Why Calgary homeowners book this
Furniture moves always pull baseboard off the wall
Moving in or out means furniture edges catch on baseboard corners and sections get pulled loose or snapped. We renail, fill and caulk everything in one visit so the room looks right before you settle in — or before photos go live for the sale.
Caulking gaps before painting saves the edge
Painting over an uncaulked gap between baseboard and wall looks fine the first week — then the gap opens again as the house breathes and the paint edge cracks. Caulking first fills the joint permanently so the painted edge holds through Calgary's temperature swings.
New flooring means baseboard was removed — it needs to go back
Flooring installers remove baseboard to get the flooring flush to the wall. Once the floors are done, baseboard reinstallation is a separate task. We cut the lengths, mitre the corners, nail, fill and caulk so the flooring install is fully finished.
What is included
- Renail or re-glue loose baseboard sections
- Replace damaged sections with matching profile
- Fill all nail holes with wood filler
- Sand smooth when dry
- Caulk gap between baseboard and wall

- Cut and fit any replacement lengths
- Mitre corners where needed
- Fill and sand corner joints
- Apply primer to bare wood patches
- Cleanup sawdust and filler dust
- Advise on paint-ready finish or same-visit paint touch-up

Who books this service
After a move
Furniture dragged along the wall during a move pulls baseboard loose or snaps corners. We renail, fill and caulk so the room looks right again.
Pre-sale interior touch-up
Loose trim and visible nail holes are among the first things buyers notice. A baseboard repair visit makes the interior look maintained and move-in ready.
After new flooring install
New flooring almost always requires baseboard removal. Once the floors are done, baseboard goes back on — cut, nailed, caulked and ready to paint.
After door replacement or relocation
Door work leaves gaps in the baseboard run. We cut and fit replacement sections to match the existing profile and caulk the joints.
Rental property refresh
Tenant turnover is hard on trim. We handle the full repair — renailing, filling and caulking — so the unit is ready for photos and the next lease.
Before interior repainting
Painters need trim that is tight and caulked. We prep the baseboard so the painter gets a clean edge and the finished paint job holds.
What to have ready before we arrive
A quick prep saves time on the day and helps us get the repair done without a second trip.
Walk the room and note every problem section
Note every section that is loose, cracked, gapped or damaged before we arrive. The more complete the list, the faster we can work through the room in one pass.
Have leftover trim paint ready if you want touch-ups
If you want colour-matched paint touch-ups over the filled nail holes, have the leftover trim paint available. We prime everything — paint touch-up is a same-visit add-on if you supply the paint.
Clear furniture away from walls
Move furniture at least 60 cm away from all baseboard sections we are working on. We need clear access along the full wall to nail, caulk and fill without stepping around obstacles.
Tip: If a section of baseboard is fully detached, leave it in place rather than pulling it off — it is easier to renail from the original position and keeps the wall paint intact behind it.
★★★★★Google Review“Fixed all the baseboard that our movers damaged. Filled the nail holes, caulked the gaps and touched up the paint. Room looks completely finished now.”
Caulking baseboard gaps before painting locks the edge
A painted-over gap between baseboard and wall shrinks and opens again as the house breathes. Caulking first fills the gap permanently so the painted edge stays sharp through temperature and humidity swings.
Calgary homes have pronounced seasonal wood movement due to the swing from -30°C dry winters to +30°C summers. Baseboard gaps are wider here than in most Canadian cities and caulking is especially important before any interior paint work.

Frequently asked questions
Why does baseboard pull away from the wall?
Baseboard pulls away from the wall due to seasonal wood movement, nails that were not driven into studs, or impact from furniture. Calgary homes experience wide temperature and humidity swings that cause nails to work loose over time — caulking and renailing into studs is the correct fix.
Can you replace just one section of baseboard?
Yes. We replace individual sections where damage is isolated. The challenge is matching the existing profile — a cut-off sample from a closet or hidden area helps us find the right match at the lumber yard before the job starts.
Do you paint the baseboard?
We fill nail holes, sand them smooth and prime any bare wood patches. If you supply leftover trim paint, we touch up the repaired areas in the same visit. Full paint is a separate scope — we deliver paint-ready trim.
What is the gap between baseboard and floor?
A gap at the floor usually means baseboard was installed before flooring or the floor has settled. Quarter-round moulding is the standard solution — nailed to the baseboard rather than the floor so the floor can still expand and contract.
How long does baseboard repair take?
A single-room repair typically takes 1–2 hours depending on how many sections need attention. Multi-room or full post-flooring installs take longer. We estimate the time when we see the photos and confirm before booking.
Can you match my existing baseboard profile?
Most standard profiles are stocked at Calgary lumber yards. Bring a 30–40 cm cut-off sample if the profile looks older or custom. We identify the profile, source a match and advise before any material is cut.
Do you install quarter-round?
Yes. Quarter-round covers the expansion gap between baseboard and flooring. It is a common add-on after new floor installs — we cut, nail and caulk it in the same visit as baseboard work.
What if the baseboard profile is discontinued?
If the exact profile is no longer produced, we recommend the closest available match or a complementary profile that reads consistently in the room. We advise before cutting so you can approve the choice before any material is installed.
Can you caulk baseboard the same day as the repair?
Yes. Caulking is included in all baseboard repair work. We caulk the top edge at the wall and the bottom edge at the floor in the same visit. Paintable caulk is ready for primer within a few hours.
What is the difference between baseboard repair and new install?
Repair means fixing, renailing or replacing sections of existing baseboard. New install means measuring, cutting and nailing baseboard into a room where none currently exists — typically after a renovation or new flooring. New installs are quoted separately based on linear footage.
