What is the average cost to have crown molding installed?

,

I'm going to talk a little about the cost of crown molding. The average cost of crown molding varies from state to state with the cost of living. When it comes to crown molding most contractors will charge by the linear foot (Linear feet just means any distance or length measured in feet). Some contractors will charge by the corner. When I estimate for crown molding here in Richmond Virginia, I charge by the linear foot. My price for crown molding includes the material cost of the crown molding, and the labor cost of installing the crown molding. You can also get a price for painting the crown molding.

If your taking on the job yourself you can purchase the molding at a local Home Depot or Lowe's whichever you prefer or you could save yourself about 40 cents/linear foot if you find a local mill work/lumber yard.
