Wainscoting Renovation Toronto
Wainscoting gives a room depth and finish that paint alone cannot. Panelled walls, chair rails and picture-frame moulding turn a flat hallway or dining room into something that looks designed.
We build and install raised panel, shaker, board and batten and modern slat profiles, painted or stained to suit the room, across Toronto and the GTA.
Our Approach
We lay out every panel to the room rather than to a standard spacing, so the proportions work with your ceiling height, doors and windows. Badly spaced panelling is obvious from across the room.
Everything is cut and fitted on site, then caulked, filled and finished, so the result reads as part of the wall instead of something stuck to it.
We are licensed, insured to $2 million and WSIB compliant, and our workmanship is warranted for up to two years.
What wainscoting costs
Wainscoting is quoted after a free in-home measure, by the wall or by the room, because the price depends on the style, the height and how many doors and windows the panelling has to work around. Raised panel, shaker, board and batten and modern slat panels are each priced on their own.
Panelling is often done in the same visit as a staircase or flooring job, so the trim, colour and proportions match across the house. See staircase renovation in Toronto for the work it most often pairs with.
Frequently asked questions
What is wainscoting?
Wood panelling fitted to the lower part of a wall, usually finished with a cap rail along the top. It was originally there to protect plaster from knocks, and it is now mostly used to give a hallway, stairwell or dining room some depth and detail.
What styles can I have?
Classic raised and recessed panel profiles through to flat modern board and batten. It can be painted to match or contrast with the wall, or stained if you want the grain to show.
Where does wainscoting work best?
Hallways, entryways, stairwells and dining rooms, where walls take knocks and where a flat painted wall looks bare. It also works well running up alongside a staircase, finished to match new treads and handrails.
What does a wainscoting job cost?
Wainscoting is quoted per job rather than by the square foot, because the wall area, the profile you choose and whether it is painted or stained all move the number. You get a fixed written price after a free in-home visit, and nothing is added on the day.
