Im a small local construction business or handyman I have over 25 years in repair and remolding working under other companies. I wanted to take the next step and start working under my own name officially. Im not to good with technology so advertising has been hard for me I'm hoping with Angie I'll be able to start finding good jobs. I love to see my customers satisfied with my work. No better feeling than both of us walking away happy and satisfied. So very thankful for future jobs that I can acquire soon! My best work is in Building home decks/porches Putting on siding Tile/flooring Painting roofing drywall so much more

"My time working with El Regio Contruction has been nothing short of frustrating. Our initial date was postponed due to a family issue on his end. He was supposed to be here 8 am sharp on a Wednesday. He did not show up until about 4pm. Well past the time to accomplish anything. Throughout the day he would respond as if he’ll be there to at least start something it wasn’t until he showed up around 4-430 that he said he couldn’t do anything because it was late in the day. He should have communicated that earlier to me and not lead me on. I missed out a a fulls day of work waiting for him. And in today’s economy no one can afford to miss an unpaid day of work. I’ve also learned after receiving quotes from other sources that he was overcharging. He was padding his labor rates because he did not supply any material. I paid him $1,200 for a patch work on my roof, a job that I currently did not need immediately, a job that did not even take 1 hour to do. The size of the repair was about the roof of a standard car. Nothing too drastic. I asked him to replace/repair the area around the kitchen hood vent . He swore that the leak was being caused by my shingles. Luckily it rained later that day after the job was done and there was still a leak. He then tried providing a sketch claiming it was coming from the ridge of the home. As I stated to him I didn’t pay you for guesswork, I paid you for assurances. I called someone else to come out and fix it. They informed me he didn’t work on what I thought was the cause of the leak at all. He also tried to charge me another 1200 to install a front door and replace a piece of subflooring. Once again he isn’t buying the materials for this price. I paid for the $850 door, $100 shingles, the $200 vent, the $25 subfloor. He supplied nothing. He didn’t even have to transport the material (minus the shingles. I went to Lowe’s and purchased them for him and he took them to his vehicle). I found someone else on Angie’s list. The same site I found him to do it for a fraction of that mainly because I already purchased the material. His poor professionalism also delayed the work of other contractors by a week. because they were waiting on him to do his part.Simply put I would not do business with him. He will come up with ways to extend a job or charge you more."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Morehead City, NC

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.
