Baseboard Installation in Atherton, CA

Baseboards and casing for Atherton's 1940s and 1950s subdivisions

Atherton's large estates were broken up in stages. James Flood's Linden Towers estate was subdivided in 1938 into what is now Lindenwood, and over 80 subdivisions were recorded in the 1940s and 1950s, ending the era of large estates. Trim from those decades has often been painted many times, dried out and turned brittle, and it rarely survives being pulled off for a new floor.

We bring samples of common profiles and say plainly how close each one gets to yours; sometimes replacing a whole room reads better than patching in a near match. Inside corners are coped, not just mitered. Crews and trucks keep to the Town's 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekday window and park on your side of the street.

Worth knowing about Atherton

Atherton has only two residential zones, R-1A with a 1-acre minimum lot and R-1B with 13,500 square feet, and no commercial or industrial land.
The Housing Element puts the largest block of housing (1,087 units) in 1940 to 1959 and counts 606 acre-plus lots with a house built before 1970.
Joe Eichler's own Lindenwood home, designed by Anshen and Allen, was built in 1951; only a few of the large Eichlers he later built there still stand.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

Baseboards & trim in Atherton: questions

Do you work in Atherton?

Yes. Atherton is about 18 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 27 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Lindenwood to West Atherton.

Who issues permits in Atherton?

The Town of Atherton Building Department. Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Atherton?

Construction, deliveries and servicing on a job site are allowed only 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, with no work on Saturdays, Sundays or Town holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

Do you install baseboards after new flooring?

Yes. It's one of the most common calls: the floor goes in, the old baseboards don't fit or broke coming off, and new ones go on.
