except our price you are free to get other estimates
for comparison purposes.
I already have the materials will you install them for me?
Yes I can give you an estimate for labor only however, you will save in the
long run by letting me purchase the materials because I don't mark up my
material cost. The majority of the cost is labor. Trim is not that expensive and
you don't need a whole lot of trim molding to finish out an entire room with
some basic crown molding or chair rail. Finish carpentry is labor intensive and
requires knowledge and experience for it to be done right.
What is the smallest job you will take on?
Two average rooms of crown molding is the smallest job we will take on. It is
best to get a couple of rooms done at a time if you can because materials still
have to be ordered and delivered and these costs stay the same regardless.
Do you paint the moldings and millwork you install?
We will paint the moldings and millwork a turn key installation if you require
that service however many homeowners take on the task themselves especially
these days! Generally the moldings we install such as crown moulding, chair
rail, baseboard and base cap used to construct shadow box wainscoting come
pre primed making it easier for painting.
If you have hired us to just install the molding and not install and paint,then you
or the painter you have hired painter are responsible for all filling,caulking,
sanding, priming and painting of the molding and this is reflected in the price.
How long does it take for a typical installation?
Smaller installations like one,two rooms of crown molding or chair rail or
simple shadow box wainscoting only take one to two days. Most Coffered
ceiling installations take about a week or so. Iron baluster installations take two
to three days depending on the size of the staircase. I can give you a better idea
of how long it will take to install your moulding and millwork and will include
that information in the estimate.
Where do you cut the molding and millwork?
We will cut the molding and millwork outside. If the weather is bad we would
ask to use your garage. There is not a lot of dust associated with the job and
we will shop vac and broom any dust or scrap pieces to leave the work area
clean. We will respect your home.
