How to fix the gap between the baseboard and the floor

- When changing out your flooring, you may find yourself with a gap between the baseboard and the floor if your new flooring is lower than your old flooring. Easy fix with some shoe molding.
Use a taller baseboard. The old base trim looks bad! New base trim will make the job look perfect.
The only problem is if the walls aren't very flat you can see it a lot more with taller baseboard
Damn right I always use a taller baseboard. New taller base looks way better than reusing old crusty base even if you put a fresh coat of paint on it.
Yup…a taller baseboard and wallaaaa….don’t even have to trim paint the walls.
Forgot that paint prep step where you sand down the nail hole filler.
Looks great.
When DIYers love DIYing so much they do a bunch of extra work to get to the same outcome.
Did you nail that to the vinyl floor?... not a good move... that flow is meant to float for expansion/contraction.. hard to do when it's nailed
Now all you need to do is lower all your door frames half of an inch. 😆
That's some 🔥 LVP! Totally looks like hardwood to me!
I think if I had the molding off already I would just get larger molding
Notice the Door jam gaps?
I haven't done the door jams yet. That will be a different video
I’m always surprised how many houses I see with high water jams….
What about the door casing still up high
Scrape what off the wall?
What did you nail the shoe molding to? Now your floating floor is not going to float because of how you nailed the shoe
nail the shoe molding to the drywall behind it, or angle it down and nail to subfloor behind vinyl flooring. There is a 1/4" gap between edge of floor and wall
Must of used like 3” pin nails lmao 🤣
@@thedailydiy it supposed to be nailed to the wall's base plate, driving the nail horizontally. This allows the floor to move independently. Everything moves and needs to be given the freedom to do so somewhat or breakage will occur.
Don't nail shoe into floor if it's a floating floor. An ya did
What about the door trim? It's all goofy still
Isn’t that called quarter round?
So now taking off the baseboard was completely useless because the shoe molding would have covered the gap there would’ve been between the floors and baseboards smh
Double work for the newbies lol
Soo much extra work
Had to remove baseboards to remove old flooring that was under them and install new. Think before y’all comment. Damn
@@terencemerritt no you don't it's that simple
@@kelanjames3488 let’s see it
you bought the shoe molding from Home Depot good for you you know you pay three times as much per foot for molding at Home Depot than you do it your conventional lumber yard so it probably would have been cheaper for you to buy new baseboard which is taller would make up that almost three quarter inch Gap you have there and it would look better but shoe molding yeah but yeah Home Depot's terrible on molding prices really bad
good job
What do you do when the door casings and door jambs are now a 1/2 inch short of the finished lvp flooring
How about the door jambs
Why invest in new expensive floor and not new baseboards that are much cheaper?
You'll never know there was a gap until you look at the bottom of the doors, all the jam and casing is short. Did you use quarter round there too? 🤣🤣🤣
Got to love a handy woman
You'll never know...? Then the vacuum won't knock the shoe mold right off? Yeah right! Not a pro tip lady.
Duh, buy 5 1/4 or other taller base board. It'll meet the floor, cover the old caulking edge ( after scraped off), and will cover the wall paper edge. Sheesh!!
How do you pop on paint?
Please use a 3 1/2 baseboard
I d rather just mud the top part and paint. Looks better and you save on buying the extra quarter round molding.
😆 Door casing fall a bit short too??? More like D.I.WHY?!
Just go with larger fresh molding!
You ain’t cleaning the caulk of that wall paper
It's skirting board love...
LVP stands for “LAMINATED vinyl plank”.
Wow you area genius. That's the way it's been done forever. You did not come up with some crazy new idea.
Wow, be nice! If you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. It looks like your momma forget that gem
I was thinking the same thing. Rookie diy’ers acting like they’ve the game😂😂
@@Mcgweeezy Go play with your frogs and video games. Not even your own momma wants to be around a negative Nancy.
Nailed it to the laminate? Yikes
laminate flooring right over top of the ceramic tile and then you don't have to use shoe mold and make it look stupid, also don't have to demo the tile
Shoe molding is the answer
You will at the door jambs
Thank you for not using quarter round.
Oh no not the quarter round! To me quarter round just screams "imperfect work hiding!" Not a fan of the quarter round
I don't think I have ever seen quarter round used for anything else but to hide gaps or screw ups. Not a fan either. Fortunately homeowners have no idea most of the time. Definitely not something a flooring guy would do, if you're in the trades it sticks out like a sore thumb
At least you used shoe molding instead of quarter round but pro's know you only use base shoe if you are remodeling...
Good cost effective fix
Should of not remove base boards just install floor and quarter round 😊
Lol u went through the trouble of removing the old base get rid of it buy larger base as a trim carpenter detaching and resetting old base board to save a few bucks is super cringe
Until I look at the door jambs.
Vinyl is nothing to do with luxury vinyls has everything to do with being cheap
You should never use Base Shoe. With the amount and time and money spend… the proper way would be to use taller baseboard. Looks more professional
Bug run.
Do your best and calk the rest

Caulk on wallpaper 😬😬😬
Skirting boards should have been replaced with taller ones not that shit trim looks cheap now
Nooooooo!!
Looks like a diy project. 😂
Have fun with all that caulking on the wallpaper
Let me guess you had carpet before? First you need to “not” take the baseboards off. You did double work for nothing if your gana use Quarter round
She said it was tile
@@jamesdawson6424 Audio was off “noted” let me know if I miss spelled anything too ok and thank you for doing it for free buddy.
Tile, and yes base needed removed to get old tile off and new installed.
She just removed the board and make a video????????......
no, I removed the boards to put new flooring in, then put the boards back
@The Daily DIY why though if you were just going to use shoe moulding? Could of just left them on?
nope ..nope and NOPE
Oh we know and it looks like s*** the painter
That looks bad, just get a taller baseboard.
Lmfao! Sorry!!
Omg
If you ever see cockroaches you'll be sure to know where they're hiding
You are an amateur and need someone to teach you. The doors and corners are were you separate the pros from the amateur
Yes, I am an amateur, that's why it's called "DIY". The door jambs and casings are done separately and in a different way.
Just genius just genius....
Not bad but trim on door doesn't match base board molding
I have not done the doors yet
shoe mold is tacky.....
luxury vinyl plank??????
Females should know there is thousands of men that do this work the right way on UA-cam before they post shit like this that will get clowned 🤣
Oh I will know
Or just buy new ones, it’s literally as cheap
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 damn it works for her and she likes it some of y'all suck 😂😂😂
If it’s for her keep it to herself and don’t force it on other people through a UA-cam short. It’s hack diy garbage
