I am looking for dark baseboards / wall trims (smoked oak). Do I need to have them custom-made by a carpenter, or can I buy them ready-made somewhere?

Thanks and best regards, Frank

Baseboards at the Hardware Store

Hello Frank,

I would first check a hardware store to see if they have baseboards like that. Most hardware stores already offer baseboards in long lengths. If you don’t find anything at the hardware store, you will need to have the baseboards custom-made by a carpenter, which will probably be more expensive.

Visit a few hardware stores to see what products are available and, most importantly, what they cost. You could also get a quote from a carpenter to compare prices. The materials from the hardware store have the drawback that you have to do all the cutting yourself, including the miters and so on. It's definitely more precise when done by a professional.

Hello Frank,

You can definitely have your baseboards cut to size at the home improvement store. It just costs a bit more. Of course, you can also cut the baseboards yourself. But you will likely find a wide selection of baseboards at the home improvement store, as going to a carpenter will be considerably more expensive.
