"My mother had purchased her blinds about 25 years ago from Eddie Z's so this past week she called them to get a price possibly have someone come measure etc & was told that there isn't a representative for her area??? 1st of all she lives in the 20th St & Broadway area of Rockford IL 61104 area code last I checked people still have jobs money homes in this area. I think it is poor business that she was basically dismissed because of where she lives & quite frankly she has just as much money as someone who lives on Perryville & State. Even if someone decided to come do this for her I wouldn't allow it, you made her feel as if her money & her home wasn't good enough for your business. I think that someone needs to check whomever does your Rockford area business because it's a sad day when someone is denied basically because of where they live. I give no stars to this business & will NEVER recommend them to anyone in fact I will surely let anyone who ever thinks of calling you just what type of people you really are"

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Poplar Grove, IL

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.
