A few tips to always consider on finish work and paneling👇
• Pick a control line early (usually floor or ceiling) and reference everything off it
• Keep reveals consistent—don’t eyeball, set them with spacers or a story pole
• Plan where joints and transitions land before anything is installed
• Check framing first—if the walls aren’t straight, your finish work never will be
• Dry fit critical pieces so you’re not adjusting on the fly
• Think about sight lines—what lines up when you walk into the room matters more than isolated details
• Use levels and lasers constantly, not just at the start
• Don’t stack tolerances—small errors compound fast
The difference is always in the details and knowing how to execute them.
