"My overall experience with Humberto was nothing short of fantastic! We had an emergency when a large tree branch fell and put a large hole in our roof. He was here within hours to tarp and plank the hole, and put on a new, beautiful roof the very next day (including new gutters and some siding repairs). The cost was lower than most estimates I got and the work exceeded all expectations. Very highly recommend."

"Window King handled a one window replacement as though it was a big bucks job. Their response time, commitment, and team work was flawless. The installation is perfect and exceeded my expectation because of the outside work involved. Window King is the way to go."

"The fix was straightforward, had to replace the AC blower unit motor. Garmer handled the task expertly and with great customer service, despite them discovering an unusual screw installation from the prior owner which caused the housing removal to take a bit longer than they initially anticipated and first quoted (which, if you've owned a home, tends to happen somewhat often as equipment of this magnitude usually can be more complex than they first look). The only thing I would suggest is that they re-address their pricing. This job ended up costing around $1,200 to change a blower motor where the part itself probably was no more than a few hundred (final bill was delivered upon completion) - was estimating maximum $1,000 given their guidance throughout the job. At a certain point, it may make sense to give the customer a flat project fee as opposed to remain on hourly labor billing as the crew is trying to re-assess to avoid customer sticker shock and alienating future work. I respect the crew, the work they did, and value their labor, but believe the pricing is high. I would like to stress that I would recommend and would consider using them again simply because of their expertise, customer service, and responsiveness as they do great work, but would be more critical of the price ahead of time."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Bay Shore, NY

Wainscoting is decorative paneling that covers the lower part of a wall for style and protection. Beadboard is a type of wainscoting made of long vertical planks with small raised beads between each board. You’ll see it on walls and ceilings when homeowners want added depth and charm. Both options work indoors or outdoors; beadboard pieces lock together with tongue-and-groove joints, while similar styles, such as shiplap, rely on a square rabbet joint.

The best rule of thumb for wainscoting is to stop the panels at about one-third of the wall height. In a room with a nine-foot ceiling, that’s roughly three feet up. Sticking to this ratio keeps the room balanced, lets plenty of wall color show above the trim, and delivers a polished, timeless look.

Wainscoting can make a room look smaller if the room has low ceilings. The same rule applies to wainscoting as it does to painting any space: to make the room look larger and more open, paint it a light color, such as white or cream. Since beadboard incorporates vertical lines in the paneling, this style of wainscoting is ideal for those wanting to make a room appear larger than it is.

Technically, you can panel any room, but wainscoting shines in open areas, such as a foyer or a tall-ceilinged bathroom. Skip it in small rooms with low ceilings—panels can make tight spaces feel boxed in. Open-concept layouts without clear stopping points along the walls are also tricky, as the trim requires a distinct beginning and end.

Removing existing wall panels before installing wainscoting involves distinct demolition efforts. The cost to hire a professional for demo work is $1.50 per square foot. If the underlying drywall requires replacement after panel removal, an additional fee of $1.60 to $2.35 per square foot is incurred. Completing these tasks properly ensures a sturdy foundation and a flawless finish.
