"About a month ago, a young man from Power Home Remodeling - The Quality Assurance Manager, Alex P. came to my home to inspect the work one of his crews did on my home...they replaced all the gutters and trim...$9,000 worth of gutters/trim....He needed to get up into my attic space b/c I was told the only way to 'certify' the warranty was to see the work (soffits) from inside as well...he would not take NO for an answer....tells me again about certifying the warranty so finally, I let him up there...lo and behold he says he finds water damage...I look at what he sees and I can't say yes or no that it is exactly what he is telling me... He is very aggressive during his 'pitch' for a new roof...he says that as 'management' he can bundle the gutters and roof together...he writes all of this down on a piece of paper (which I am in possession of)...says he can do both jobs for $24,900...roof and gutters... He shows me the figures...I see it on paper...how much it would cost and its monthly payment...I speak with my wife and we decide to put $10k down...he says to me that $10k will come off the $24,900 once the financing is set...he writes all of this down right in front of me...tells me the $10k will come off the loan as a down payment ... THIS WAS A BOLD FACED LIE... At no time did he EVER say the cost of this project would be $34,000+...my paper work that he showed me, DID NOT have that figure on it...if it did...I would have said NO...he told me the entire project would be $24,900...not $34,900... Had I not looked at the financing paper when it came in, I would have never known I was deceived...at no time was the cost of both projects more than $24,900...I call the company to complain...I tell them what I have in front of me...the figures that were agreed upon by my wife and I and their man Alex P...all they can say is...you signed the agreement!!! Over and over this is what I am told...I ask for Alex P to call me and to this date (6/12/25) I have yet to hear from the guy. Why is that? He's the Quality Assurance Manager...the guy who told me b/c he is management, he can give me a better price...this companies practices are deceptive. Yup I signed the agreement but was told something totally different! I am happy with the product and work but come on...everything you read for reviews on this company is 100% accurate...from how they ended up at my home (doing work in the neighborhood...sure they were!) I just threw away $10k because of this companies deceptive practices!!!! And again, why hasn't Alex P called me back? B/c they got what they wanted and know they are wrong! I have received responses from the company and both responses DO NOT address the deceptive practices of their QA manager, Alex P...I know what I was told and what I was shown for a total price. They make it as if I am an idiot and am making this stuff up...I am not!!! I am not saying I am devoid of blame here b/c I trusted them and in the end, I was misled by this company!"

Wall paneling installation requires one to three days for a standard room, with timing dependent on the complexity of your chosen style and space dimensions. Basic installations like shiplap in a small room might be completed in a single day, while intricate designs like raised panels in larger areas could extend to several days.
Preparation work, including wall repairs or existing covering removal, adds to the timeline. Professional installers often complete projects more efficiently than DIY approaches, which might span multiple weekends.
Wall paneling covers entire walls from floor to ceiling, while wainscoting specifically refers to paneling that covers only the lower half of a wall. Originally developed to protect walls from chair damage and moisture, wainscoting now serves primarily as a decorative element that adds architectural interest.
Both treatments enhance room aesthetics, but wainscoting requires less material and therefore costs less than full wall paneling. Wainscoting prices range from $1 to $10 per square foot, making it a budget-friendly option for adding character.
Basic drywall installation costs $1.60 to $2.35 per square foot, making it less expensive than most wall paneling options that range from $1 to $40 per square foot. However, this initial price comparison doesn't tell the complete story. Drywall requires additional finishing steps, including taping, mudding, sanding, and painting, which add to the total cost.
When comparing finished drywall to simpler paneling styles, the price difference narrows considerably. In situations where existing walls have significant damage, paneling installation might actually prove more economical than extensive drywall repairs.
For most full-wall paneling installations, removing baseboards is recommended to achieve proper fit and alignment. This allows panels to sit flush against the wall and creates a more professional finished appearance. After installation, baseboards can be reinstalled or replaced with new trim that complements your paneling style.
For partial-wall applications like wainscoting, existing baseboards are often replaced with trim pieces specifically designed to coordinate with the paneling. Consulting with your installer about the specific requirements of your chosen paneling style will help ensure proper preparation and finishing.
