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 Washington, DC.

Talk to our crew
What AC rating do I need?
AC3 suits most homes, including bedrooms, living rooms and halls. AC4 holds up better to pets, kids and kitchen or entry traffic. We install mostly AC3 and AC4 boards and will tell you which fits each room.
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.
Is laminate waterproof?
Standard laminate handles spills wiped up quickly. Waterproof laminate has sealed joints and a treated core rated to resist standing water for a set time. For kitchens, baths and basements we usually recommend waterproof lines.
How long does laminate floor installation take?
One or two rooms usually take a day. A whole main floor of 1,000 to 1,500 square feet runs two to four days, including tear-out and trim. Leveling compound can add a drying day.
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.
