Wainscoting & Paneling
Raised panel, flat panel, shiplap, and board-and-batten wall treatments.
About this service
Wall paneling adds depth, warmth, and architectural gravitas to any room. We build and install raised panel wainscoting, flat (Shaker) panels, beadboard, shiplap, board-and-batten, and full wall paneling systems. Our work ranges from historically accurate reproductions in landmarked brownstones to clean, modern panel designs in new construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What height should wainscoting be?
Traditional wainscoting is typically one-third of the wall height — about 32-36 inches in a standard 9-foot room, or 40-48 inches in rooms with higher ceilings. Full-height paneling creates a more dramatic, library-like feel. We help you choose proportions that suit your room.
Can you install paneling in a co-op or condo with building restrictions?
Yes. We're experienced with NYC building requirements, alteration agreements, and working within co-op board rules. Paneling is typically classified as cosmetic work and doesn't require DOB permits, but we navigate the paperwork either way.
