What drives the cost of baseboard installation in Emmett

  • Linear footage and the number of rooms and corners
  • Profile and material: MDF, finger-jointed pine, poplar or hardwood
  • Matching or reproducing a historic profile
  • Removal of old trim and wall repair behind it
  • Floor and wall condition in older homes
  • Painting or staining included or not
  • The age of the home: the typical Emmett home was built around 1938, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Emmett

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Emmett was built around 1938. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

65% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Emmett building department before work starts.
