As the nation’s largest full-service exterior home remodeler, we are backed by over 1,000+ Angi Super Service awards and more than one million happy customers. Why? Because we treat each job as an audition. An opportunity to prove ourselves to you. And the results speak for themselves. So make your home all it was meant to be with our unrivaled exterior services. Contact us today for a free, no obligation estimate on replacement windows, roofing, siding, doors, or attic insulation.
"TLDR: pressured sales pitch, very expensive, sloppy work, and a month later they have stood me up 3 times and not fixed any of their mistakes. Here was my experience with PHRG. They have an excellent sales team. They probably exaggerated any minor issues we had with our roof, but we knew we were due for a replacement. They have an extensive sales pitch about the training their crews receive, the materials they use, and their warranty. They were able to offer roof intake ventilation which I needed and didn't have time to do myself. Their sales rep was knowledgeable and it seemed like they were selling a quality product and service. A few red flags during the sales pitch - they don't have their own crews. PHRG sub contracts out roofing work and they are really just a sales office. Red flag #2 - they told me they would install ventilation whether or not I already had it. Adding additional ventilation to a properly ventilated roof is unnecessary and not correct if your intake and exhaust ventilation is already proper. This should be a dead giveaway that they are just up-selling things you don't need. Red flag #3 was the classic high pressure "if you don't sign today" tactic, and then dropping %15 off our price when we said no. They day of the install, the crew showed up 2 hours early with absolutely no warning and in a van marked for a completely different roofing company. The foreman barely spoke English and seemed to be the only one of the entire crew that did. Halfway through the install I had to remind him to remove an old vent and cut another hole for a new vent. I was extremely clear about these requests with the salesperson. After my reminder they still left the new vent completely disconnected inside my attic and used the complete wrong style vent. This vent connects to my kitchen range hood and they used a vent meant for attic ventilation which lets outside air into my kitchen! There are numerous shingles that have not sealed, have very obvious gouges or tears, are missing asphalt granules, and left an exposed nail un-caulked. They did not block off my gable vent after the installation. Leaving a gable vent open with eve and ridge ventilation is improper. So, they either don't know better, or don't care about proper attic ventilation. When installing the counter flashing, they failed to remove old caulking and used clear (not color matched) caulking instead. Apparently they are required to use this specific caulk by GAF but it was installed very sloppily and sticks out like a sore thumb. They spray painted several of my vent stacks without asking me. The paint is runny and looks absolutely terrible in addition to getting over-spray on the shingles. They also scratched my brand new vinyl fence with their wheelbarrow. They later fixed this with some paint thinner when I pointed it out, but there is a theme of carelessness here. At the end of the day I refused to sign the completion of work paper. They have scheduled and failed to show up on 3 separate occasions to fix their install! Total waste of time and money."

Family owned and operated since 1944, Wallside sells directly to the homeowner, manufacturing and installing its own products. With a factory/showroom located in Taylor, Mich., the vinyl window manufacturer services two thirds of the lower peninsula of Michigan and northwest portions of Ohio.
"Had a couple windows installed on Tues. June 20th. The screen on one was ripped, the installer said they would put a order in right away and have it out this week. There was no signoff's on work. Some of the caulk jobs around the windows are a little sub-par for my liking. Not the best quality work. Called the office for clarification on when my screen would be here this week. They had no knowledge of it, and it had to be ordered. Now it'll be July 8th before they can get out here. Had used their competitor (Hansons) for my last house. The comparison between the two is much different. Will probably go back to Hansons for the rest of the house here."

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.
