Crown molding is a decorative architectural element installed where the wall meets the ceiling in a home. Crown Molding can lead to increased home value and a positive ROI depending on how much you have invested in the project.

Many homeowners want easy projects that will increase their resale price, and you can do that by adding crown molding. Including it in a room can make your paint color pop, and sometimes make the room look larger. Crown molding is especially desirable in older homes, where it can cover ceiling corners that crack over time. The elegance of crown molding makes it an excellent cover-all. 

You can put crown molding in any room. But if you only plan to incorporate it into a few rooms, choose rooms that could use an extra layer of detail. We suggest focusing on the: 

  • Master bedroom and bathroom
  • Kitchen
  • Living room
  • Dining room

Adding crown molding to just a few rooms is sufficient to boost your home value. Small details make a difference when you sell your home, and crown molding is one of the little touches potential buyers look for.

Does Crown Molding Have a Positive ROI?

The return on investment for crown molding is usually positive, though it depends on how you use your money. If you hire a professional to install crown molding, your ROI may turn negative. Crown molding can be quite difficult to install, and professional installation can start at hundreds per room. Even if you add it to just three or four rooms, the project could cost thousands. 

Do-it-yourself options may help you avoid the cost of hiring a professional. If you want an easy DIY project to give your house more polish before putting it on the market, crown molding presents the perfect opportunity. While buying crown molding from a store and installing it with no guidance is difficult, you can purchase a kit that includes clip-on molding corners and connectors, such as ours. The installation is a snap. 

Crown molding functions like a fresh coat of paint — it gives a room new energy and life. Adding crown molding can make a world of difference for potential buyers entering your home for the first time. You will get the best return on investment if you install the molding yourself.
