What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Pulls damaged, swollen or chewed baseboard without tearing the drywall above it
- Cuts and fits new base with coped inside corners and mitered outside corners
- Nails, fills, caulks and paints or stains the new run to match the room
How it works
- Find why the base failed, such as a past leak, pet damage or a vacuum-chipped edge, and check that the wall behind it is dry
- Remove the damaged lengths and match the profile, height and thickness with stock or the closest available molding
- Install, fill nail holes, caulk the top edge and finish
- Referred out: an active leak behind the wall or under the floor goes to a licensed plumber before new trim goes on
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; nothing is cut until the profile match and the finish are agreed.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
