You can countersink, I guess, and cover the hole with matching filler. Don't
put the nail into the laminate.

I see you didn't take my original suggestion about removing the baseboards
and putting the laminate underneath.



I had already begun laying the flooring when you recommended removing
the baseboards, I just hadn't worked my way up to the door jambs. Next
job the baseboards will be removed. I would be curious to know what
most installers do with regard to existing baseboards.


We had baseboards undercut when we had tile installed. Not a DIY job
here, but it was done just
after a new paint job without dinging the paint. No quarter round.
