"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"I have made many mistakes in paint color in the past, and really wanted to get this right. I asked for a color consultation first, to select the right color to paint the fireplace. LeeAnn was very personable on the phone and within a few days visited the home and suggested the perfect colors for both the fireplace and the mantel. Within a few more days she and an assistant completed the work. I believe it took two days due to preparation and then a second coat of paint. It looks perfect, and I love how it freshens up the room. I'm so glad that I asked for help on this project. I will definitely call them again! They were pleasant, timely, professional, and clearly talented at color selection and painting."

"I signed a contract with this one man company for a 5 figure bathroom remodel on March 17, 2018. He promised it would be a two to four week job. He also told me he had established "crews" that were the best in the business. When the job finally started after two delays the first two sub contractors showed up and quit before starting because of a dispute they had with him over "money". When I contacted the subs and asked them to return they told me they would be happy to if I could work with them directly but that they would never work with him again. I knew I was in trouble at that point. When he found new subs off of craigslist or Facebook marketplace (not what we agreed to) they finally got most of the job done in about 2 months. But they installed the tile backer board incorrectly and the grout kept breaking up. They came back and took out tile and screwed in the backer board but he had ordered the wrong tile so it did not match the rest of the floor. He has now delivered the wrong tile three times. He will go weeks without returning phone calls and his voice mail box is always full. He will not respond to text messages. His main counter top fabricator has refused to do further work for him but they did do a great job for me. I have been trying to get my defective tile replaced for six months. He has promised time and again to come do it but always has an excuse. A month long custody battle had him "at court" every day causing one delay. Then he left for Disney World and promised to be here to fix it on the Monday he returned. Have not heard from him for two weeks after calling and texting every day. There has been excuses and broken promises for six months. This is a classic "dog ate my homework" situation. Someone else is always to blame. Subsequent to hiring him and during the course of the job he bragged to me and his subcontractors one day that he had a run in with some local policemen over a custody issue and he showed us the altercation on the internet. He is very proud of it. I have attached a link so you can view for yourself and form your own opinion. youtube.com/watch?v=8bHk… Personally, had I seen this before signing the contract, I would have never done so. Seeing this, I decided to see if he had anything else on the internet. I subsequently found this link. givesendgo.com/GFQM In this link he posts that he is homeless and living out of his car and is asking for donations to his business through this religious website. He is a one man operation operating out of his car and has no office. He asked for half of the contract amount up front. Had I known he had posted that he was living in his car I would have never done that. He will promise 24-7 service and will promise to be onsite for the job but that was not our experience. During the tile installation I had someone there for two days who did not speak English and when mistakes were made I had no way to communicate so it just had to be done over correctly the next day. He was also supposed to replace three table tops with the left over material from my counter tops as I purchased an entire sheet. He later told me his fabricator mistakenly threw it away. I contacted the fabricator who told me that was not the case. I used this fabricator for counter tops before and know them to be honest and reliable. You will seen in another review he did the same thing to another customer and blamed the same fabricator. I told Travis I would not post negative reviews if he would just complete the job as promised. It's almost 8 months later and I still have an uncompleted job with faulty workmanship that has to be redone. He is nowhere to be found. I just hope this helps others make an informed decision."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Elizabethtown, NC

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.
