What wainscoting does for a room
Wainscoting adds paneling to the lower part of a wall. It brings depth and character to dining rooms, entries, hallways and bathrooms, and it protects walls from everyday bumps and scuffs. It can make a plain room feel like it was custom designed.
Popular wainscoting styles
Board and batten has a clean, modern farmhouse feel. Raised and recessed panels feel more traditional and formal. Beadboard suits coastal homes and bathrooms. The height of the paneling matters too, so we look at your ceilings, windows and furniture and plan the layout so panels are evenly spaced on every wall.
Finishing it well
The best wainscoting looks like part of the house, not something added later. That means even panel spacing, a clean cap, tight joints and careful work around outlets, windows and doors. A smooth paint finish in a durable sheen ties it all together, and it can be matched to your other trim work.
Where we work
We serve homeowners in St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater and Largo, across Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
