Established in 2010. Since 1983 I have worked in the construction industry.

We bring a broad range of experience to any of your home repair or improvement needs. We are a small, locally owned business with a large database of associates. Do you have projects you have been meaning to get to "someday" or others that have been on your "Honey do" list for too long? No job too small. Turn your "To Do List" into a DONE LIST! Let us help.

"A complete joke of a company. They tried charging me almost 1000 bucks to install two pieces of used lumber using my ladder because they weren't prepared for the job. They were severely underquoted the project to get the bid then changed to a time and materials. I accepted with the intent they would be prepared for the job. They informed they would be there at 8 am showed up late. Everyone was one the phone while "on the clock." There clock started when they started work in the morning. No materials at jobsite the day of. No plans of the repair other than a brief discussion. After I kicked them out of the job . The carpenter at least calls back asking to pick up his things. Meanwhile the estimator trespassed without even calling to take their things (which I would have allowed if they at least called). Has the audacity to take pictures of the work they didn't do and try to charge me for it. A complete joke that further cements their lack of preparedness and communication towards the job"

Professional installation in an average-sized room (approximately 150 square feet) typically requires one to two full workdays. Larger spaces or projects involving texture removal may extend to three or four days. Additional time may be needed for painting or staining if not included in the initial installation. Weather conditions can affect drying times for adhesives and finishes, potentially extending the overall project timeline.
Beadboard features narrow vertical planks with rounded ridges ("beads") running between grooves, creating a traditional, detailed appearance. Shiplap consists of wider horizontal boards with overlapping edges that create distinctive shadow lines between panels. Beadboard offers a more formal, classic aesthetic often associated with cottage or Victorian styles, while shiplap provides a more contemporary or rustic look popular in farmhouse and coastal designs.
Beadboard can work well in humid environments when appropriate materials are selected. Vinyl or PVC beadboard offers superior moisture resistance for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other high-humidity spaces. Traditional wood beadboard requires thorough sealing with moisture-resistant paint or clear finishes to prevent warping or mold growth. MDF beadboard generally performs poorly in damp locations and should be avoided in these applications.
Beadboard can be installed directly over popcorn ceilings provided the existing texture is firmly attached and the ceiling structure is sound. However, testing for asbestos is essential for popcorn ceilings installed before the 1980s. Professional texture removal costs $1.30 to $2.50 per square foot, while asbestos remediation runs significantly higher at $3 to $7 per square foot. Direct installation over popcorn texture may affect the final appearance and requires careful planning for fixture integration.
Regular maintenance involves gentle dusting with a soft brush attachment on your vacuum or a microfiber duster to prevent dirt accumulation in grooves. For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution appropriate for your beadboard material. Avoid excessive moisture, particularly with wood or MDF installations. Painted beadboard may require occasional touch-ups or repainting every 5-7 years, while stained wood might need resealing periodically to maintain its protective finish.
