About this deal

Repeat along the length of the trim you’re removing, specifically where there are nails holding the trim in place, until the trim comes completely loose. Take extra care to pry carefully if your baseboards have been adhered to the wall with any type of glue. Now that the baseboard is finally unglued from the wall, floor or another board, it’s time to use your trim puller. Align the trim puller between the baseboard and drywall (this will be where you just ran your razor blade).

You are installing new floors. In this case, you might want to reuse the baseboards to save money. You don’t need to remove the baseboards for all types of flooring but it looks more professional when you do. The best way to install baseboards is to use a brad nailer and nail them in place. Then finish with a run of caulking along the top and in any corners. Finish with filler (for the corners and brad nail holes) and paint.Of course, now that you’ve removed the baseboards, you’ll need to clean up both the wall and the baseboards themselves.

have been screwed in place, and you cannot see or access (maybe because of filler) the screw heads you may need to pry them out of the wall along with the baseboard in the next step and then remove them from the freed baseboard by unscrewing them. I mean, you could use a trim puller/baseboard removal tool, and I’ve listed a great one below. But, unless you’re going to be removing a LOT of baseboards, you can definitely do this project with common tools most homeowners have on hand. Tools you need to remove baseboards The thin ends come in handy quite often when removing mouldings,” explained a professional finish/trim carpenter who works on high-end custom homes. “The thin ends allow me to remove boards while causing less damage to the moulding and whatever it's attached to.”I knew there had to be an easier way to remove baseboards without damaging them or the walls. I found out how to do it and now you can too! If you have quarter round or other floor trim, it can be removed the same way, following the steps above. How to Remove Glue and Clean up I have had this little workhorse for many years,” wrote one reviewer who was trying to find the same one for their son. “I searched online and found this beauty at an incredible price. It will be in his roll bag for the rest of his life. This is a must-have tool for a carpenter and will last a lifetime.”

Take the hammer and tap the top of the trim puller. This will allow the tool to slide behind the baseboard. Keep tapping until the flat part of the puller is flush with the top of the baseboard.Of course, if you don’t want to buy a new tool, you can remove baseboards with a putty knife, pry bar, and hammer (we’ve done that!) but this tool is inexpensive and will save you a lot of frustration. Why would you need to remove baseboards? Next, you can either use a putty knife or flat razor blade to slowly scrape the wall where the caulk was previously placed along the trim. This extra step will give you a smooth surface to work with when you’re ready to reinstall the baseboard.
