Does Floor Moulding Go Before Carpet

So take that into consideration with 3 or taller base i d go base first smaller base you will need to hold it up off the floor or do it after carpet.

Does floor moulding go before carpet.

When installing baseboards before carpet ask the installer how large of a gap to leave between the floor and the trim e g. Hold the first board against the wall level it then temporarily tack it in place. The key is to leave a gap so that the carpet can be easily slid underneath the trim. You can do all the staining and painting before you bring the carpet in so there s no chance of a spill ruining your brand new flooring.

So it s time for the new carpet to go in. There s only one question remaining. No baseboards do not need to be removed. Carpet should nearly always be the last thing that you install.

As i ve said already this is the preferred method. Do baseboards have to be removed to install carpet. Baseboards are often installed before flooring since they must be finished in place with either stain or paint and this is much easier without worrying about staining the hardwood tile or carpet. If adding baseboards after carpet is laid it should be installed at the same height as without carpet.

Cole love the avatar. If you care about doing quality work and not wasting time you paint the walls then install the hard floors cabinetry doors and trim. The carpet installer can run the tack strip up to the trim then roll excess carpet under the trim. Include in the price or use tile as the trim.

If so how big do you make it. Fresh paint splotches on new carpet is a nightmare. Not trying to jack thread but do other tile guys do that. Removing grout from carpet is no picnic either.

I do 12x12 3 trim 16x16 3 5 18x18 4 any bigger gets 4 5 p s. Well depends on size of base and thickness of padding and carpet if you are going with a 2 base and your carpet and pad is gonna be 1 thick you will have problems with your door stops. I install the flooring first then trim tight to it. There are many legitimate reasons to do construction work in the proper sequence.
