Wainscotting

**philly704** · 06-29-2012, 01:12 PM

Hi Everyone,

I would like to get wainscotting for the smallest bedroom in my row home (tiny room). Can anyone shed some light on how much wainscotting installation usually cost? I have a handyman coming in next week to give me a quote and I would like to have an idea on how much this usually runs.

I'd guess it varies a lot by the style you choose... beadboard w/ cap, moulding mitered to make rectangles or the really nice stuff w/ raised paneling.

I have mixed feelings about putting up that stuff. MDF is so soft, I almost feel like the drywall underneath is almost more resistant to getting dinged up than that stuff, so don't put it up expecting it to "protect" the wall.
