Using Overly Elaborate Crown Molding

Decorative crown molding can be a fantastic way of adding elegance and value to your home. But installing too much of it can be rather expensive.

Overly detailed crown molding can be challenging and costly to install, frequently taking longer than expected due to its intricacy. Also, depending on the style you want, it might not look good with the existing layout of your home.

The cost of installing elaborate crown molding varies. But generally speaking, and depending on the details, it can range anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars to several thousand.

In some cases, if the renovation is incredibly complex, it could require hiring a professional builder or carpenter who may charge an arm and a leg for their services. Some people have even said they’ve spent over $10,000 on intricate crown molding designs.

So we recommend using all that cash on smaller, more practical projects in your home, like updating appliances.
