For anyone who has done crown molding—does this sound insane?
6" crown for 12x17 dining room. It's beautiful and detailed, but nothing ornate (no filigree or pearl or federal etc.).
$1000. installed.
Am I out of touch or is that HIGH?
I will say this carpenter does amazing work. He's done work for us before and is a true craftsman. And I like the confidence of knowing who is doing the work and that it won't be parceled out to a day laborer, but it still feels way high to me.

Sounds high to me... but we had ours done 3 yrs ago and I live in FL.
New 6" crown AND base molding in:
LR/DR
Kitchen
Office
Master
Foyer
All big rooms... installed and painted in 3 days (2 guys).
Total cost including labor was about $2k, we negotiated it down from about 2800.

we redid our entire entry way, done to the studs, re sheet rocked, up the stairs and in the upstairs hallway. we did six inche crown moulding, base moulding and box moulding all the way . About 4000...so yes I think it's ridiculously high

Too high, unless your DR has an odd size that needs lotsa complex cuts, I don't see why it should cost so much.
I'll ask the guy how long it'll take him. If it's a day job (which I can't imagine it being more than), $1000 for a day's work is alot of moolah, even including material costs.

Re: For anyone who has done crown molding—does this sound insane?
yes, that's a lot- I think we paid $600 for the molding for our similarly sized living room.... I'm not sure how much the labor was because it was part of a bigger project- but no way it was $400
