Curtain Rod Installation Costs
Different curtain rod materials, from basic aluminum to premium brass, affect the price of installation.
The type of wall—drywall, plaster, or brick—can influence installation difficulty and costs.
Larger rooms may require longer or multiple curtain rods, impacting overall expenses.
| Factor | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| Basic curtain rod installation | $50 - $150 |
| Premium material curtain rods | $150 - $300 |
| Multiple windows or large spans | $200 - $500 |
| Wall type complexity | $75 - $200 |
| Custom curtain rod designs | $200 - $600 |
| High ceiling installation | $100 - $250 |
| Removal and disposal of old rods | $30 - $80 |
| Additional hardware or brackets | $20 - $50 |
Additional considerations include the complexity of the installation, such as whether brackets need to be mounted into studs or drywall, and any special hardware required for unique window shapes or decorative styles. Costs can also escalate if removal and disposal of existing hardware are needed, or if custom fabrication is involved. Consulting with a professional ensures that these variables are accounted for, leading to a smoother installation process and a more precise estimate of total expenses.
Installing inside mount curtain rods involves precise measurements and specialized brackets, which can influence the cost.
Adding decorative finials or end caps increases material costs and installation time.
Heavy-duty rods require reinforced mounting and often higher-quality hardware, affecting overall pricing.
