Thanks, T.P.

I think I'll just get this over with. Many, many years ago I worked as a
carpet installer. I honestly can't remember how badly we treated
baseboards....

Hopefully my installers will be gentle and my painting project will finally
be over!

I'd say do it now. There is nothing more tedious and migraine inducing
than
taping down to paint and worrying about getting paint on the carpet.
Especially brand new carpet.

Hello,

I've finished painting my home interior except for the baseboards. In
three
days I'm having new carpet installed. Should I paint the baseboards
before
the new carpet is installed?

My plan is to paint the baseboards before the carpet install, then
touch
up
any scuff marks made by the carpet installers afterwards. My old carpet
has
been removed, so I won't have to worry about protecting the floor if I
paint
them now. My concern is that the carpet installers may damage the
baseboards
to the point where I'd have to completely re-paint them, so I'd be
painting
them twice.

Should I wait until the carpet install is complete before painting the
baseboards?

Thanks,
Rev
