In 1986 John Gallagher had one goal – to provide top quality exterior remodeling products and workmanship at a reasonable price along with incredible service before and after the job. Exterior Designers Inc started with and maintains that philosophy and mission.
"I requested quotes and met with a number of companies. By far, I enjoyed meeting with John. He was informative and thorough at our meeting. Given the information provided, and our own research, I also felt as though our values matched up nicely. So much so, that we planned on using EDI services, given the quote was reasonable. However, we were never given our quote. We were strung along by a series of emails, and then received no more responses. I have tried many times to reach out for the quote, and after that, to inquire as to what happened. Again, no response at all. Now, after waiting so long, we have to start the entire process over again, and as it is October, we essentially have no hope of getting a new roof this season. I really hope our current last through the winter. This is entire unprofessional behavior, and I grow so weary of companies that make promises and do not fulfil them. We should at the very least be treated with enough respect to be given an explanation as to why they cannot or will not perform the work."

Wall paneling installation requires one to three days for a standard room, with timing dependent on the complexity of your chosen style and space dimensions. Basic installations like shiplap in a small room might be completed in a single day, while intricate designs like raised panels in larger areas could extend to several days.
Preparation work, including wall repairs or existing covering removal, adds to the timeline. Professional installers often complete projects more efficiently than DIY approaches, which might span multiple weekends.
Wall paneling covers entire walls from floor to ceiling, while wainscoting specifically refers to paneling that covers only the lower half of a wall. Originally developed to protect walls from chair damage and moisture, wainscoting now serves primarily as a decorative element that adds architectural interest.
Both treatments enhance room aesthetics, but wainscoting requires less material and therefore costs less than full wall paneling. Wainscoting prices range from $1 to $10 per square foot, making it a budget-friendly option for adding character.
Basic drywall installation costs $1.60 to $2.35 per square foot, making it less expensive than most wall paneling options that range from $1 to $40 per square foot. However, this initial price comparison doesn't tell the complete story. Drywall requires additional finishing steps, including taping, mudding, sanding, and painting, which add to the total cost.
When comparing finished drywall to simpler paneling styles, the price difference narrows considerably. In situations where existing walls have significant damage, paneling installation might actually prove more economical than extensive drywall repairs.
For most full-wall paneling installations, removing baseboards is recommended to achieve proper fit and alignment. This allows panels to sit flush against the wall and creates a more professional finished appearance. After installation, baseboards can be reinstalled or replaced with new trim that complements your paneling style.
For partial-wall applications like wainscoting, existing baseboards are often replaced with trim pieces specifically designed to coordinate with the paneling. Consulting with your installer about the specific requirements of your chosen paneling style will help ensure proper preparation and finishing.
