Baseboard installation or replacement is needed after flooring installation, when baseboards have been damaged by moisture or impact, or when a renovation requires style-matching with new trim throughout. Many flooring installations require baseboard to be removed and reinstalled as part of the work.
- Measure and cut to fit
- Coped inside corners
- Mitered outside corners
- Nail and secure to wall
- Caulk and fill nail holes
The Cost of Delay
The expansion gap at the edge of a floating floor is not optional — it allows the flooring to expand and contract with humidity changes without buckling. Contacting an expert early allows for targeted solutions before the damage becomes significantly more expensive to address.
Baseboard covers the expansion gap at the floor edge required by most floating floor systems, protects the wall base from furniture and vacuum impact, and provides a finished transition between two surfaces that are never perfectly aligned.
Properly installed painted or primed MDF and solid wood baseboard lasts the life of the home. The fastener schedule and caulk detail at the top edge determine whether it separates over time.
The expansion gap at the edge of a floating floor is not optional — it allows the flooring to expand and contract with humidity changes without buckling. A gap at the floor-wall junction that is not covered by baseboard is also an air pathway and moisture entry point. Engineered wood and laminate flooring near open edges absorbs moisture from drafts and spills along the exposed end grain, which causes swelling and edge lift over time. In bathrooms, ungapped flooring that is not protected by baseboard also lacks the moisture barrier at the wall joint that prevents floor-level water from migrating under the flooring.
