The Newman Advantage was born through a vision to elevate the customer experience — to treat them like true VIP’s. This encompasses values like on-time service, professionally trained technicians, free in-home estimates, and stellar customer service. This advantage gave Newman Windows and Doors an advantage over its competitors. Customers were happy, growth was inevitable. Through the years, Newman Windows and Doors has grown from a small mom-and-pop business to a fully functioning professional business. They now have four locations, a large fleet of vehicles, and a team of installers to serve customers in San Diego and Orange Counties. Although the company has grown, the core mission has not. They still offer exceptional service to every homeowner.
"This is a review of only the process of getting an estimate. Newman was the third company to bid on my job so I had some idea of what this job should cost (ca. $1800). The guy from Newman quoted me $2500. When I asked about what I was getting for the additional $700, I was told a string of outright lies. (1) We have a better reputation than our competition. In fact, one of the others were better rated on Angies List. (2) Our product line (Milgard) was much superior to the competition. In fact, the competition (Swinton) was better rated by Consumer Reports. (3) Our warranty is better than the competition. In fact, the competition has a double life-time warranty that even covers accidental breakage. The estimator became belligerent and defensive and left abruptly. Very, very unprofessional."

Shiplap comes in a variety of price points. The most cost-effective form is plywood, which you can buy in sheets for an average of $30 each. However, shiplap can be a bit more expensive than drywall. If cost is an issue, consider installing shiplap on an accent wall and covering the other three walls with drywall.
In many cases, you may be able to install shiplap over drywall. It’s important to prep the wall before installing shiplap. Typically, contractors locate the wall studs and attach the shiplap boards directly to the existing drywall using construction adhesive or finishing nails. However, pros usually recommend removing the existing drywall to expose the studs for the best results. This allows for a more secure and flush installation.
Both horizontal and vertical shiplap can offer stunning visual appeal, but each type creates a different effect. Horizontal shiplap is the classic choice, traditionally helping rooms feel wider and more expansive, such as in living areas and bedrooms. By comparison, vertical shiplap can create an illusion of added height, making ceilings appear taller for a more dramatic touch. The best choice depends on your room’s architecture, design style, and personal preference.
