"Like Greg G said in the comments, it feels like there is something strange going on with this company when it comes to billing and communication. My landlord booked a chimney cleaning. As the tenant, I was the person to open the door and let the people in. I confirmed with them that they had all of the billing information for the landlord, and they said they did. Over the next year I kept getting emails asking for me to pay the bill and I kept providing them the billing information for the landlord. They never responded, just ignored me and then threatened to send to collections. I had to call and email over twenty times to get this resolved, when this was their mistake in the first place. I would avoid this company, incredibly surprised to find all of my emails and calls ignored. I had to get a lawyer involved to finally put an end to this. You have been warned, do not use Tahoe Chimney & Fireplace as a renter, even if the landlord is paying, they will still try to bill you rather than the landlord who booked the service!"

As a self-taught craftsman with over 20 years of experience in cabinetry, woodworking, & finishing, I am committed to maintaining a very high standard of quality, beauty, & durability for your custom projects. I use only the best & highest-quality materials available for construction – for example, instead of imported sheet goods, I use high-end or domestic materials for box construction & solid wood for fronts & visible areas, as well as heavy-duty hardware & conversion varnish as standard. I want to ensure that your custom pieces will both age beautifully & hold up to most cleaning chemicals & heavy use. Why have a beautiful piece if you cannot actually use it for generations? With your input, ideas, & needs in mind, I design, make & manufacture each piece myself. I come out for your estimate, & I use no “salesmen” or “representatives” so you can be confident that every step of the process is handled with a commitment to personal communication & an uncompromising dedication to excellence. By working for various shops, companies, & craftsmen over the years, & assimilating all that they had to teach, I created my own apprenticeship yet my skillset & talents are continually growing as my clients come up with pretty innovative projects! Feel free to call me to talk about your needs & visit my website for example of my work. Thank you for taking the time to check out Sticks, Phil Snyder

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in South Lake Tahoe, CA

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.
