Bret K Chenoweth Remodeling and Fine Woodworking LLC.

"I have hired Bret Chenoweth for multiple projects, one included installing a French door. I felt Bret overall was professional and honest. Additionally, I have recommended Bret to others which I know some have used him based on my recommendations. About a year after the door was installed it started sagging. Bret came out and fixed it without issue. Explaining it was a bad hinge. He explained the hinges are adjustable and one just needed to be replaced. About 5 years later, the same door started sagging again. The door and components are still under warranty. I called Bret explained the situation. He told me to call the manufacturer of the door. Which I did and learned that I can’t file a complaint he has to. He called me back a few days later and told me the manufacturer of the components are bankrupt, he is responsible, and he would fix the door where his labor would be free and I would pay for any needed material. Bret stated he would give me a call in a couple of days with a date and time. Bret has never called, refuses to answer the phone when I tried to get a hold of him. I’m giving Bret a F due to - Deducted one star/letter because I feel Bret has provided me false information on numerous occasions o Hinges are not adjustable o Manufacturer of the components are not bankrupt; the original company went bankrupt however they never stopped doing business and they still honor their components/warranty. o French door was probably purchased after the manufacturer of the components started doing business under their new name. o The initial issue wasn’t a bad hinge, Bret shimmed the door to correct the sagging. - Deducted two stars/letters because in my opinion Bret does not stand behind his work or his verbal commitments. o Two other contractors have reviewed the issue with my French door and stated contractor did not install the door correctly. Shimming the door is /was just a bandage, the door needs to be reset. - Deducted one star/letter because in my opinion Bret is not a profession. Refusing to answer the phone and talk with a repeat customer and a customer who has recommended you is just unprofessional."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Portland, OR

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.
