Baseboard Installation

What This Service Involves

Baseboard is the workhorse of interior trim, hiding the floor-to-wall gap while shielding drywall from scuffs and mop water. We install profiles sized to your ceiling height and design, from tall craftsman bases to slim contemporary boards. Corners are mitered and coped so they stay tight, and long walls are joined with scarf cuts that disappear under paint. Where floors dip in older Puget Sound homes, we scribe the base to follow the line without visible gaps. The finished baseboard grounds the room with a clean, uninterrupted edge.

Benefits

Scuff and moisture protection for wall bottoms; Coped corners that resist seasonal gapping; Scribing to uneven floors for gap-free results; Scarf-jointed long runs with invisible seams; Profile scale matched to your room proportions

Our Process

1) Select base profile and confirm height and material; 2) Undercut door casings and check floor level; 3) Cope, miter, and scarf-join boards for continuous runs; 4) Nail, fill, and caulk the top edge for a clean paint line
