Central Southwest Baseboard & Trim Installation
the Central Southwest area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the baseboard and trim installation scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Older floors in this area are rarely flat, and scribing is what hides that.
Our Baseboard & Trim Installation scope in Central Southwest
- Runs measured and stock scribed to uneven walls and floors
- Miters glued and pinned, not just nailed
- Returns and outside corners built rather than caulked
- Nail holes filled, joints caulked, then painted
Central Southwest is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
We do not quote baseboard and trim installation sight unseen. Someone comes out to Central Southwest, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
