Trim is what makes a laminate floor look finished. It also covers the expansion gap, which is why it matters as much as the planks.

At the walls, we either reinstall your existing base or put in new baseboard. If the base stays, we add quarter round or shoe molding to cover the 1/4 to 3/8 inch gap. Trim gets nailed to the wall, never to the floor, so the floor can still move.

At doorways we set a T-molding where laminate meets laminate across a long run, or where it meets tile or another floor at the same height. A reducer steps down to thinner flooring. An end cap finishes against a slider track or a fireplace hearth.

We undercut door jambs and casing with a jamb saw so the plank slides under the trim. That looks far cleaner than cutting the plank around the casing and caulking the gap. Doors often need a trim off the bottom after the floor goes in, and we handle that too. Paint-grade base is primed and ready for your painter, or we can bring a pre-finished white. Trim is included in every whole house laminate flooring quote.

Laminate flooring FAQs

Questions about laminate flooring installation

Questions we hear most often about Baseboard & Trim Installation in San Francisco, CA.

Talk to our crew
Does laminate need to acclimate before install?
Yes. We leave the boxes flat in the rooms for about 48 hours with the heat or air running at normal settings. That lets the HDF core adjust to your home's humidity so it does not grow or shrink much after install.
Can laminate go over concrete?
Yes. We check moisture first, then lay a 6-mil poly vapor barrier with taped seams, then underlayment, then the floating floor. The slab needs to be flat within about 3/16 inch over 10 feet.
Why do you leave a gap at the walls?
Laminate expands and contracts with humidity. We leave a 1/4 to 3/8 inch gap at every wall and fixed object and hide it under base or quarter round. Without it, the floor peaks or buckles.
Can laminate go on stairs?
Yes. Stair treads are glued, not floated, and finished with a matching stair nose. We check for squeaks and fasten loose treads before we start.
When is laminate floor replacement better than repair?
If one or two planks are damaged and you have spares, we repair. If water has swollen boards across a room or the wear layer is gone in traffic lanes, laminate floor replacement is usually the better value.
