Baseboard Installation in Markham

Baseboards are more than just a trim piece; they are the critical detail that ties a room together. Too often, this final step is rushed, resulting in visible gaps and sloppy corners. I believe the small things make the biggest difference. My entire focus is on getting those details exactly right, ensuring every joint is tight and every line is clean. For homeowners in Markham, I provide an installation service where precision isn't just a goal, it's a guarantee.

Why Every Millimetre Matters

Properly installed baseboards do more than just hide the gap between the flooring and the wall. They protect your drywall from scuffs and bumps from vacuums and furniture, and they provide a crisp visual foundation for the entire room. When corners don't meet perfectly, or the top edge isn't caulked smoothly, it catches the eye for all the wrong reasons. My approach is rooted in the belief that this finishing element deserves as much attention to detail as the flooring itself. It's about creating a cohesive, polished look that stands up to close inspection.

My Meticulous Installation Process

Getting a flawless result requires a methodical process, not shortcuts. It starts with carefully removing any old trim to minimize wall damage. I then take precise measurements, accounting for every corner and angle. Each piece is cut to exact specifications, and for walls or floors that aren't perfectly straight—which is common in many homes—I scribe the baseboard to the contour of the surface. This ensures there are no unsightly gaps. I secure the baseboards with both adhesive and finishing nails driven into studs for a permanent hold that won't pull away from the wall over time.

The Finishing Details

The job isn't done once the baseboards are attached to the wall. The final steps are what create that truly professional finish. I fill every nail hole so it becomes invisible after painting. Then, I apply a thin, clean bead of caulk along the top edge where the trim meets the wall. This creates a seamless transition and hides any minor imperfections in the drywall. It’s this painstaking attention to the small details that ensures your new baseboards look like they were always meant to be there.
