Baseboard Installers FAQs
Baseboard installers in your area routinely install trim on crooked walls. This is a common problem in older houses, where the house may have settled or warped over the years. However, these installations may require more time, increasing the cost.
Trim is a general term for the material at the corners between walls, floors, and ceilings. It also includes materials around openings in walls such as windows and doors. Molding is a type of trim that’s purely decorative and typically has more elaborate detail.
Finish carpenters can install trim at the rate of about 20 linear feet per hour. A typical project requiring 125 linear feet of trim would take about 6.25 hours to install.
When you add the labor required to trim your house, the price of materials, and the cost to finish or paint the trim once installed, it will cost roughly $2,000 to $2,800 to trim a 2,000-square-foot house. Of course, this could be higher if you choose custom moldings, or lower if you choose a more affordable option like quarter round.
To get an accurate price, chat with a carpenter who can calculate the materials needed to frame certain aspects of your home like windows, doors, and baseboards, as well as adding custom features like wainscoting or crown molding.
