I love this video because:
1) there's no intro clip
2) there's no music
3) you get started right away
4) you know what you're doing
Thanks for the great tutorial, man! I subscribed 👍
Agreed!
The Canadian accent is a nice touch too
I also like that he shows when things dont go the way you want them to or over exaggerate how easy it is by starting somewhere other than the corner.
agreed
And no life story!
I actually really like how you show no one is perfect and everyday problems happen to you as well. You got a subscriber for actually breaking that piece of trim!
We like to keep it real Cam, thanks for subscribing
Yes, that's what I thought too. After all those things are going to happen in real life situations, may as well include them to show it's ok
I love that the video shows how it works in the real world - you know that the first thing that will happen is that a piece will break! Definitely going to try doing this myself now, it looks easy (she says...)
Yup, what he said.
Cool guys work in their socks, especially white socks. Nice!
you are the best contractor trainer. I am a home inspector. I have watched your videos on window, vinyl siding and many other installations. all your procedures are based on the most textbook guidelines without any short-cut . 💯👍
I know there are many contractor youtubers with more than a million subscribers but after watching some of their videos, i noticed that they make short-cuts in different installations that can raise any home inspector red flag.
I hope to see more videos from you.
Awesome, thank you!
I am sorry if my question is not related to your videos. I just wanted to ask my question in the comments.
As a general rule I know that the drywalls should not be tight in place and recommendation is to consider 1/4 inch short but I don’t know how in practice!
For example in ceiling:
Must the first sheet be tight against the corner or considered 1/4 inch gap against the corner? What about the next sheet beside it? And the last sheet on ceiling?
And the then after hanging on ceiling, the same questions for walls?
Would you please explain me or if you have a video about it, refer it to me?
Thanks
Followed your video and no breakage. Removed the baseboards and left the drywall intact. Thanks so much!!! I had to go out and buy that scraper / pull bar. Very helpful tool.
Great video! Another tip: If you break a piece, don't throw it away. Keep it to make it easier to measure the replacement you'll have to cut later.
💯
You can wood glue it back together too if it's small.
Thank you! Wicked smart.
This man is the saviour of the 2020 home improvement lockdown pandemic
Be sure to watch to 10:08 for the best new tip I saw when reviewing baseboard videos. Overall, great video, but once he gets through with the main gist you are tempted to cut out before the end. The tip about using the big bar underneath was worth watching to the end. [Except for YT's 3rd ad near the end, but hopefully they give this guy something for it.]
YES! I will benefit from that tomorrow, to be sure.
I'm just a homeowner trying to get a paint match for baseboards. Excellent video!!! Very worth my time to watch. Earned you a like and subscription in under 12 minutes, that's got to be a record. Excellent clear, efficient teaching. Sending blessings! 😇
Welcome aboard!
Hello, Shannon. You are so helpful, knowledgeable, and likeable. I always tell my women friends who are trying to do a repair to go on UA-cam and find home improvement videos by men who are Canadian, not U.S. men, because I have found you all are so community minded, kind, and generous. I found your channel today, and you have proven and reinforced that observation.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for this video. I really like how thoroughly, yet simply, you explained how to remove baseboards. And thanks for not having some kind of annoying music playing over your voice. Really appreciate the simple, yet effective production!
Nice tip with using a small scrap of wood to protect the wall. Last weekend I removed the baseboards in my foyer and kitchen in preparation to install vinyl floors. I used a tool called the Zenith trim puller that I found extremely useful. Unfortunately for me, the prior homeowners used the wrong nail type when they installed the trim so I had to be extra careful so as not the break the baseboards in half. Somehow only one small corner piece broke in half.
Thanks for demonstrating on the fiddly bits at the *end* of the wall and not just the long stretches.
Great video. Thanks for giving the courage to tackle a home improvement project myself (without making a mess of the drywall).
Very useful video. I thought I knew what I was doing, but realized SOMEONE can probably show me how to do it faster, more cleanly, and in most concise way. Thanks!
Thank you from 3 years in the future! Very helpful.
Good video! Thanks much. I also suggest using a 6” putty knife to use in place of the wood to protect the wall. Bill
Thank you!
I am fixing to remove them from my bathroom, good idea!
I successfully took off my trim thanks to your video. i appreciate you.
