Wainscoting & Accent Walls

A good accent wall starts long before the nail gun comes out. Board and batten, shiplap, and picture-frame wainscoting all live or die by layout — the spacing between battens, how the frames line up with your outlets and switches, where the top rail lands against your window sills. We do that math first, mark it all out on the wall, and make sure it looks right before a single board goes up.

Every panel and rail is set level and plumb, glued and nailed, then caulked and filled so the wall reads as one built-in piece instead of boards stuck to drywall. We'll help you pick the right material for the room too — moisture-friendly options for baths and mudrooms, paint-grade stock for crisp modern lines.

The result is a statement wall that looks like it was always part of the house — an entryway that welcomes people, a dining room with some weight to it, a bedroom wall that makes the whole room.
