How do I protect my baseboards when installing carpet?
If you choose to install your baseboards first, be sure to:
1. Leave a gap for the carpet (Use a spacer if you need to)
2. Paint or stain your baseboards before installing the carpet
3. Add protection (like painter’s tape) to your baseboards to keep them from getting damaged during the carpet installation.
Baseboards are usually installed before flooring. This is because they must be finished in place with either stain or paint, and it is much easier to do this without worrying about staining the hardwood, tile, or carpet.
Do you need to remove baseboards to install flooring
Most flooring applications do not require you to remove existing baseboards. However, you may choose to remove the baseboards and replace them at the same time as flooring installation if you want to switch to a different baseboard height or change the style to match the overall look of your remodel.
The gap between the baseboard and the floor is typically between 3/8” and 1/2”. However, if you’re working with a thicker carpet and/or padding, this gap could be as wide as a full inch. Many experts believe that 1/2” is more than enough space for any carpet thickness.
Does all furniture have to be removed to install carpet?
Hi there!
If you’re installing new carpet, you’ll need to move out all the furniture in the room first. But don’t worry – you don’t have to call a professional moving company. As long as you move all small items like breakables, knick-knacks, and electronics, we can move most larger furniture items like beds, tables, sofas, and dressers.
Installing carpet under baseboards can be a bit tricky, but it’s definitely possible! Here are a few tips to help you out:
1. Vacuum the bare floor thoroughly to remove all dust and dirt. This will help the carpet adhere better and also prevent dirt from getting trapped under the carpet.
2. Position carpet underlay so its edges butt up against the tack strips but do not overlap onto the tacks.
3. Unroll the carpet and cut off the excess, so each edge runs to just above the top of the baseboards.
4. Use a carpet adhesive to glue the carpet to the underlay. Be sure to apply the adhesive evenly and give it time to dry completely before continuing.
5. Once the adhesive is dry, use a carpet roller to press the carpet into place. Start at the center and work your way out to the edges.
6. Finally, trim off any excess carpet that may be hanging over the edge of the baseboards. Use a sharp knife or scissors for this, and be very careful not to damage the baseboards.
Do you have to remove baseboards before installing hardwood floors?
Installing hardwood flooring is a big project, and you want to make sure you do it right. That means removing your baseboards before you install the flooring, and then reinstalling them after you lay the flooring. This will help you avoid any damage to your new floor, and it will also give you a better finished product.
There are a few reasons for this order of installation. One is that it is much easier to install the cabinets before the floor covering is in place. Another reason is that the cabinets will provide a stable surface for the installation of the floor covering. And finally, if the cabinets are installed after the floor covering, it is more likely that the cabinets will be damaged during the installation process.
Is it better to paint baseboards before or after installation
If you are installing baseboards and have not yet painted them, you should always paint the baseboards before installation. Some minor damage to the paint finish will occur during installation, but this is expected. With most of the painting already done, you’ll only need to do a small amount of touch-up after installing the baseboards.
Installing laminate flooring is a relatively easy process that doesn’t require removal of your home’s baseboards. You can simply cover the gap between the flooring and the baseboards with molding. This will give your home a fresh, new look without a lot of hassle.
Is it hard to remove baseboards?
Removing trim or baseboards can be tricky, but doesn’t have to damage anything. To remove trim or baseboards:
1. Start by gently prying off the trim or baseboard with a putty knife.
2. If the trim or baseboard is held on with nails, use a hammer or screwdriver to carefully remove the nails.
3. Once the trim or baseboard is free, gently pull it away from the wall.
4. If there is any adhesive residue left on the wall, remove it with a putty knife or razor blade.
5. Finally, touch up the paint or wallpaper as needed.
There are a few ways to remove splinters, depending on the size and location of the splinter. If the splinter is small and near the surface of the skin, you can try to remove it with a pair of tweezers or by carefully slicing it off with a sterile razor blade. If the splinter is larger or deeper under the skin, you may need to see a doctor to have it removed. To clean the area afterwards, you can use soapy water, hydrogen peroxide, or alcohol.
Who moves the furniture when you get new carpet
If you have any large items of furniture or appliances, you should check with your installer first to see if they will be able to move them for you. In most cases, they should be able to do this as part of the installation process. However, if you do need to arrange for a third party to move them, your installer will be responsible for removing and disposing of your old carpet.

Do you tip carpet installers Home Depot?
This is a good question that many people have. Unlike hairstylists and nail techs, carpet installers do not expect to receive tips. And if you’re working with a big box retailer (such as Home Depot or Lowes), these installers are usually not allowed to accept tips anyways.
The cost of having carpet installed in your home can vary depending on the size of the room and the type of carpet you choose. However, on average, you can expect to pay between $350 and $1,320 for the entire project. This includes the cost of the carpet, padding, and installation.
