"The company s very proactive, texted, called and left voice message about the project and provide quotes for the work. Appointment was done quick and they showed up on time, and they work weekends (job done on Sunday!). Sebastian and his crew was very professional and helpful. Based on their assessment and advice we ends up replacing both springs to ensure the system works for next 20+ years with no issue. They also helped grease all the door hinges and provide advise on the panel arrangements. Great job! Very pleased with professionalism and punctuality."

"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…."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Katy, 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.
