Baseboard Installation in Hillsborough, CA

Matching Hillsborough trim with samples we bring

Hillsborough's General Plan describes a town of low-density homes on half-acre minimum lots with no commercial or industrial uses at all; beyond homes, it's public facilities, parks, schools and two clubs. There's no lumberyard in town, so trim matching happens with samples. That matters most in older houses, where a baseboard profile may not be sold anymore.

Measure the baseboard's height and take a picture with the tape still in place; from that we bring the closest stock profiles to hold up in the room before buying. Then we cope inside corners, nail, fill, caulk the top edge, prime and paint. The miter saw only runs during Town hours: from 8 a.m. on weekdays, from 10 on Saturdays.

Worth knowing about Hillsborough

Hillsborough incorporated in 1910 largely so estate owners could keep a rural setting; estates such as Uplands were subdivided between 1910 and 1938, and the half-acre minimum lot dates to 1953.
The 1970s added more of Hillsborough's 3,821 homes than any other decade (24.5%); overall 73.6% predate 1980, and 11.4% date to 1939 or earlier.
The Town says many Hillsborough properties and homes lie within the Wildland Urban Interface, and it maps North, South and West WUI fire zones.

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.

Do you work in Hillsborough?

Yes. Hillsborough is about 5 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 9 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from North Hillsborough to South Hillsborough.

Who issues permits in Hillsborough?

The Town of Hillsborough Building & Planning Department, 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 Hillsborough?

Construction work and deliveries are allowed 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, with no noise-producing work on 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.
