I am a retired fine home builder from New England and I 100% agree trim first, flooring last. Our flooring installers would cut a slight back bevel wherever the flooring contacted the base. Also, we held the base up 3/8" as to not follow any sub floor discrepancies or decrease the base height too much. Most of our homes were oceanfront,which is about the worst high humidity condition there is, yet we never had any issues. Thank you for the videos. You and your team are next level craftsman. Design thru application!
Looking good guys! Awesome details!
Can't get a better compliment than that. Especially when it comes to your trim carpentry.
Architect here. The concerns about the outlet height may be for commercial spaces and not private residences. The accessible reach range starts at 15” above finish floor. Hence why outlets are usually at 18”. But this is a beautiful installation.
The detail with the outlets inset in the baseboard is exquisite. And I'm generally not one for too elaborate trim work, but when it looks as good as this does I'm a convert.
Can’t wait to see the final result of the high gloss room. Paint looks great.
Wow great hosting, commentary, and editing. You obviously put a lot of attention to detail in all you guys do. Can’t wait to see more from you guys!
Really nice. Good job Tim. Nailed it.
Wow, absolutely amazing work! Would love to see more on this build and others like it.
Outstanding Fellas!
Re-watched, recommended and forwarded!
More than educational, The right questions were asked & simple correct answers were given w/o TMI.
The whole video is well presented keeping the viewer engaged throughout.
Again, well done.
All The Best
Guy
killer details as always guys, great teamwork!
Poetic details. Lovely to see. Thank you :)
Incredible! Thank you for the inspiration.
Stunning execution
Outstanding details. Only wish we had this level of craftsmanship in the UK.
Wow incredible
That stand off crown is cool
I love your work, everything looks amazing. However I totally disagree with the base going down first. If the floor is down first, it can move under the base as long as its spaced off the wall. I would much have rather have the standard look of the base on top of the floor, even without shoe moulding. If it's about timing, then the floor should get done first. Its soo easy to cover floors nowadays so that you can do the trim and paint without jeopardizing the floor. Just my opinion, 18 yrs experience.
As a finisher whom has done both engineered and true material hardwood floor installs, has the issue of not having the ¼" gap for expansion not come up if the floor has buckling issues? If the gap is not installed as per manufacturers recommendations, doesn't that void warranty potentially?
I agree, I leave space around the wall and have my base cover the finished floor so that you never see the joint. I've never had an issue. I think these guys run a tight schedule and weren't willing to wait for the floor to get done first so they are trying to justify having the base done first- right down to the floor. I love the work, they make everything look amazing...I just don't see eye to eye on that one. I'm in NY so I deal with the same type of climate. Just saying, not trying to be a hater. I have a ton of respect for the forethought.
Yes, I agree with that. As a flooring contractor I always prefer to have the flooring installed prior to the base molding. Or, if due schedule they’re going to install the base, we always let them know that we need to leave expansion gaps to avoid problems for everyone in the future and they will need to install shoemolding.
Doesn’t matter if it’s engineered, glued down, or if it’s a very well stable moisture and temperature area, we need to leave expansion gaps.
Beautiful, if not extremely expensive, trim work.
Love the high lvl of detail in the millwork package. I think these traditional design methods are lost these days in “modern” high end home builds.
Amazing work! But Baseboard last is the safest way to go, it’s more work, but it’s technically sound and it looks better. Expansion is always an issue and regardless of how minimal. Baseboards first makes sense if you are pulling up the flooring every 8-10 years. But if you put in quality solid wood flooring, it still looks better with the floor tucked under. Unless your client is installing rift only flooring, expansion is always going to be a concern.
Good episode, it looks like there may be hydronic heating below the windows. If so, that would be great to see an episode on hydronics.
Very high end home
what brand and kind of paint was used on the trim ?
Completely understand your rationale for flooring after trim but surely the expansion gap will be unsightly. I've fitted flooring where the manufacturer required 12mm (1/2") expansion around the perimeter to provide the warranty.
Regardless, excellent work and great to hear how you thought out the sequence.
Dont they mount the baseboard higher off the floor to accomodate the expansion gap and slip it under the moulding gap. Anywayd thats how id imagine they do it
@@JOIHIINI You can see that the trim is about 1/4" off the subfloor. They're putting the floor against the trim with a minimal expansion gap. Their rationale is that it's harder to see an expansion gap looking down a wall rather than looking at the wall (ie under the trim after scribing). Also, it sounded like they were installing engineered hardwood.
Love my flushtek template. It’s amazing.
What is combo core substrate? Never heard of it. Is it Mdf or mdo?
Is there code for the recessed outlets?
OK really puzzed about baseboard first approach...say you did hardwood....when staining how would you keep stain off white....or the sanding process... stain will bleed threw tape......do you add shoe molding later????
The first 20sec gave me goosebumps. Your fingers were way too close to the cutting line. Overall, good job guys!
For the post trim (baseboard) flooring, why not add base shoe over the floor? You would have an expansion gap for the flooring and very tight fitment of the finished surfaces.
why wood crown as opposed to traditional plaster?
So walls hopefully are perfectly square installing floors after baseboards
definitely flooring first
15:39 no caulking required.... cool technique!
Shocked you didn't use engineered lumber on that moc up.
