"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"Took over 1.5 years after start date. He only brought 1 employee to do work and left my half bathroom unfinished. Rude unprofessional hack and I really hope no one would hire him and his one helper."

"I would NEVER recommend this company. They should not be representing Mass Save. The person that came to my house lied about everything he told me. Then the insulation people messed up my sprinkler system installing insulation in my cellar. The prices I was quoted for a hybrid hot water heater were completely out of line, by thousands of dollars. The information I was given regarding mini splits was totally incorrect. I repeat do not have this company come to your house!!"

"Sam Rosario Construction is NOT licensed, he's NOT insured, he is NOT an insurance expert and he doesn't offer any warranties. His contract doesn't meet Mass Law requirements. His crew is paid in cash and they aren't protected by Workman's Comp. Check for yourself at madpl.mylicense(dot)com/Verification/Search.aspx All you really need is his name, the following categories and "MA" to see that he is not licensed. "Builders License" "Construction Supervisor""

"We can't say enough about Vieira Painting. Nivaldo contacted us the same day we left a message on his service and gave us an extremely competitive bid on much-needed repairs and painting of our home's exterior. He identified, replaced, and painted rotting shingles and wood trim and repaired a damaged gutter. Nivaldo was on-site at all times, working alongside his polite, professional team. We will call on them for all future projects."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Lawrence, MA

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.
