Local Business Owner with insurance and licesing we ofer financing options
"Trinity Construction came out and gave general advice and options for my roof problems (regardless of whether they got my business). They were also the only company that would check for hurricane straps, something I thought made sense since the roof would be opened to the rafters. They stripped off the old leaking metal roof and slats, and then installed OSB decking and quality asphalt shingles with continuous roof vents. The crews were hard working and diligent, answering any questions we had. This was a large roof (area like for 2 houses), and they got the re-build & re-roof done in 2 days. Very impressive. I have had weeks of off and on heavy rain storms since, and the new roof is performing flawlessly. All this and a warranty too."

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.
