14.  You can ask your contractor prior to starting your floor what they will charge you to re-install your old/new base boards.  My crew cut and re installed ALL new base boards once again to my own satisfaction!

I elected to buy my own.  Thicker molding stands a better chance of survival once removed and then re-installed!

15.  I had to hire an outside contractor to re-paint and then caulk the base boards.  That cost me under $200 which was nothing based on the work they did.
