"In the past, we’ve typically hired general contractors based on solicitations at our home. This has unfortunately resulted in more than a few misses. But we went through Angi this time and the pro we chose, Omar’s General Contracting, was definitely a hit. Omar was professional and communicative. His crew was great. On time, very tidy, reasonably priced, flexible, and a perfect finished product. We hired them on Sunday and they started on Monday. In two days, Omar and his crew were able to basically rebuild our entire eat-in kitchen ceiling following a large plumbing project. I honestly think it looks better now than it did before the work. Amazing. We wont be needing referrals for general contractors in the future. We’ve found our company. Thank you for the great referral, Angi and team."

Odd Jobs and Errands was started to help the local community. It was started because there are way too many businesses that are out there for the big jobs and the big money. What we do is take on the smaller jobs that businesses don't want to take on. By doing this we are able to help the little old grandma that cant make the trip to the grocery store, the disabled vet that can no longer cut their grass, the single mother who needs help setting up the swing set, and many more...

Professional installation in an average-sized room (approximately 150 square feet) typically requires one to two full workdays. Larger spaces or projects involving texture removal may extend to three or four days. Additional time may be needed for painting or staining if not included in the initial installation. Weather conditions can affect drying times for adhesives and finishes, potentially extending the overall project timeline.
Beadboard features narrow vertical planks with rounded ridges ("beads") running between grooves, creating a traditional, detailed appearance. Shiplap consists of wider horizontal boards with overlapping edges that create distinctive shadow lines between panels. Beadboard offers a more formal, classic aesthetic often associated with cottage or Victorian styles, while shiplap provides a more contemporary or rustic look popular in farmhouse and coastal designs.
Beadboard can work well in humid environments when appropriate materials are selected. Vinyl or PVC beadboard offers superior moisture resistance for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other high-humidity spaces. Traditional wood beadboard requires thorough sealing with moisture-resistant paint or clear finishes to prevent warping or mold growth. MDF beadboard generally performs poorly in damp locations and should be avoided in these applications.
Beadboard can be installed directly over popcorn ceilings provided the existing texture is firmly attached and the ceiling structure is sound. However, testing for asbestos is essential for popcorn ceilings installed before the 1980s. Professional texture removal costs $1.30 to $2.50 per square foot, while asbestos remediation runs significantly higher at $3 to $7 per square foot. Direct installation over popcorn texture may affect the final appearance and requires careful planning for fixture integration.
Regular maintenance involves gentle dusting with a soft brush attachment on your vacuum or a microfiber duster to prevent dirt accumulation in grooves. For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution appropriate for your beadboard material. Avoid excessive moisture, particularly with wood or MDF installations. Painted beadboard may require occasional touch-ups or repainting every 5-7 years, while stained wood might need resealing periodically to maintain its protective finish.
