Baseboard Installation in Burlingame, CA

Baseboards for Craftsman, Tudor and ranch homes in Burlingame

Trim in Burlingame changes with the architecture. The General Plan dates the older neighborhoods' Craftsman homes to the 1910s and 1920s and their Tudors and Mediterraneans to the early and mid-1920s, while ranch and Eichler homes from the 1940s to 1960s are mainly in the postwar north end. Craftsman casing tends to be wide and flat; ranch houses usually got slimmer profiles.

Text a photo of the existing baseboard and casing with a tape measure held against them. Standard profiles are on the shelf at any lumberyard; for older ones we bring the nearest stock samples so you can choose before anything is bought. Then we cope the corners, nail, fill, caulk and paint, and the work slots in right after new flooring.

Worth knowing about Burlingame

Burlingame's General Plan describes older neighborhoods full of 1910s and 1920s Craftsman and vernacular homes, 1920s Tudors and Mediterraneans, and postwar ranch and Eichler homes mainly at the north end.
Almost 30% of Burlingame's 13,798 housing units (29.6%) were built in 1939 or earlier, more than in any later decade; 79.3% predate 1980.
The General Plan says Burlingame's 1910s and 1920s Craftsman and vernacular homes were typically built of wood shingles, wood siding, stucco, or a combination of these.

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 Burlingame: questions

Do you work in Burlingame?

Yes. Burlingame is about 5 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 10 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Burlingame Park to Mills Estates.

Who issues permits in Burlingame?

The City of Burlingame Building Division. 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 Burlingame?

Work that needs a permit is limited to 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, with none on Sundays or City holidays without written approval. 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.
