If you're talking about vertically, the new flooring is thicker than
the old, and there's not enough room under the baseboard, use a jamb
saw to undercut the baseboard. If the new flooring is thinner, use a
piece of lattice before applying the base shoe, or mill an extended
shoe (difference would rarely be more than 1/4" to 1/2").

Jamb saw for 60' of baseboard? And it will look like crap anyway done like
that. Technically, yes you could do it, but removing the baseboard,
finishing/painting while it is off, and repositioning it to the proper place
is a mch more professional job. If a contractor tried to cut the basebaord
I'd kick his ass right out.
