Your project in Lubbock begins with measurements taken at multiple points across the opening or wall to identify where the surface is uneven or where trim interferes with installation. Barn door tracks are mounted to ceiling joists or blocking installed between studs, and the door is hung with spacers that prevent it from swinging into the wall when pushed. Paneling boards are cut to width, checked for warp, and fastened in a staggered pattern to prevent visible seams from lining up.

Once the work is done, you will notice that doors no longer stick halfway across the opening and that walls with paneling no longer show scuff marks or patches from previous repairs. The wood surface takes paint or stain evenly and stays in place without pulling away from the wall over time.

TTT Construction uses finish-grade lumber that resists splitting when fastened and applies sealant along edges that meet flooring or trim to keep dust and moisture from working behind the panels. The work does not include electrical relocation or structural modifications to walls, though blocking can be added during installation if needed to support heavier door weights. The final result is woodwork that looks built into the home rather than added onto it.

What type of wood works best for barn doors in Lubbock?
Pine and alder are common choices because they take stain evenly and stay flat after installation. You can also use reclaimed wood if you prefer a weathered look, though it may require additional planning to remove surface damage.

How do you keep barn doors from swinging away from the wall?
A floor guide or wall-mounted stop keeps the bottom of the door aligned with the opening. The hardware includes spacers that hold the door at a fixed distance from the wall so it slides without tilting.

What happens to outlets or switches covered by paneling?
You will need to relocate electrical boxes or add box extenders before paneling is installed. TTT Construction cuts openings to fit standard cover plates once the panels are in place.

How long does paneling take to install in one room?
A single accent wall typically takes one day, while a full room with multiple walls may take two to three days depending on the number of openings and the condition of the existing surface.

Can paneling be removed later without damaging the drywall?
Panels fastened with finish nails leave small holes that can be filled and painted. Panels installed with adhesive may pull the drywall paper when removed, requiring patching before the wall can be repainted.

TTT Construction measures and cuts each piece onsite so the wood fits around trim, outlets, and corners without forcing gaps closed with caulk or filler.
