Royal Palm took off my baseboards, sanded and painted them, reinstalled, caulked and puttied them. In a few instances they re-cut them for a better fit.
Where the wood met carpet they turned one plank of wood 90 degrees to the rest making a 'return' level to the hardwood and fit the carpet to that.
Where the wood met the tile they actually had to re-cut the tile with a grinder to get a straight edge then put the same 'return' to that edge leaving a slight space that they caulked in matching the grout. The space was for potential expansion. Since our wood was thicker than the tile they ran the 'return' through a planer to bring it to the tile height.
All our transitions to other floors are PERFECTLY flush and level and professionally done. The two owners were on the job the entire time and did all of the detail work. They each have 30-40 years experience installing flooring. Also, when I asked about other stores they had absolutely nothing bad to say about any of them, just told us how they were different.
A clincher for me was that they did all of the work with no deposit and the job was 1200 square feet of premium flooring!
I'll post pics later!

Would LOVE to see pics! I often have a hard time visualizing what's being referred to!