Seriously one of the best instructional videos I have seen. Answered every question without any fuss or drama. Thanks so much!
Thank you! I approached my baseboards with crowbar in hand, stopped, thought, "I should watch a UA-cam video, first."
You saved not only our wall, but I was able to save my baseboard for future use!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips! My new dog chewed up the baseboards in my brand new house and I’ve got some repairs to do so this is really helpful.
Shannon is easily the top home repairman on UA-cam. I wish i knew one percent of what he knows.
Thank you
What a great video. The explanations about what to do and not to do are really helpful. As someone who didn't know how to remove a baseboard without damaging the walls, I feel more able to do it because of this video. Thank you.
I watched a bunch of these videos and you were the most thorough and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! This video helped me understand how to take my time and remove the trim properly. I was going to use all quarter trim after installing new click and lock flooring. After spending $101 on two 10 by 10 rooms just for the quarter trim I about passed out. It would cost me over $1,000 if I needed to do this in all the rooms after floor upgrades. Now I'm going to remove the trim, install the floor then put the trim back on. Thank you for the tips. Wish me luck! 5 more rooms to go!
I’m doing a whole house reno. I had no idea this could be so costly. I was going to buy new baseboards but I’ll be more frugal!
Still the best home improvement channel.
Going to watch this a few more times over as I mentally prepare to do this to the base boards in my bathroom! Going to be doing a little renovation in there and I feel 10x more prepared now that I watched this video 🙌🏼
This was the BEST instructional video I've ever seen! Lots of tips I didn't know I needed. Thank you!
I like the way that corner design looks!
I have been watching your video one after another for 4+ hr...... enjoy all of them!
This guy is great, always perfectly on point.
Excellent video ! You just put my local handyman out of at least one job !
Lots of billiant tips that will surely save time and frustration. Also, I love tutorials like this that get right down to it without all the hype. Thank you for making this. It's really helpful.
I love the tip to remove nails as you go. Marking wall and piece will pay off. No music made me happy. I enjoyed your casual approach rather than the exhausting teach tone. I subscribed!
Thank you so much!
Awee, he's so adorable and he went straight to the point
About to remove baseboards from a large room and am glad I viewed this video before beginning my project. Some good tips! Thanks for posting!
Great advise thanks ripping up rugs to install flooring!! appreciate it
This was VERY helpful. My project requires I take a portion of a wall so I can flush a bookcase to the wall. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent tips… I’ve done this numerous times over the years but using this as a refresher I picked up a lot about three things that I didn’t know thank you
Thank you very much for the clear concise walkthrough of this procedure! You’ve saved me a great deal of time on my project, thank you!
I love it when I go to watch a home improvement video and it’s Shannon!
Shannon you are so good in all of your videos, thank you Shannon!
Great video, watched right before i moved some baseboards to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Removed them cleanly, with no damage to the boards or to the drywall.
I don’t have to remove any baseboards but if I did, man this was a perfect video!!
Then y u watching this video??
Funny enough, I was going to say something similar. I hope I don't have to remove the baseboards for my project. But I watched just in case. And now I know how if I do.
@@JAYZSLAYER01 because knowledge is power!!
@@KBlue728 Kim you made me smile
This video is so helpful. I’m removing my own baseboards to save some cost on project and was worried about damaging the walls (done it in the past). This video helped me to take off trim/baseboards with no issues. Thank you!!
That's exactly what I'm about to do. Contractor said I could save money by doing quarter rounds. I'd rather save money this way.
Straight and to the point. This is exactly what I was looking for.
The video was perfect. I had no problems to remove the baseboards.
Thanks for the nice video. I'm trying to learn things as I go to restore an old house I bought. I'm eager to try out these techniques!
I found using end nippers to remove the nails is easier and results in less damage to either the wall or the molding. The end nippers have a large rounded surface to spread the load out. I used to twist the pliers but it was difficult to do and caused damage. Even my kids and wife found the end nippers very easy to use. Just started using the slim bar which works so much better than the bar I used before. Great video and Thanks
Yes they do work well also.
Awesome video! And extra points for taking your shoes off before stepping on the carpet 👌🏻
Hey, great vid thanks! We are putting down some flooring soon and I need to remove the boards for this, so thanks. Could you also maybe do a video on making space under the door jamb to fit the flooring? They go right to the slab and we need to get the flooring under it!
