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 Saint Louis, MO.

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.
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.
Can you install laminate over my old floor?
Laminate can float over sound, flat vinyl or tile. It should not go over carpet. We look at the old floor during the estimate and tell you whether it can stay or should come out.
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.
