Windows installation and replacement ( bow and bay as well ) Siding, Soffits, Fascia. Gutters, Doors, Glass Blocks

"Igor and his team were incredibly polite, efficient, and very competitive on price. They did an outstanding job converting our existing white trim windows to brand-new black trim, and the results look absolutely amazing. We couldn't be happier with how the windows turned out. The installation took place in the middle of a Chicago winter, and I can confidently say the windows are extremely efficient--our home has stayed warm and comfortable even when temperatures dropped below zero. Huge thanks to Igor and his team for being courteous, fast, affordable, and for truly helping make our house feel more like a home. Highly recommend!"

Flores Fencing is a family-owned business. With over 15 years of experience, we pride ourselves in giving our customers great deals and great quality! Currently servicing local areas and the Chicago land area.

"We had a section of our wrought iron damaged after a tree fell during a storm and needed about 40 feet of fence replaced. During the process we had numerous fence contractors come out for an estimate, tell us they could do the job, and would email an estimate with in 2 days...only to be ghosted afterwards. Not with Flores Fence. They came out, gave me a ballpark estimate and general window when they could do that job. Two days later, they delivered an estimate and would also complete the job within the original window they told me. Working with them was so easy, the installation went great and the fence looks amazing. We are very happy with the result."

The company was established in 1972 as P&J Heating and Air Conditioning by Pete and Jim. In the late 1980's, Air Wise and Best Heating (established in 1948) joined the family and American Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning was formed. The year 2003 is here and American Comfort joins a national franchise to offer clients a higher level of service. One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is here for the residential customers while maintaining the American Comfort name for the Commercial side of the business. It may seem like a lot of change, but, it was all done under one of the original owners. To this day, we are still family owned and operated.

"I’ve been using One Hour for years and they are great! No contractors - their technicians work directly for the company. Great customer service & communication!"

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Chicago, IL

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.
