"The Houston office is dysfunctional. Started with Jylian the design consultant that does not know how to measure appropriately. Now we are left with an issue of cutting pre-existing trim so our “dream” closet looks uniform. The install guys that move like snails but do not clean as well as snails said “Just put some matching paint over it” to blend the miscalculation. Will not utilize this company going forward. If you see an automobile with a crapifornia closets logo with a red “X” across it, feel free to flip it the bird or middle finger. To be clear I will make car signs to place on my automobile with the “X” across the crapifornia closets logo. Give it the middle finger wave. I will not deface their property like they defaced mine. Just my thoughts…."

"On Friday 10/19/2018, we had a hard blowing 2 hour 2 inch rain storm from the south that resulted in a flooded bathroom and soaked carpet in the master bedroom and closet. We felt the problem was water blown up under the flashing on the south side of the house. On Saturday 10/20/2018, I researched Roofing Companies in my area through Home Advisors and the Better Business Bureau, and decided Precision Roofing and Restoration in Sealy Texas was our best choice. After notification from Home Advisor about my online inquiry, Gerald Thourot of Precision Roofing called and asked if they could come out on Sunday 10/21/2018, inspect the roof, and give us a free estimate. We agree and the appointment was made. On Sunday 10/21/2018, Gerald and his son Cheyenne Tourot arrived for our appointment and inspection. After climbing all over the roof and taking many photographs, Cheyenne informed us that the damage was far worse than just the flashing. We had multiple holes in the valleys and evidence of major hail damage that needed correction. We decided to file a claim on our home owner’s insurance Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Companies. Since it was Sunday the actual claim was filed the following day on Monday 10/22/2018. On Friday 10/26/2018, adjuster for Texas Farm Bureau Aaron Gross met Gerald and Cheyenne of Precision Roofing to examine and access the roof damage. Aaron examined the interior part of the house and then he and Cheyenne began their climbing on all sections of the roof. Afterward, we were informed that insurance would pay for a new roof and some interior renovations. After deciding on 3 possible colors for the roof, Precision Roofing gave us 4 locations to examine prior to making our final decision. On Sunday 10/28/2018 we set out to look at the 4 locations. After our drive we decided on Certainteed Landmark Moire Black and called Gerald to inform him of our choice. On Monday 10/29/2018, 5 pallets of shingles, ridge vents and other miscellaneous materials were delivered. On Tuesday 10/30/2018 Gerald and roof foreman Sergio and 6 man crew showed up at 7:30 AM to begin work on the roof. Work began on the front roof of the main house. Tarps were used to cover the flower beds to prevent damage. Denise would have preferred plywood, but luckily no plants were damaged. Removed shingles and damaged plywood was removed and carried to the Brenham landfill. Later that afternoon Jesse the painter arrived to begin the interior painting. Wednesday 10/31/2018 the roofing crew showed up but decided the weather would not be good for further roof work, and left. Jesse the painter came later in the day to finish the interior painting. Jesse completed his work late that afternoon after a great job. Thursday 11/1/2018 roof work finished on the main house and Friday 11/2/2018 roof work finished on the garage. During a break on Friday while awaiting additional materials, 2 of the roofing crew replaced the roof on my Dove birdhouse, which kept me off of a ladder (a relief to Denise). The final cleanup was done and all evidence of construction was gone. Results are a beautiful roof and excellent cleanup. Monday 11/5/2018, Jeffrey Farmer came and pressure washed the front and back porches and the entire driveway, working all day, and resulting in beautifully clean porches and driveway. The only remaining piece of the project was the carpet work in the master bedroom and master closet. After contacting several carpet companies and given unreasonable schedules, the work was given to Carpet Giant and completed on Wednesday November 28. Precision Roofing elected to replace the carpet and pad, instead of removal, cleaning and reinstallation. Overall, the whole project was a huge success in a very timely manner, with the exception of the carpet installation. We highly recommend Precision Roofing and Restoration to all. Thanks for a JOB WELL DONE. Larry and Denise Dawson"

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Houston, TX

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.
