Wainscot a Dining Room | |
A carpenter will charge $400 to install 50 linear feet of wooden wainscoting, but a homeowner with finish carpentry experience can do the job for $185, the cost of the materials. These include unfinished pine tongue and groove beaded planking, a cap or chair molding to finish off the top edge and construction adhesive. You'll need basic carpentry tools and an electrical circular saw will make this job easier. The project requires patience to lay out the planks and cut them precisely, so expect to spend two long 8-hours days. Additional time is needed for finishing the wood. |
