"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"d edges everywhere knowing we had 2 small learning to walk toddlers and promised it would be fixed that week….we blocked it with furniture and finally after over a month of waiting we hired another company to come fix it and still didn’t hear a word from Wright Siding for months. Then early one Saturday morning without warning they show up banging on our door demanding to fix that window and install that moment. The owner started yelling at us for having the window fixed without talking to him and called us disrespectful for doing so. Stacey was so nice when he sold us our window but every encounter from that moment on was terrible. He was so rude and never once apologized for any of our delays over the year long process even with how understanding we were. He even tried to blame us and call us names because we cared about the safety of our children over respecting his wishes on what needed to happen with our living room window. I wouldn’t trust this company with any project ever, I honestly don’t understand how they are still functioning with how poorly run they are."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Sweet Home, AR

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.
