Replacing the trim and floors as well as painting. What order is best?
Here is my thought:
- Rip off trim
- Prime/paint
- install flooring
- Install trim
- patch/paint trim
- finish coat paint
-
Confused: are 3 and 7 the same? And is 6 the whole wall finish, or just cutting in at the top of the base caulking? (Hint: I'd do the latter.) – Aloysius Defenestrate Nov 22 '20 at 4:39

yes 7 was a repeat. 6 would include both. But now thinking of installing trim first then caulk and cut? – Marincountyspotter Nov 22 '20 at 5:15

Personally, I'd still do the main finish paint in step 2 so that you didn't have to worry about splattering paint on the trim or the floor. (FWIW, I like to do the finish paint on trim before install, as well. Then after install, it's just a little bit of touchup on nail holes and the aforementioned caulk.) Lots of rational people disagree on these things, though. – Aloysius Defenestrate Nov 22 '20 at 19:27
