Need advice on removing baseboards when installing new tile and hardwood floors

[Sam3]

I just got done doing a similar project for my sister-in-law, but we put laminate flooring in over top of the vinyl. We took the baseboards off like iaJim suggested, carefully and slowly. The wall was not damaged and the baseboards remained in one piece. In any case, you will need quarter round, as the baseboards usually are 1/4" wide and may not cover up the float completely.
