Depending on the design of the room, it may be wise or even strictly necessary to remove doors and baseboard molding so that your carpeting fits squarely against all edges. You can probably install the new carpet without having to take off the baseboards first.)Click to see full answer. Moreover, can you remove carpet without removing baseboards?Most of the time old carpet is not underneath the baseboards (baseboards are the trim pieces that sit at the bottom of your wall). Thus, you shouldn’t have to remove the baseboards when taking out smelly carpet. Start at one corner of your room and try to pull up the carpet.Also Know, should you install baseboard before or after carpet? No, baseboards do not need to be removed. When installing baseboards before carpet, ask the installer how large of a gap to leave between the floor and the trim (e.g., ½”). The carpet installer can run the tack strip up to the trim, then roll excess carpet under the trim. Likewise, do I install baseboards before carpet? Baseboards are often installed before flooring, since they must be finished in place with either stain or paint and this is much easier without worrying about staining the hardwood, tile or carpet. There is no hard and fast rule as to how high the baseboard must be installed.Should I paint trim before installing?There is no need to paint it before the install, because by the time you install it, do the caulking, fill nail holes,etc you will have to re-paint it anyway.
