Does Floor Moulding Go Before Carpet

I install the flooring first then trim tight to it.

Does floor moulding go before carpet. Removing grout from carpet is no picnic either. Carpet should nearly always be the last thing that you install. Not trying to jack thread but do other tile guys do that. If adding baseboards after carpet is laid it should be installed at the same height as without carpet.

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. If so how big do you make it. 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. So it s time for the new carpet to go in.

Include in the price or use tile as the trim. The carpet installer can run the tack strip up to the trim then roll excess carpet under the trim. As i ve said already this is the preferred method. Do you install the new baseboards before or after the carpet.

The key is to leave a gap so that the carpet can be easily slid underneath the trim. If you plan to install baseboard moulding before adding carpet it needs to be installed 1 inch above floor level to allow room for both pad and carpet. When installing baseboards before carpet ask the installer how large of a gap to leave between the floor and the trim e g. If you care about doing quality work and not wasting time you paint the walls then install the hard floors cabinetry doors and trim.

There s only one question remaining. Cole love the avatar. Do baseboards have to be removed to install carpet. Fresh paint splotches on new carpet is a nightmare.

Carpet layers should be the very last trade on the job. There are many legitimate reasons to do construction work in the proper sequence. Hold the first board against the wall level it then temporarily tack it in place. I do 12x12 3 trim 16x16 3 5 18x18 4 any bigger gets 4 5 p s.
