General Baseboard Information
Baseboard installation is relatively easy. In my instruction pages I am walking you through actual examples of how to start applying base in a room which includes matching the wood and explaining how to make the cuts. Although I have installed many different styles and sizes of base all of these methods I explain will work with just about any style and not only that but these methods can be applied to quarter round or shoe and even in some circumstances crown molding. By learning these techniques you gain valuble information that can be applied in many circumstances and gives you a jump start on your trimming jobs.For example starting out with basic basing go to installation but if you want to skip ahead and learn how to do a return go to this page returns. If you want to learn how to cope an inside corner there are some pictures for coping skip to coping. If you just want to do a 90 degree outside corner go to cutting at 90 degree corners. If you don't want to deal with all of the corners there are some products out there to make basing a little easier. Refer to the baseboard products page for more information on this.
By valuble information I am refering to other jobs like maybe someone needs some shoe or quarter round applied to the bottom of their cabinets. Maybe you would like to build a nice mantle or would like to install some nice chair rail. By learning to base you already know how to make the cuts for these jobs and can apply what you know in many other situations.
