Baseboard Replacement

In Aspen, CO pop-up store fronts are a common sight.  A pop-up office is a temporary workspace set up for short-term use. These offices are often designed to meet the needs of businesses or individuals requiring a flexible, on-demand working environment.  During the busy December ski and holiday season, commercial properties frequently become pop-ups in town.

One high visibility store front was leased by a luxury yacht broker for 16 weeks.  They needed a rapid replacement for some missing baseboards. The previous tenant had removed the baseboards for unknown reasons. Aspen Home Improvement was called in to quickly replace the missing baseboards in time for the Holiday real season.

Baseboards are important in office spaces because they create a clean and professional transition between walls and flooring, enhancing the workspace’s overall appearance. They protect walls from damage caused by chairs, cleaning equipment, and foot traffic, helping to maintain a polished and orderly environment. Additionally, baseboards seal gaps to prevent dirt and debris buildup, making maintenance easier and promoting a hygienic office setting.

To measure baseboards for replacement, consider these suggestions:

1. Measure the Length: Use a tape measure to check the length of each wall where the baseboards will be replaced. Add these lengths together and include an extra 10-15% to allow for cutting and adjustments.

2. Check the Height: Measure the height of your existing baseboards, or decide on a new height that complements the style and scale of your space.

3. Account for Thickness: Measure the thickness of the current baseboards, especially if they need to fit with existing trims or flooring. There are some common size thickness measurements.

4. Plan for Corners and Joints: Note the number of inside and outside corners and any unique features like door frames or architectural details.

If you’re unsure about measurements or installation, consider hiring a professional to ensure a perfect fit and finish.
