Baseboard Installation in Menlo Park, CA

Trim for original and rebuilt Sharon Heights homes

Sharon Heights was built in the 1960s on land that was once a single large estate, subdivided into ranch-style homes on large lots with underground utilities, and many of the originals have since been torn down for newer, larger houses. That leaves two kinds of trim jobs side by side: matching a 1960s profile in an original house, and running new baseboard and casing through a remodel or addition.

Inside corners get coped so the joints stay closed, and boards are nailed, filled, caulked and painted, before or after install. For an older profile we bring samples and say which is closest. Shoe molding or quarter round covers the gap when a new floor leaves one at the bottom of the baseboard. A photo of an outside corner shows the profile best.

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 Menlo Park: questions

Do you work in Menlo Park?

Yes. Menlo Park is about 20 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 30 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Allied Arts/Stanford Park to The Willows.

Who issues permits in Menlo Park?

The City of Menlo Park Community Development 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 Menlo Park?

Construction noise is exempt from the residential noise limit 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; on weekends and holidays, only residents and owners doing their own work get that exemption, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 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.
