Trim That Finishes Every Edge Cleanly
Baseboard and trim installation for homes in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene
Baseboards and trim cover gaps between flooring and walls, frame doorways, and hide uneven edges that show up after flooring or drywall work is finished. When trim is cut precisely and fastened securely, it sits flush against walls without gaps, creates clean lines at corners, and stays in place without pulling away over time in Spokane homes and beyond.
Stone Base Contractors LLC installs baseboards, door trim, and finish molding with accurate cutting, tight fitting, and caulking that fills small gaps before painting. The work coordinates with new flooring, remodel projects, or updates where old trim has been damaged or removed. You end up with edges that look intentional and finished instead of rough or incomplete.

How trim is cut, fit, and fastened
When the crew arrives in Spokane or beyond, they measure each wall and doorway, then cut baseboards and casing to length using a miter saw that creates angled joints at corners. Each piece is held in place and fastened with a finish nailer that drives small nails below the surface, leaving holes that can be filled and painted.
After installation, your walls and doorways have clean edges with tight corners, the trim sits flush without gaps, and the baseboards cover the space between flooring and drywall evenly. The trim does not pull away when touched, and the surface is ready for caulk, primer, and paint.
Stone Base Contractors LLC checks walls for level before fastening, adjusts cuts when corners are out of square, and caulks seams to prep for a smooth finish. The crew fills nail holes, cleans up sawdust, and ensures trim pieces align with flooring transitions without gaps or overlaps.
Homeowners usually want to know how long trim installation takes, whether caulking and painting are included, and what happens if walls are uneven or corners are not perfectly square.
Common concerns before trim work begins
What tools are used to cut and fasten trim?
A miter saw cuts precise angled joints at corners, and a finish nailer drives small nails that hold trim securely without splitting the wood. Caulk guns fill gaps, and sanders smooth rough edges before painting.
How are corners handled when walls are not square?
The crew adjusts miter angles using a bevel gauge to match the actual wall angle instead of assuming a perfect ninety degrees. This keeps joints tight even when walls are slightly out of square, which is common in older homes.
Why is caulking necessary after trim is installed?
Caulk fills small gaps between trim and walls or flooring, creating a smooth transition that looks cleaner after painting. It also prevents dirt and moisture from getting behind the trim over time.
When should baseboards be installed during a remodel?
Baseboards are installed after flooring is finished and walls are painted, but before final paint touch-ups. This sequence prevents damage to trim during flooring work and allows caulk and nail holes to be filled before the final coat.
Can trim be installed in Spokane area homes with textured walls?
Yes, but caulking becomes more important to fill gaps where trim does not sit flush against textured surfaces. The crew may also scribe trim pieces to match heavy texture patterns for a tighter fit.
