We are about to tearing up carpeting and vinyl flooring.
Going to replace them with tile and hardwood floors. Most everyone we
contact says it will look better if the baseboards are removed first, but no
one is willing to remove them because of fear of damaging or breaking
the baseboard. Wife thinks we can do it if we are careful, that's what
what she thinks --- her brother says she thinks too much.
Has anyone taken this project on and if so do you have any good advice
Pros & Cons?
Most say they would prefer to leave a gap along the edge and then put
shoe molding down --- wife doesn't like that idea.
Could use some advice good or bad.