Great tips, tried this today and it worked super well. Thanks!!
This was a great video talking about the detail in removal. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips! Always wondered how baseboard was removed without damage to the drywall.
Glad it was helpful!
Great teaching. Very detailing greatly appreciated thanks 🙏
Thank you! I'm glad you made this video, it helped me with my project.
Thanks for this video. It is going to help us in our baseboard project!
This was very helpful. Worked perfectly. Unlike the last time I tried years ago
Great video! Very meticulous in all the right ways!
Thanks,! Your video was very helpful; thanks for walking through the process slowly with details!
Well presented and articulated. Great assist with my bathroom project.
You're a great teacher. Thanks for your help.
Excellent video with clear instructions from start to finish! Well done!
I like your approach to explaining things
I didn't know you were Canadian, but that is cool. Great vid!
Thanks! That was very helpful and easy to learn from
Hell of a tutorial, I need a contractor like this for my home.
This has so many "tips" I almost stopped watching when you removed the trim BUT so glad I didn't as there are a couple of more really good ideas. Thanks for the clear an concise info.
Thanks for your video! We will be reusing our baseboards on a flooring project and you just helped us so much with this video!
Enjoyed this video. I have a big job ahead of me and you have made it easier. Thank you!
Thank you for doing this video...... it shows me that I can actually do this work myself!! Thank you again!!!!
Awesome video. slightly late but again in my case it was much more complicated as I have had thicker nails. I would not make using one tool. I used 2 crowbars like yours heavy and few more things to help. My problem was nails were 45 degrees so it was required to push off the wall and from the floor. But still same technic used wooden thing to avoid damaging
Thank you very much for the very complete, well explained, tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips! The ks for sharing this information. 👍Your experience is valuable.
Excellent video. To the point yet all the details we need. Thank you!
Shannon, you are awesome man! God bless!
Your vid really helped. Thanks a bunch!
great audio, there is no echo, you understand how to mike the video. And, great video. Good lighting. What was that thin tool called that you used? I need to buy one...
Look in the video description you will find a link to the bar.
So many good tips and steps to do this right. Thank you!
I liked this video, because every time I’ve taken out baseboards and hope to reuse them, some snap. It’s going to happen people.
Thanks a million for a well explained job. Bless you.
Great video thanks. I'll make my home project a lot easier.
good video on removing baseboard trim with link to tools used
Great job, thanks!
Super helpful, extremely clear advice. Subscribed!
Thank you! Very helpful. I'm removing baseboards today
Ugh UA-cam is filled with how to do this without damaging dryway and not a single tutorial on how to do it WITH damaging drywall 😾.
JK super helpful thank you very much.
Hey Shannon, how are you?
Just got a quick question a little unrelated to this video .. in regards to using finishing nailers, I know that 18 gauge is for trim and similar size material, but when do you decide to use a 15 gauge? Would you use a 15 g for door & window frames? Basically what areas are good for 18g and which for 15g.?
Thanks for your advice. Keep up the excellent content and thank you.
You a legend my man, appreciate u!
Thank you for mentioning what normal people usually do, like how they are painted over and how to fix that. It's very hard to find advice about fixing bad jobs on UA-cam or they skip over those parts.
Happy to help!
10:14 pure wizardry. thanks!
I'be got this trim pulling set I've never taken out of the package. It's a series of plastic wedges. I've got a hive tool, same as your red bar, that I do everything with too. The only thing I haven't done with it yet is make lunch.
That bar does an excellent job of spreading anything you want on a sandwich or prying open a can of bans ! LOL
Good video. You sound like a canadian friend i play Xbox with from Saskatchewan. haha
Maybe it's me? LOL.
@@HouseImprovements 😂
Great tips! Thanks!
I won’t enjoy this. But thanks to you, I’ll at least know what I’m doing!
Thanks I am trying this tomorrow please pray.🙏🙌😷
This is value added information.
Nice tips. Thanks
Thanks for the Great video. The only question I have is removing base boards at the inside corner. I'm guessing that purposely cutting one is the only way to go. Thanks for fhe idea of protecting the wall with a thin board.
Usually if you start removing further from the corner the baseboard will flex and pull out from behind the second one.
Would have been better to also show how to take off the corner where two forty five cuts meet.
Thanks 👍
