We are a small local family owned deck and framing business. We strive in making sure our clients are satisfied. We would love to work with you to make sure you can get the deck of your dreams! Look foward to speaking with you soon! -Binder

"So I gave a C rating but honestly my experience was worse. I chose to gave a C because I understand that during the pandemic home contracting work has spiked and most of these folks are really busy. That being said.. I contacted RBM through Angies list on 8/14 and they responded saying they would love to come give me an estimate asking me for my address, I gave them my availability and asked when they would like to come out to give me the estimate but did not receive a reply. On 8/18 I receive an "OK" message but nothing else. On 8/19 I responded again and asked if they still were interested in coming out and giving me an estimate and they responded "YES". So I again provided my availability and was told to text the address to a phone number "978-87X-XXX8" (I blocked out part of the number for privacy reasons). I texted the requested information and received back "OK". On 8/24 after five days of silence on both Text and Angie's list, I again sent a message trying to follow up with getting the estimate but did not receive a response. As of 9/14 I still have not received response to my communication on 8/24. I am disappointed because honestly if they had just communicated that "Hey we are too busy" I would have understood. ANYTHING would have been preferable to the silence I received. I am sure they are probably great people but right now my personal grade for them is "F", I rated them a "C" because I did not experience any loss other than time and have since accepted the bid from another contractor for the work. Do better, the next person to bother leaving a review may give you the "F" you deserve if you treat them the same way."

We provide no-cost home energy efficiency assessments to determine the efficiency of your homes energy efficiency. We will then create a report on-site and explain the recommendations and rebates we offer through the Mass Save program.

"HomeWorks Energy provided my standard MassSave assessment, and a scheduled heating/cooling assessment.Based on their work, I do not think it was worth my time. For the MassSave assessment, their only work was to change one lightbulb in our kitchen and leave two (useless) "smart" power strips that we won't use, since we don't have a TV or stereo.They did recommend some minor insulation, which we are planning to do ourselves, because even with the 70% discount from MassSave it is $1000 less expensive than their cost. Also, as a warning, their recommendations only bring up insulation levels to current building code. Energy saving standard-of-practice generally recommend much more attic and basement insulation than HomeWorks can recommend or offer discounts on.Finally, and this is what prompted me to write this review, I scheduled an additional heating and cooling assessment, as my initial MassSave inspector wasn't knowledgeable in those areas and didn't have any suggestions to offer. Instead of the inspector showing up, though, I got a phone call 10 minutes before our scheduled time, claiming that they didn't recommend their team coming out to the property because 1). the previous inspector saw a few pieces of fiberglass (personally installed and then removed by me when it melted) adhered to a radiator pipe, and they needed an asbestos abatement company to sign off on it before they could do any work, and 2). because I wasn't yet eligible for a particular rebate, they didn't think it was worth their time.Given that I wanted to talk about future installation options to budget and plan for, I found this deeply unprofessional, not to mention ridiciously red-tape laden. I would NOT recommend HomeWorks Energy for any work or assessments in the future."

"Frangioso is simply the best. We had a tiny project; we were looking for a quartz remnant for a bathroom vanity countertop and they treated us as if we were purchasing ten times that amount. They went out of their way to meet us when they weren’t technically open, walked us through numerous remnants (they had a great selection) and perfectly installed the countertop. I’m a perfectionist and couldn’t find fault with anything. What amazing service and quality in craftsmanship."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Merrimac, 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.
