Countryside is an award winning HVAC company in the western suburbs of Minneapolis. We provide great service, quality installations, and knowledgeable solutions for any situation. Our friendly staff, along with our technicians in the field make working with us an easy choice in selecting your heating and cooling contractor.

"The owners of Countryside Heating & Cooling completely lied about the Labor and Warranty for our HVAC System. During the sales process, the owner himself promised 5 years of labor, including 10 years for parts and service. They are not honoring that claim. At first sign of an issue with the system within days of installation, they stated that the system only had a one year labor warranty. We had to go back and forth countless times before the owner finally agreed to that. They also stated after the system was sold and installed that in order to keep their labor warranty, we would have to purchase an expensive monthly service plan to keep the labor side of the warranty. This was never disclosed in any documentation, or by word of mouth prior to or during the sale of the system. One year later, sure enough a part of the system is already broken and they refused to service it without purchasing their expensive monthly service contract, and the owners have not responded to any of the requests we have made for service. They also stated that in order to keep the parts warranty, we would be required to pay this service or Bryant corporate wouldn't honor our parts warranty. I called Bryant Corporate and opened a case with them. Both the initial rep and the rep escalation Manager assured me that was 100% untrue what Countryside stated, and my warranty was valid regardless of Countryside's demands for 'professional HVAC servicing'. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, even their own electrician during the install stated multiple times how their owner would consistently embellish the extend of the electrical work required. They don't even put any guidelines in the quotes for you, it's just the products and prices. Do yourselves a favor and go with a reputable HVAC company, not Countryside."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Excelsior, MN

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.
