"Great job! I had disassembled an exterior touchpad-type of door lockset for what seemed would be an "easy" DIY adjustment to a loose thumbturn. After encountering some unexpected difficulty, I disassembled some more parts. Realizing that the thumbturn had no adjustibility, I proceeded to reassemble the unit, but I did it wrong so that the key got stuck in the cylinder. After some more fiddling and disassembly, the key cylinder totally fell apart and became a pile of tiny springs and pins -- the "tumblers" that fit to the pattern of the key. (Google images for "5-pin key cylinder" and look at the complexity of this little thing!) It seemed I had gone beyond "the point of no return". So, I called High Speed Lock expecting to pay for a new cylinder and key. Erik arrived on time, looked at my collection of parts, and said he could rebuild the cylinder. After a few minutes in his truck, he reinstalled all the original parts, except for new springs and pins inside the original cylinder housing. The original key still works, and the lock is back to normal. For a very reasonable price, I got great service and learned a few lessons too."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.
