Founded in 2007, GreenSavers is a mission-driven contractor committed to helping people save energy. Start with a home energy audit or consultation for efficient HVAC, insulation, or Milgard windows. GreenSavers stands out as a Certified B Corporation™ and multi-year winner of the U.S. DOE’s ENERGY STAR® Contractor of the Year Award.

"We recently bought a ~110 year old house that was barely insulated. Our initial plan was just to have some new insulation blown into the attic, but after a thorough walkthrough, Greensavers' estimator, Todd, recommended several other measures as well, including installing vents and kneewalls in the attic, fixing several exhaust vents that had been installed incorrectly, and sealing leaks. Todd explained everything he was recommending very thoroughly, and while we ended up spending a lot more than we originally planned to, we did so feeling like we were making an informed decision. Scheduling was painless, and the crew did excellent work. The difference couldn't be more obvious- the attic room, which is right under the roof, is comfortable even in winter. If you open the access panel to the attic proper you can immediately tell it's a good 20-30 degrees colder out there. Emily did the final walkthrough, and I appreciated that when I mentioned that we were also thinking of getting some earthquake retrofitting done (having noticed in her email signature that she was one of their seismic installers) she volunteered to go down to the basement with me and have a look at the foundation. We have not yet pulled the trigger on that work, but we would feel very confident getting it done by Greensavers based on our experience with them to date, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the market for insulation work."

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.
