"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."

"My wife and I are very pleased with the very successful and timely remodeling of our medium size kitchen by the Pittsburgh Remodeling Company (PRC). Rob, Nate, Sophia, Chris W., Heidi, Chris S., and Jeremy coordinated with us and with Allegheny Millwork, Inc., Don's Appliances, Best Tile, The Tile Shop and Cambria, Inc. and in the design, purchase and installation of all the necessary components to achieve totally new, beautiful and very functional interior space. We had used PRC previously in a successful, timely and complete remodeling of our kids' bathroom; thus, we were familiar with their workmanship and style of interaction and coordination with the homeowners. However, we did seek three bids for the kitchen project. All bids were within 10% of each other. PRC had the most experience with timely remodeling of kitchens and excellent reviews of their craftsmanship and creativity in surmounting unforeseen obstacles during the reconstruction. We were always informed as to the dates and times that the renovation team members were coming to the home. At the outset, they were very careful to cover all walking paths and steps as well as a large area of our dining room with a special cardboard and tape on which we reestablished the refrigerator and a camp-style temporary kitchen. All debris was collected each day and moved to a dumpster near the home. All products from all vendors were delivered on time and coordinated through PRC to speed the installation. Moreover, the flow of ideas, suggestions for changes to improve functionality and appearance and running costs were essentially continuous between the PRC team members on site and my wife and me. When either we or a team member on site needed something altered or purchased, it was discussed and achieved. The result was, as noted, a beautiful, functional kitchen that is admired by all that see it. As such, my wife and I highly recommend Pittsburgh Remodeling Company for your next kitchen and/or bath renovation."

"We initially contacted The Patio and Fireplace since they were the original installer on our new home 19 years ago and had checked it 6 years ago. We were told that since it is over 15 years old they refused to service it but we were told of a $200 coupon that we could use toward the purchase of a new fireplace. We then contacted Ferguson Free Energy in Mars and they agreed to come out to our home in Kennedy township. Gary the owner, is professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, HONEST. We told him that it would shut down intermittently and he diagnosed the issue immediately as a faulty electrical connection. He also vacuumed, cleaned the glass replaced the embers and even painted a scratch that was on the unit. We definitely recommend them to anyone having an issue or in need of a fireplace because of Gary’s knowledge, and honest business practice. Simply put instead of Holmes on Homes he’s the Ferguson of Fireplaces!"

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
