Total Temperature Control, a complete, licensed HVAC contractor providing heating, cooling, and ventilation solutions for both residential and commercial clients in the Greater Boston area since 1990. We are dedicated to supplying high quality products and exceptional customer service which has earned us the Carrier President’s Award for 10 years. Our experienced team of engineers, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians will design, install and maintain an HVAC system that meets your needs and your budget.

"I would like to highly recommend the Total Temperature Control team. Back in November 2017, our tenants experienced a heating outage in one of our furnaces. After the TTC team visited, they found that this particular heating unit needed replacing. After being walked through the condition of both units in conjunction with the wisdom of John and his team, we decided to replace the existing units with the latest Carrier models. Throughout the process, John, Amele and Brianna Ambrosino, David Pereira, and Steve Matarazzo, along with the other team members who diligently worked on the systems provided comprehensive information, quick and efficient communication about the projects, and professionalism when we spoke with them via phone from overseas or our tenants did at the house. We appreciate that the project would take some time and that their main interest was in doing it correctly the first time. Since the initial timing was during the start of winter, the heating was addressed first and completed quickly. The air conditioning was done last and eventually activated just before the heat of summer began. Finally, when we checked on the property from overseas, John took the time to walk through the project to finalize. A big thank you to everyone at Total Temperature Control."

We are a small local family owned deck and framing business. We strive in making sure our clients are satisfied. We would love to work with you to make sure you can get the deck of your dreams! Look foward to speaking with you soon! -Binder

"So I gave a C rating but honestly my experience was worse. I chose to gave a C because I understand that during the pandemic home contracting work has spiked and most of these folks are really busy. That being said.. I contacted RBM through Angies list on 8/14 and they responded saying they would love to come give me an estimate asking me for my address, I gave them my availability and asked when they would like to come out to give me the estimate but did not receive a reply. On 8/18 I receive an "OK" message but nothing else. On 8/19 I responded again and asked if they still were interested in coming out and giving me an estimate and they responded "YES". So I again provided my availability and was told to text the address to a phone number "978-87X-XXX8" (I blocked out part of the number for privacy reasons). I texted the requested information and received back "OK". On 8/24 after five days of silence on both Text and Angie's list, I again sent a message trying to follow up with getting the estimate but did not receive a response. As of 9/14 I still have not received response to my communication on 8/24. I am disappointed because honestly if they had just communicated that "Hey we are too busy" I would have understood. ANYTHING would have been preferable to the silence I received. I am sure they are probably great people but right now my personal grade for them is "F", I rated them a "C" because I did not experience any loss other than time and have since accepted the bid from another contractor for the work. Do better, the next person to bother leaving a review may give you the "F" you deserve if you treat them the same way."

We provide no-cost home energy efficiency assessments to determine the efficiency of your homes energy efficiency. We will then create a report on-site and explain the recommendations and rebates we offer through the Mass Save program.

"I would NEVER recommend this company. They should not be representing Mass Save. The person that came to my house lied about everything he told me. Then the insulation people messed up my sprinkler system installing insulation in my cellar. The prices I was quoted for a hybrid hot water heater were completely out of line, by thousands of dollars. The information I was given regarding mini splits was totally incorrect. I repeat do not have this company come to your house!!"

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Reading, MA

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.
