What we install

Wainscoting styles for every wall

Every run of wainscot is drawn for one wall in one home, milled in our Arlington shop, and installed to sit tight to the wall with balanced panels and crisp returns at doors and corners.

🏠

Raised-Panel Wainscoting

Traditional wainscot with raised center panels framed by stiles and rails, milled to add depth and shadow line to formal dining rooms and entries.

📄

Flat / Recessed-Panel Wainscoting

Clean recessed panels set inside a rail-and-stile frame for a transitional look that suits studies, hallways, and modern living spaces.

🪛

Board-and-Batten Wainscoting

Vertical battens over a smooth base panel, spaced evenly across the wall for a crisp, architectural wainscot in mudrooms, stairwells, and dining rooms.

🌱

Beadboard Wainscoting

Narrow tongue-and-groove beadboard with a fitted top cap, a classic cottage and coastal wainscot for baths, powder rooms, and breakfast nooks.

📐

Shaker-Style Paneling

Simple, flat-panel frames with square, unadorned rails, a quiet wainscot that reads clean and timeless in hallways, offices, and bedrooms.

🖼

Picture-Frame / Applied-Molding Wainscoting

Applied molding boxes set on the wall in a measured grid, a refined wainscot that dresses stair walls, dining rooms, and long hallways.

How it works

From your wall to finished wainscot

01

In-Home Wainscoting Consultation and Measuring

We measure the wall, note outlets, doors, and corners, and talk through the room so the wainscot fits the way you live in it.

02

Wainscot Style and Wall Height Selection

You choose the wainscot style, chair-rail height, and finish, and we lay out panel spacing so every run reads balanced.

03

Milled and prepped in the Arlington shop

Rails, stiles, panels, and cap are milled by our own carpenters, then prepped and pre-finished for a clean install.

04

Precise installation and finishing

We install level and tight to the wall, scribe to corners, caulk and fill, and leave the wainscot finished and the space clean.

Why Arlington homeowners choose us

One team, from first layout to final coat

A lot of wainscoting is glued-up trim kits stuck to the wall and caulked to hide the gaps. Ours is drawn for your wall, milled in our own shop, and installed by the people who made it, so the panels line up, the cap runs true, and the finish holds.

Questions

Wainscoting installation, answered

Q. How long does wainscoting installation take?

Most wainscot runs are milled and installed within one to two weeks. Timeline depends on the wall length, the style, and the finish you choose, which we confirm at your consultation.

Q. What does wainscoting installation cost?

Because each run is milled for a specific wall, we quote every project after an in-home consultation. Your estimate reflects the wall length, style, height, and finish you choose, with no surprises after.

Q. What height should the wainscoting be?

Chair-rail wainscot usually lands around a third of the wall height, while full-height wainscot can run to the ceiling. We set the cap height to your room's proportions and layout at your consultation.

Q. Will the wainscoting match my existing trim?

We mill the rails, stiles, and cap to blend with your room's baseboards and casing, and finish the wainscot so it reads as part of the house rather than an add-on.

Q. Which areas do you serve?

Our shop is in Arlington and we install wainscoting for homeowners across the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex.
