How do I measure the wall height?
To measure the wall height, you will take the height from the top of your foundation up to where the sidewall joins the roof.
What is a wainscoat?
Wainscoting adds an extra touch of charm to any building with its decorative panels, usually made of metal and standing out in a different color on the lower section of a building's exterior. These panels don't just look great—they serve a practical purpose, too: protecting and enhancing the building. Typically standing three to four feet tall, wainscoting is a surefire way to elevate the visual appeal of any exterior.
How do I know what type of foundation I have?
Concrete Slab Foundation: This is the most common type of home foundation, consisting of concrete poured directly onto the ground.
Crawl Space Foundation: Constructed on blocks with a small space between the floor joists and the ground. Concrete pillars are used for added reinforcement and structural support.
Basement Foundation: Basement foundations can be built with blocks or poured concrete. Concrete pillars support the above-ground structure, leaving standing-height space underneath the home. These foundations tend to be dug at least eight feet above the home's footing, leaving sizable space beneath the home for living or storage.
Pier Foundation: A pier foundation is a collection of large-diameter cylindrical columns that support the superstructure and transfer large superimposed loads to the firm strata below. It stands several feet above the ground.
