Baseboard installation near me, with window and door casing, covers new base after flooring, whole-house trim swaps, and matching the profile in older homes. JMB Builders does it in homes across the Twin Cities metro: inside corners coped, outside corners mitered, and the base scribed to the floor so the line reads straight. Baseboard is priced per linear foot and casing per opening. Send photos and we reply within one business day.
- Baseboard per linear foot, casing per opening
- Coped corners, scribed to the floor
- Old trim removed and hauled away
Baseboard and casing are the trim you see in every single room — and the first place cheap work shows. Gaps at the miters, wavy lines over uneven floors, and caulk doing a carpenter's job are what you get from the low bid. JMB Builders installs baseboard, shoe molding, and window and door casing throughout the Twin Cities metro, scribed to real-world floors and walls so the lines read straight everywhere.
As a window and door contractor first, casing is home turf for us: jamb extensions, sills, aprons, and full trim-outs after window replacement — whether we installed your windows or another company left the job unfinished. We also match existing profiles in older homes where the original millwork is no longer stocked.

How it is priced: per linear foot
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Linear footage of baseboard and the number of window and door openings
- Profile size and complexity — taller, detailed profiles cost more than ranch base
- Paint-grade vs. stain-grade material
- Removal and disposal of existing trim
- Floor and wall conditions that call for scribing, shimming, or profile matching
Send a photo of each room from the doorway, a close-up of the existing trim, and the number of windows and doors. Rough wall lengths help; we measure on site only if needed.
How long it takes
Baseboard in one room after new flooring: a few hours. A whole main floor of base and shoe: one to two days. Whole-house base and casing: a few days, set by footage and openings.

Baseboard & Casing Installation: questions, answered
How much does baseboard installation cost in the Twin Cities?
Baseboard is priced by linear foot and varies with the profile you choose, paint-grade vs. stain-grade material, and whether we're removing old trim. Whole-home projects price better per foot than single rooms. Estimates are free and itemized, so you'll see exactly where the number comes from.
I just got new flooring — can you replace my baseboard?
Yes, and that's the perfect time to do it. New flooring often leaves gaps or height mismatches at the old base. We'll install new baseboard or shoe molding scribed cleanly to the new floor, and you'll never see the transition.
Can you match the existing trim in my older home?
In most cases, yes. Many pre-1960s Twin Cities homes have profiles that are no longer stocked, but they can usually be matched with milled or built-up alternatives that blend seamlessly. Bring us a sample piece or we'll measure the profile on site.
My windows were installed but never trimmed out — can you finish them?
Absolutely. Un-trimmed or poorly trimmed windows are one of our most common calls. We'll handle jamb extensions, casing, sills, and aprons as a standalone project, whether we installed the windows or not.
Should I use MDF or wood baseboard?
For painted trim, primed MDF is the smoothest and most stable choice and it takes paint well. Finger-jointed pine is the wood option for paint-grade and holds up better to kicks and vacuum bumps. For stain-grade you need solid wood: oak, maple, poplar or pine to match what is already in the house. Bathrooms, mudrooms and anywhere the floor gets wet are better in pine or PVC than MDF, which swells when it soaks up water.
