Baseboard Installation in Redwood City, CA

Trim for Mezesville cottages and newer Redwood City homes

West of Brewster Street, the Mezesville district of the Centennial neighborhood keeps several Queen Anne cottages built before 1906, some with Eastlake-style lathe-turned and saw-cut wood details, and Stambaugh-Heller, near Middlefield Road, has homes going back to the mid-1800s. Trim in houses like these was often milled to profiles no lumberyard carries anymore, so a baseboard repair starts with deciding what can be matched and what should be replaced as a set.

Inside corners are coped so they stay closed as the house moves, and every board is nailed, filled, caulked and painted. After new flooring goes in, old boards rarely go back on clean, and new ones usually look better. A photo of the profile end-on, next to a ruler, lets us bring the nearest samples.

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 Redwood City: questions

Do you work in Redwood City?

Yes. Redwood City is about 15 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 22 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Mt. Carmel to Friendly Acres.

Who issues permits in Redwood City?

The City of Redwood City Community Development Department, Building Division (Building & Code Enforcement). 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 Redwood City?

Construction may run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and contractors can't work weekends or City holidays without written approval from the Building Official, requested 30 calendar days before construction starts. 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.
