Board and Batten Installation

What This Service Involves

Board and batten uses vertical battens over a flat base to create a rhythmic, dimensional wall treatment. We plan batten spacing to suit the room and keep every strip plumb for a clean, orderly appearance. It works on lower-wall sections, full accent walls, and entries, giving spaces a grounded, classic character. Using stable, primed materials, we account for the moisture common in Western Washington so joints stay tight after finishing. The completed treatment reads custom and adds welcome vertical scale.
