Professional Board and Batten Installation Services
At Happy Accent Walls, we specialize in custom board and batten installation that adds tailored elegance to any space. This style uses narrow vertical strips—called battens—mounted over a smooth backing to create rhythm, depth, and visual interest. Installation starts with planning your wall layout, calculating the spacing, and selecting the right trim materials to suit your style. Whether you’re going for a classic farmhouse vibe or a cleaner modern look, we customize each board and batten wall to fit your vision. Our team handles all surface prep, batten cuts, layout, adhesive and nail application, caulking, sanding, and finish painting. We also offer optional design elements like cap molding or color contrast to create even more visual interest. Board and batten is perfect for bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, entryways, and even bathrooms. It’s a timeless way to make blank walls feel more refined, structured, and intentional. With Happy Accent Walls, you’ll get expert craftsmanship and design help every step of the way.
Common Questions About Board and Batten Walls
Thinking about adding board and batten to your home but not sure where to start? Here are some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners.
- How long does installation take? A single wall typically takes one to two days depending on the wall size, finish level, and whether baseboards or crown molding are involved. If painting is included, an extra day may be needed for drying time between coats.
- Is it suitable for every room? Yes—board and batten works in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, offices, hallways, entryways, and even bathrooms. In high-moisture areas, Happy Accent Walls uses moisture-resistant materials and proper sealing techniques to avoid warping.
- Can I install board and batten over textured walls? It’s possible, but for the cleanest look, a smooth surface is recommended. If needed, we’ll install a flat backing layer or skim coat the wall to eliminate texture before adding battens.
- Do I have to go full height? Not at all. Many homeowners love the half-wall or two-thirds height design, especially behind beds, in nurseries, or in dining areas where you may want to hang art above.
- What are the best paint colors for board and batten? Whites, charcoal, navy, sage green, and black are trending. For subtle impact, match the wall color but use a different sheen. For contrast, go for a two-tone design with color above and below the top rail.
- Will it increase home value? While ROI varies, it absolutely improves buyer perception and helps your space photograph better for listings. It shows attention to detail and craftsmanship.
- Can you customize the spacing and style? Yes—everything from batten width, spacing, and trim style can be adjusted.
