The Finishing Touch Your Room is Missing
Baseboards are a crucial finishing element that protects your walls and defines your living space. Damaged or outdated baseboards can make an entire room look worn and unfinished.
- Scuffs, Dents, and Water Damage: Baseboards take a lot of abuse from vacuums, furniture, and mopping.
- Gaps and Separation: Just like crown moulding, baseboards can pull away from the wall over time.
- Outdated Style or Height: Taller, more modern baseboard profiles can dramatically update the look of a room.
- Post-Flooring Installation: New floors often require new baseboards to cover the expansion gap and complete the look.

Baseboard FAQs
- Should I replace my baseboards when I get new flooring?
- It's highly recommended. Removing and reinstalling old, brittle baseboards often causes damage. Installing new baseboards ensures a clean finish and is the perfect time to upgrade to a more modern style if you wish.
- What's the difference between baseboards and shoe moulding?
- A baseboard is the main decorative trim. Shoe moulding is a small, thin strip of trim that can be added to the bottom of the baseboard to cover any remaining gaps between it and an uneven floor, providing an even cleaner line.
- Do you paint the baseboards before or after installation?
- For the cleanest job, we typically apply the first coat of paint before installation. After it's installed, we fill the nail holes, caulk the top edge, and apply the final coat of paint for a perfect, seamless finish.
