Hello everyone,
My partner and I are about to build a new single-family house and we're currently stuck on the topic of baseboards. Of course, flush-mounted baseboards would look much better everywhere, but in the end, it’s also a matter of cost. Does anyone have experience with this? In which rooms did you choose which type of baseboards? How expensive was it? As homeowners, do we need to consider or organize more ourselves, or do the trades usually handle it?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!

We wanted to avoid gluing so that the trim can be removed later, for example when painting."Sharp" masking?

the screws and especially the door frames would bother me as well. Otherwise, nicely done and well described. It's not rocket science but definitely very time-consuming and therefore costly to subcontract.
Best regards!
