How to Install Baseboard

by Remodeling Guy on March 7, 2009

I’ve searched high and low on the internet to find you a great video.   Truth be told, there is not much out there on this subject that I was very impressed with!  I might have to break down and do a real video showing you first hand how to do this.

In the meantime, you can probably glean plenty of knowledge from what is out there and what I’ve provided here.  The way you learn is by doing anyway, so I suggest you just buy a little extra and go for it.  If you cut a couple of boards  wrong, the world won’t end!  Just keep trying and remember, there is always the caulking gun!

First, a video I did on the various cuts involved:

Of the videos I found, here are a couple of the most helpful:

If you get into it and have some questions, let me know in the comments and I’ll answer them there ASAP!!  Have a great weekend and be sure to check back on Monday for the continuation of the series on Home Staging I’m doing with The Nester!

Good explanation of the math involved in baseboards! I always like geometry!

I have been hoping for this very thing… I think you need to do a video on it tho… because you are right there really isn’t anything out there that is that great for a lay person. Loving your newsletter and your site. thank you for being here.
