Baseboard & Trim Installation for Porter Heights Homeowners
Most baseboard and trim installation problems we get called out to in Porter Heights trace back to preparation rather than product. Humidity swings here move trim, so glued miters stay tight when nailed-only joints open. That is where our time goes on a Montgomery County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.
