Shiplap Wall Installation

What this involves.

Shiplap is horizontal board paneling with a small, even gap between courses, and the look depends on a level start, consistent spacing, and boards that stay straight across the wall. We measure the wall, set a level first course, and work up with even reveals so the lines stay true. We fasten each board into the framing, fit it cleanly around outlets and openings, and finish the edges and corners so the wall reads as one piece. Whether it's an accent wall, a fireplace surround, or a full room, we install shiplap that looks clean, straight, and built to stay put.

• Measuring the wall and setting a level first course
• Maintaining a consistent gap between each board for even lines
• Cutting and fitting cleanly around outlets, switches, and openings
• Fastening each board securely into studs and blocking
• Finishing inside and outside corners and edges cleanly
• Filling fastener holes and prepping the surface for paint or stain
• Final cleanup and a walkthrough to confirm straight, even courses
