Baseboard Installation in Millbrae, CA

Matching trim in Millbrae's pre-1980 houses

Census estimates put 76.7% of Millbrae's 8,705 housing units before 1980 and 6.4% in 1939 or earlier, with the 1950s the busiest decade. Older trim can be a profile no store carries now, or a mix left by past repairs. When new flooring goes in, the question is whether to match the old baseboard or replace a whole floor's worth at once.

Text a photo of a baseboard section with a tape measure against it and we'll bring the closest samples. We cope the inside corners, nail and fill, caulk the top edge and paint. If a leak swelled the old boards, the source has to be fixed and the wall dry first. Noisy cutting stays inside Millbrae's hours, which start at 8 a.m. on Saturdays.

Worth knowing about Millbrae

The Housing Element dates Millbrae Highlands and Marina Vista to 1900 through 1929, Bayside Manor and Lomita Hills to 1930 through 1949, and the western hills to 1950 through 1969.
Roughly three in four Millbrae homes (76.7% of 8,705 units) predate 1980; more went up in the 1950s than in any other decade, 23.0% of the total.
The San Andreas Fault lies within a mile of Millbrae's western edge, the Serra Fault crosses the city, and soils in the east have very high liquefaction susceptibility.

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.
