Crown moulding adds elegance, character, and value to any home – but how much does it actually cost in 2025? Prices have shifted slightly over recent years due to material costs and labor rates. In this guide, the experts at JK Luxury Home Remodeling, serving Toronto and the GTA, break down the average crown molding installation costs for homeowners looking to plan their next project.
Factors That Affect Crown Mouling Costs
The total cost of crown molding installation depends on several variables — from material choice to property type and location. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what impacts pricing in Toronto and the GTA.
- Material Type
The choice of material plays the biggest role in overall price.
- MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard): Most Affordable and perfect for painted finishes
- Solid wood: Most durable and elegant but typically costs more due to material and staining.
- Plaster / foam with cement finish : Premium options that require more time and craftsmanship
2. Home Size and Ceiling Heights
The more linear footage required, the higher the total cost.
Homes with high or vaulted ceilings need more material and ladder time, which adds to labor costs.
Conversely, smaller rooms or condos often use narrower profiles to maintain balance and reduce pricing.
3. Design Complexity:
Simple crown profiles are easier and faster to install, while multi-layered or decorative designs require additional time and precision.
Each extra layer or corner adds complexity — and cost — but also provides a more luxurious look.
4. Property Type – Residential vs. Commercial
- Residential Properties: Usually cost less per foot, as installations focus on aesthetics and finish.
- Commercial Spaces: Often involve higher ceilings, larger square footage, and more safety requirements, leading to higher labor and equipment costs.
If your project is part of a new commercial build-out (restaurants, offices, etc.), expect pricing to be on the upper end of the range due to scale and complexity.
5. Home Type – House vs Condo
- Houses: Easier access and fewer restrictions make installation faster and more efficient.
- Condos: Costs can rise due to elevator access, tight hallways, limited work hours, and building regulations.
Additionally, most condo units have concrete ceilings, requiring specialized installation methods and adhesives instead of traditional nailing — a factor that affects both labor time and cost.
The total cost for MDF crown molding, including both material and installation, typically ranges from $8 to $12 per linear foot. Material prices alone can vary between $1–$2 per foot for standard profiles and up to $5–$6 per foot for more intricate or premium MDF designs.

The installation process for crown moulding can vary depending on the type of property. In condominiums, ceilings are often concrete, which means we can’t simply nail into them. Instead, we secure small blocks to the wall with strong adhesive and nails every 6–10 inches, creating a strong nailing surface for the crown moulding to be installed on. In residential homes with drywall ceilings, this step isn’t required, and the moulding can be fastened directly. For all projects, we use high-quality adhesives on inside and outside corners and finish the installation with 2″ brad nails for a seamless, professional result.
The cost of crown moulding installation depends on several factors, including the property type (residential home, condominium, or commercial space), since the installation process varies between each. Other considerations include the size of the crown moulding (ranging from 3 inches up to 9 inches), the material (MDF or wood), and the layout of the rooms. On average, crown moulding installation costs $8–$10+ per linear foot in Richmond Hill and the Greater Toronto Area.
