"First of all, we way overpaid for new French doors to replace our old French doors. We paid $6,000. Then they said that some brickwork needed to be done that was sagging. We hired a company they suggested could do it for $100. It cost $700, but that company did a great job. Then they complained about the job that company did. We had just installed brand new hardwood floors that they rough cut to fit the door in place leaving a huge gap that they filled with brown caulk. I wanted brass hinges. They informed me that they only had stainless steel. I told them I would prefer brass because everything else we have in the house is brass. They ended up giving me an antique brass but did not inform me that those would void my warranty. The hinges are completely rusted and they will not replace them because they said I asked for them. I did ask for them. But when they informed me they would rust I said to keep the others. They are very, very difficult to get a hold of. I've left messages and had phone calls returned weeks after placing the call. And the doors are ugly. I'm not terribly picky. We are do it yourselves, so I understand how projects work. These are not people I would want to do anymore work at my house. When I asked for replacement hinges they told me they would be $140 because I asked for the brass ones but never got back with me to provide them or order them for me. We spent A LOT of money on these doors to not be supported at all. And they have a lot less window than the old doors. Just not a good experience."

Wainscoting is decorative paneling that covers the lower part of a wall, adding style and protection. Beadboard is a popular type of wainscoting characterized by long, vertical panels with raised beads—small indentations or ridges between the planks. It's commonly used on walls and ceilings to add depth and character. Both wainscoting and beadboard are versatile options that allow you to enhance your indoor and outdoor spaces. Beadboard panels lock together with a tongue-and-groove joint, while shiplap—a similar style—uses a square-shaped rabbet joint.
The top of the wainscoting should be set at one-third of the room’s height. So, for a standard room with nine-foot ceilings, the wainscoting should extend exactly three feet. This precise measurement creates a balanced, elegant look that enhances overall room proportions and delivers a classic design appearance.
Wainscoting can make a room look smaller if the room has low ceilings. The same rule applies with wainscoting as it does with painting any space: In order to make the room look larger and more open, paint it a light color like 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.
While wainscoting can technically be used in any room, you’ll typically want to reserve it for a more open space, like a foyer where you want to make a dynamic first impression or a bathroom with tall ceilings. Avoid using wainscoting in small spaces with low ceilings. Open concepts like a living room and kitchen combination also don’t work well with wainscoting because there isn’t a clean break point along the walls.
Wainscoting can increase home value because it offers a refined design element that boosts buyer interest. Its elegant finish and distinctive style enhance interior aesthetics and generate a positive market impression, therefore confidently increasing the property’s overall desirability and resale value.
