NYC Baseboard Installation 10038
Baseboards might be considered even an afterthought in some circles, but where condo living is cool and style matters, baseboards are relevant. Besides their obvious function to protect the lowest part of walls, baseboards offer an attractive finish in the place where a wall meets the floor. This junction can leak interior air, and the baseboard offers an insulation value. Most all trim and molding adds home value, and baseboards, especially these baseboards, definitely raise the bar on the next selling price.
The first task on a project like this is to protect the floors and remove and dispose of any old baseboard material. From there, it’s a mathematical exercise in measuring, calculating trim length, factoring in mitered corners and assembling equipment. A variety of saws with sharp blades, levels, paint, affixing supplies, drop cloths, rollers and brushes are part of what’s needed.
Our experts measure everything meticulously, and of course twice, before cutting all the pieces for a baseboard’s linear puzzle. It is primed and painted last with the precision of a surgeon for straight lines and a smooth finish. This high style of baseboard is a perfect fit for a beautiful condo in the Financial District, where accuracy in numbers matters in the glass towers just as much as they do in our line of work. The extra baseboard height provides more function in taking on scrapes and scuffs and artistically blends traditional style and contemporary design.
