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 Chicago, IL.

Talk to our crew
How much does laminate flooring installation cost?
Price depends on room size, the laminate you pick, subfloor prep, tear-out and trim. Labor for a straight floating install is usually quoted per square foot, and stairs are quoted per step. We give a written estimate after we measure your home, so call (855) 751-1996 to book one.
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.
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.
Is laminate waterproof?
Standard laminate handles spills wiped up quickly. Waterproof laminate has sealed joints and a treated core rated to resist standing water for a set time. For kitchens, baths and basements we usually recommend waterproof lines.
Can laminate go on stairs?
Yes. Stair treads are glued, not floated, and finished with a matching stair nose. We check for squeaks and fasten loose treads before we start.
