Does floor moulding go before carpet.

I do 12x12 3 trim 16x16 3 5 18x18 4 any bigger gets 4 5 p s. Carpet layers should be the very last trade on the job. The carpet installer can run the tack strip up to the trim then roll excess carpet under the trim. Removing grout from carpet is no picnic either.

When installing baseboards before carpet ask the installer how large of a gap to leave between the floor and the trim e g. I install the flooring first then trim tight to it. Fresh paint splotches on new carpet is a nightmare. As i ve said already this is the preferred method.

Well depends on size of base and thickness of padding and carpet if you are going with a 2 base and your carpet and pad is gonna be 1 thick you will have problems with your door stops. There s only one question remaining. So it s time for the new carpet to go in. If so how big do you make it.

Hold the first board against the wall level it then temporarily tack it in place. You can do all the staining and painting before you bring the carpet in so there s no chance of a spill ruining your brand new flooring. There are many legitimate reasons to do construction work in the proper sequence. If you plan to install baseboard moulding before adding carpet it needs to be installed 1 inch above floor level to allow room for both pad and carpet.

Do baseboards have to be removed to install carpet. So take that into consideration with 3 or taller base i d go base first smaller base you will need to hold it up off the floor or do it after carpet. Do you install the new baseboards before or after the carpet. Carpet should nearly always be the last thing that you install.

If adding baseboards after carpet is laid it should be installed at the same height as without carpet. No baseboards do not need to be removed. Not trying to jack thread but do other tile guys do that. The key is to leave a gap so that the carpet can be easily slid underneath the trim.
