T.J.’s Chimney Sweep was established in 1979 by Tim J. My goal was to provide a second income for my family, but I also wanted to get away from working in a factory. This was right at the time when the old oil embargo was well under way and the resurgence of wood stoves was taking place. I started working weekends sweeping chimneys. Back in those days all I had to learn from was a kit with a powerful soot sweeper, brushes and a study manual to help me along the way. I soon got laid off from the factory, so chimney sweeping, here I come! Trying to get my name out there was difficult because I had no experience in advertising or running a business. However, I got in with a stove dealer in New Palestine, and by 1984 I had my first employee. I soon found out that a lot of chimneys were in need of repair and most brick layers did not want to bother with a small repair job. So in 1986, I went to an Indian Reservation in South Dakota to learn the basics of chimney repairs. In the meantime, I also discovered that there was an organization of chimney sweeps called the National Chimney Sweep Guild that I joined. After taking a chimney sweep test, I also became certified. By 1990 I now had a full time employee and also helped found the Indiana Chimney Sweep Guild where I made some good friends and fellow sweeps who followed a good code of ethics. In 2004, I started selling wood stoves and inserts as well as gas inserts. We used to have a showroom at my property, along with my office, which was available to view by appointment only. In October of 2011 we moved our office and showroom to a bigger location at 866 South State St, Greenfield, Indiana. Here is it 2015, and I have my son, who is a journeyman brick layer and co-owner, along with 3 full-time technicians, and last but not least, Janell and Susie, who run the office and hearth shop. We just remodeled our showroom and expanded our warehouse. I never thought I would make it this far, but together, we make an awesome team and it will only get better from here! Stop in and check us out!!

"The price they quoted for the service call did not include 2 of the fireplaces even though I asked for all three to be inspected. The tech did a great job but they did not make the price clear before I booked the service. When I called about it the person on the phone said that it had to be reviewed before they could quote the other 2 fireplaces however I was told there is a standard price for that? She was not upfront and did not offer assistance. Which is it, can they or can they not quote an estimate for the service call on the phone? They charged much more then the estimate and was not honest how they would charge for the service call. It was almost twice what was quoted."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Fortville, IN

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.
