"I hired these folks to repair a built-in gas fireplace. This company was very responsive, communicative and prompt. Our tech was Nick, and he was excellent. He arrived right on time, diagnosed the issues, explained them to us in detail and was even able to fix them on the spot. He also did a safety inspection, as our unit had not been used for some time. Following service, he went the extra mile to vacuum up any dust and debris left by service - very much appreciated! Nick was courteous, knowledgeable and capable - I would happily have him back for any future needs with our unit. The price for service was very reasonable and came with a written, itemized estimate."

"Their warranty, customer support and overall communication with the end user is terrible. I have a 4 panel bay window that every seal is blown in on the front of my home. It was installed around 5 years ago and the seals went bad almost two years ago. They still haven’t received replacement panes. I even offered to share the cost of a whole new unit because my kids cant even see out of the window anymore. They have done every window and some doors in my home. They have no problem selling you something, but if you ever have a problem, they fall EXTREMELY short of even bad. And forget trying to get a supervisor on the phone or email you. They put in the notes that they called and left a message but I have never gotten one. Buyer beware."

"I’ve been a customer of Wilber’s for several years. Up till now I’ve always found them to be reasonable in price, professional, reliable and trustworthy. I don’t know what’s happened but, they are no longer the company they used to be. I recently hired Wilbers to repair a loose newel post at the bottom of my stairs. When Danny the estimator came he explained that it might be an easy fix or more involved if they needed to install a new 4X4 interior post. Though I requested that he provide estimates for both scenarios he only sent the estimate for the worst case scenario. I let that go because I trusted that they would do the right thing should it prove to be an easy fix. When they arrived it turned out that all that was needed was to replace the wooden board in the basement with a 2 ft. 2x4 and tighten the bolt that runs inside the post. The workers were here for 1 hour and for this Wilber’s decided that a fair price was $820. It seemed absolutely outrageous to me that they would charge me $820 to tighten a bolt so I tried reaching out to Wilber 3 times and asked that he call me back to discuss. Well he never called me back. I can only assume that he knows full well that he did is wrong and is unable to justify his outrageous pricing. It’s sad that Wilber thinks this is how you should treat a loyal customer and it’s certainly disappointing to discover what an unprofessional and unethical person he is. I certainly will never utilize the services of Wilbers ever again and I would caution anyone thinking of hiring them to think twice. Wilber is a man that lacks integrity and therefore someone you cannot trust to do business with."

"We couldn’t have replaced this door with a better expert. Ryan took measurements and photos, then recommended several doors in various price ranges. We didn’t realize how many options come with storm doors. Ryan gave us some really good recommendations and helped us make a great choice. He installed the door in a half day while we were out. Came back to a gorgeous door/screen storm door combo- something we weren’t even sure could have been done to begin with. Important to know:Throughout the entire process, Ryan was responsive and easy to reach. That’s vital in a world where ghosting is the norm (unfortunately).

Wood paneling installs or repairs FAQs

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.
