Shiplap Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Shiplap installation has become one of the most popular interior design upgrades for homes across Central Florida, from Orlando neighborhoods like Doctor Phillips and Hunters Creek to communities as far as Daytona Beach and Kissimmee. At Renovating Central Florida LLC, we install premium shiplap boards with precision, ensuring seamless joints, proper spacing, and flawless finishing. Our team understands the humidity and climate challenges specific to Florida homes, selecting materials and techniques that withstand moisture exposure while maintaining aesthetic appeal for years to come.
Our shiplap installation process begins with a detailed site inspection and material selection-choosing between authentic pine shiplap, engineered boards, or painted options based on your design goals and budget. We prepare the wall surface by addressing any existing damage, installing a moisture barrier when needed, and marking stud locations for secure fastening. Our installers then measure and cut each board to fit your space precisely, secure them with finishing nails or screws spaced 16 inches apart, and complete the project with caulking, sanding, and your choice of paint or stain finishing.

Our Shiplap Installation Process
Initial Consultation and Material Selection
We schedule a 30-minute on-site visit to assess your wall condition, discuss design preferences, and select shiplap materials. We present options for authentic pine boards, engineered shiplap, or pre-finished varieties, with pricing ranging from $4-$8 per square foot installed.
Wall Preparation and Moisture Control
Our team prepares the installation surface by repairing damaged drywall, installing moisture barriers where needed for Florida humidity, and marking stud locations. This phase typically takes 2-4 hours and ensures long-term durability for homes in humid regions like Alafaya and Longwood.
Board Installation and Fastening
We install shiplap boards horizontally, securing each with finishing nails or screws every 16 inches into wall studs. Most accent walls (100-150 sq ft) install in 4-6 hours, with larger projects spanning 1-2 days depending on square footage and existing wall conditions.
Finishing: Caulk, Sand, and Paint
Final stages include caulking all gaps and seams, sanding for smooth transitions, and applying your chosen paint color or stain finish. This phase takes 1-2 days with drying time, completing projects typically within 3 business days total.
