So we have decided to install new carpet and our baseboards are trashed (now they are removed in preparation for the new carpet.) We started by going to Lowes and Home Depot for our quest for new base. OMG for an eight foot piece (of a some designs we liked) they wanted between $17-$25 per piece. (With what we need it would take 35 pieces. So at $17/per piece it would be $595 and at $25/per piece it would be $875. OUCH! ...and this is before any of it is painted or installed.
Enter Creative Door & Moulding. We walked into their front office and then were shown into their warehouse/showroom. We were shown a display cabinet with every kind of baseboard, crown moulding, chair rail, and even doors that were available. We landed on two different styles that are already primed and ready to be painted. We went back to the front office to have the styles quoted out. We were told that all of their base comes in 16' sections not 8' (bonus) and then he looked up how much it would be for 18 pieces. (Brace Yourself...) $252 w/tax um...REALLY??!! Where do I sign?
We are getting the carpet installed first, but we will be purchasing the base from them and they even deliver to you front door. Save yourself over 50% from the big box store an check out another local business. read more
