        "text": "Typically, you do not need to remove existing tile or flooring to install new baseboard molding. Baseboards are designed to sit on top of the finished floor, covering the expansion gap between the wall and the flooring material. If your current baseboards are being replaced, our team will carefully remove them first. The new baseboards will then be cut to fit precisely over your existing tile or flooring. In some cases, if the flooring is exceptionally thick, a slightly taller baseboard might be recommended to maintain proper proportions and coverage.",
