Wainscoting

Opening & Wainscoting

Wainscoting – There are about 6 different styles of wainscoting. From least expensive to most expensive there is : Chair rail & Picture frames, Shaker style, Flat panels, Beadboard, Raised panels, and then variations of these can more than double the options. This is something that usually needs to be explained on the job at the initial estimate.

Chair rail alone – The installation of a chair rail is used to add a break in the wall so that different colors can be used above & below it. This is very simple and an inexpensive addition to a room. There are many styles of chair rail available to a carpenter in Pinellas county and none add a lot to the price.

Testimonials

Vince did a great job. He was able to work with some tricky areas and a transition area between the hall and the dining room. The craftsmanship was outstanding and the areas looks awesome. Definitely a professional in his work. He applied the Angie’s discount when he emailed the quote. He was able to hoist the strips of moulding up to the 4th floor and secure them inside the condo unit without any damage.

Unfortunately, Vince tore a rooter cuff and needed extended time to heal thus the work was not able to be performed. Vince honestly communicated that immediately and offered a return of the deposit which I have already received. Although the work was not completed, Vince conducted himself professionally and honestly allowing me to find another contractor. Vince was punctual when he came for the estimate and gave a very good price that I had accepted as being very fair. I would highly recommend his services and I wished Vince a speedy recovery.

Gary B. - 2015

Vince is a true professional in both workmanship and business. It was a pleasure to have him in our home.

Rex B. - 2014

Company was excellent, timely and efficient . The quality of work was amazing and the time that the project was completed exceeded my expectations. The installation was done by the owner. I highly recommend this company and I will be using him for future projects.

Jose A. - 2014

Vince is remarkable and he has the “whole package”. Vince’s work skills and taste are exceptional. He has a knack for making the most beautiful trim work dependent on the wall/floor/ceiling situation.

Vince is highly organized and extremely efficient. This makes for fast work. He collects your thoughts & plans well and isn’t afraid to offer advice or ask questions. Crown & Trim by Design is extremely professional and communicates well. Vince was never late, worked hard, and let you know exactly where we stood. This quality company is very competitive for the level of work they do. And you could not ask for a more congenial and nicer person than Vince

William B. - 2014

Needed approximately 140′ of crown molding installed in a living/family room. I’d identified, on-line, the profile I needed.

Vince was one of 3 companies I contacted, he proposed that he manufacture out of solid wood the molding and also install it. The results far exceeded my expectations and knowing the moldings are solid wood as opposed to the plastic purchased molding is icing on the cake. The cost was no more than as if I’d had the plastic molding installed.

Derek R. - 2013

When Vince came to the house to measure and provide a quote he brought lots of samples with him, which was great. We chose a simple 3.25″ molding for the entire house, with an additional 1.50″ riser in the common areas.

Vince did the job over three days. He did an amazing job. Truly a master of his craft. The joints are so tight they didn’t require any fillers.

Update 2/6/14: I recently stayed in a 5-star hotel while on vacation. Fabulous place. Stunningly designed with lots of arches and columns. My crown molding is better.

David K. - 2013

He is a true artist and did a wonderful job and would definitely recommend him.

He also saw were there was a leak in one of the windows our building ended up having issues and it took an additional 6 months for our building to be fixed but Vince came back when the repairs were finished and finished his original work and did some additional trim work from the damage the leak in the building caused. He is unbelievable at what he does.

I would recommend him to any one. His standards are very high and I really appreciated his coming back as soon as we were ready for him.

Lauri L. -2013

Crown and Trim by Design is the only one I would recommend if you are in need of either trim work or finish carpenter! Vince works for himself and by himself and is the most polite, professional man out there with decades of experience, an easygoing manner, and extensive knowledge about the industry, trim and ideas that would work best for your space. Pricing is competitive and his quality of workmanship stands alone. Vince is dependable, timely, reliable and is the only carpenter we will have in our home from here on out!! We here in Pinellas County have problems with contractors, handymen and carpenters, most have no license, no show, no skill, not qualified, etc. Horror stories with quality, etc. We are thankful that we will not have to search any longer. Thank you Vince .

Patrick S - 2012

Perhaps the best contractor with whom I have ever worked. Outstanding attention to detail at a reasonable price. Professional work by a true craftsman. I would hire Crown and Trim By Design again and recommend Vince for any and all trim and woodwork projects.

Eric R. -2011

Excellent workmanship by a friendly, professional craftsman. We received quotes from other contractors, but Vincent Mantegna’s attention to detail was evident from the start, when we asked him to describe how he would go about the job. We are extremely pleased with the results for a reasonable price. It is our understanding that he works with crown molding, baseboards, window and door trim and other fine carpentry work. We highly recommend Crown and Trim by Design.

Eric R. - 2010

Hi Vince,

First of all, I am so pleased with the work you did for me. Thank you again. Is the picture on your letterhead, the stairs you spoke to me about? Very beautiful. As soon as I get my painting project finished I will get back to you on the front door. Thanks for the estimate.

Sue M. -2009

Hi Vince,

Thank you for doing such a beautiful job on the crown molding and being so neat and efficient, it is greatly appreciated. Attached is the picture of the crown molding. Have a great weekend!

Thanks again

Sue D. -2008

Vince,

We are extremely pleased with the work you did at the house! Everyone we’ve had over to see the finished product has also complemented your work. If you ever need a reference please let us know. I took a few pictures after we painted in case you want them for your files.

Thanks again

Beth Ann and Matt - 2007

Hi Vince,

Our painter, John Goetz was very impressed with your work. He said when most contractors install crown molding the seams are always visible. John said he couldn’t see them in our house. I did give John your information because he said clients ask him all the time to recommend someone for molding. My in-laws were also impressed when they came to visit. But the biggest compliment you got was from my son Spencer. He said to me one day, “mommy, can we have Aiden over so I can show him what Vince did”. I will contact you late summer, when there is more in the decorating funds to finish the upstairs. And for the opening between the living room and foyer, that probably won’t change size, so I will just move on.

Hope all is well

Ellen - 2003

Hi Vince,

One of my neighbors stopped by and saw the beautiful work you did. She loved it and so do I. By the way, Tom again was surprised and said “you are an artist”!!! Thanks again for making the time to fit me in. Have a safe drive to Florida. You will be missed. I know my daughter would have loved to have you do trim for her too. If you ever come back to Pa. let me know.

Joanne H. -1998

I personally attest to the quality work/craftsmanship and service that Mr. Mantegna’s company extended me. The finished product exceeded our expectations, and was completed exactly within the stated time frame. All materials were received and crafted in A++ condition. Mr. Mantegna and his crew reported to the project everyday at a scheduled time, and left everyday at a scheduled time after cleaning there work place of all debris. It was a pleasure dealing with a professional in every facet of this contract. I would recommend Vince for any woodwork or home improvement project that he endorses to complete.

Dennis R. -1997
