73 reviews over 10 yrs on Angies List. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I am the owner of this small painting company thats been in this business for 40 years. I will be the person who comes out to quote your home project. You wont have to wonder who is doing the actual job. That would be me also. Some jobs I am working alone and other times with my youngest son who has been with me for 10 years. We don't start a job and leave it until it's completed. I am on time, and work around the home owners schedule. Being a small company I am able to price each job simply by a per day cost and materials. I will use any paint company you prefer or give you my input on products. Either way, the paints and materials could be added to the quote or I buy the paints and show you the receipt and you reimburse me. A painting contractor should not be making a dime on any product he buys for your home. The discounts that I get are directly passed on to you. Always felt that way. Keep It Simple. Nothing else is added unless you add something. At no extra cost I will do my best to help the home owner with color selection and decorating do's and don'ts Call for free advice and estimates. Licenced and insured. Lic# 4202. Call Day and evening: 450 1040 Thank you, Sam Messina.

"Sam's many years of experience were evident in the organized manner in which he approached the work, but especially in the quality of the results. Sam has done work for me before; he always arrives when he said he would, is mindful of protecting furniture as he works, and in sum, is an absolute gem."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Saunderstown, RI

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.
