Common questions
Wainscoting & Wall Paneling in Evanston, answered
Do you do wainscoting & wall paneling in Evanston?
Yes. Evanston is inside our regular service area and we work there every month. Call (224) 944-8652 and we'll set a time to look at the job and put a written price on it.
How high should wainscoting go?
It depends on the ceiling height and what the room is for. A dining room usually reads best around a third of the wall; a hallway or mudroom can carry it higher. We'll mock the height on the wall before anything gets fastened.
How much does it cost?
Every job is priced after we see the actual space, so you get a real number rather than a range. The estimate is free, it's in writing, and the scope is spelled out before any work starts.
