"CHI has done an excellent job for me and I recommend them without hesitation for any remodeling work. Here's why: My job started out with an entry door replacement, evolved into a pantry expansion, and finally finished with an entire kitchen countertop replacement. I was very pleased with how they worked, the materials they used, and the attention to detail in the workmanship. And they were very responsive, communicated well and frequently, and checked in regularly to make sure the job was getting done right and on time. Each of their craftsmen were highly skilled, knew what they were doing, and didn't cut any corners. And each one was friendly and courteous to boot! I very much appreciated their attention to protecting the rest of the house, and they cleaned up the jobsite every single day at the end of their work day. Remodels are disruptive, no matter what. But this was about the least painful I've experienced. I have worked with a lot of contractors. CHI is a 10 out of 10."

Award winning. Additional contact name - Roger Gravelle. Additional email - roger@goodnewshi.com.
"We recently had Good News Home Improvement replace the siding on our house and paint the exterior, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and exceeded our expectations. Our Project Manager, Lon, was fantastic—his communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way and addressing any concerns promptly. Both the siding and paint crews were meticulous in their work and showed great care for our property. The siding crew even came up with a creative and beautiful solution to replace brick we had recently removed from the front of the house, which truly enhanced the final look. We received multiple bids for this project with like-for-like improvements, and Good News Home Improvement was by far the most competitive. They estimated two weeks for siding and 3-4 days for painting, but the siding was completed in under four days, and the painting took just under three—far faster than expected without compromising quality. If you're looking for a company that delivers high-quality work, excellent customer service, and great value, I highly recommend Good News Home Improvement!"

Wall paneling installation requires one to three days for a standard room, with timing dependent on the complexity of your chosen style and space dimensions. Basic installations like shiplap in a small room might be completed in a single day, while intricate designs like raised panels in larger areas could extend to several days.
Preparation work, including wall repairs or existing covering removal, adds to the timeline. Professional installers often complete projects more efficiently than DIY approaches, which might span multiple weekends.
Wall paneling covers entire walls from floor to ceiling, while wainscoting specifically refers to paneling that covers only the lower half of a wall. Originally developed to protect walls from chair damage and moisture, wainscoting now serves primarily as a decorative element that adds architectural interest.
Both treatments enhance room aesthetics, but wainscoting requires less material and therefore costs less than full wall paneling. Wainscoting prices range from $1 to $10 per square foot, making it a budget-friendly option for adding character.
Basic drywall installation costs $1.60 to $2.35 per square foot, making it less expensive than most wall paneling options that range from $1 to $40 per square foot. However, this initial price comparison doesn't tell the complete story. Drywall requires additional finishing steps, including taping, mudding, sanding, and painting, which add to the total cost.
When comparing finished drywall to simpler paneling styles, the price difference narrows considerably. In situations where existing walls have significant damage, paneling installation might actually prove more economical than extensive drywall repairs.
For most full-wall paneling installations, removing baseboards is recommended to achieve proper fit and alignment. This allows panels to sit flush against the wall and creates a more professional finished appearance. After installation, baseboards can be reinstalled or replaced with new trim that complements your paneling style.
For partial-wall applications like wainscoting, existing baseboards are often replaced with trim pieces specifically designed to coordinate with the paneling. Consulting with your installer about the specific requirements of your chosen paneling style will help ensure proper preparation and finishing.
