I love this video because:
1) there's no intro clip
2) there's no music
3) you get started right away
4) you know what you're doing
Thanks for the great tutorial, man! I subscribed 👍

I actually really like how you show no one is perfect and everyday problems happen to you as well. You got a subscriber for actually breaking that piece of trim!

[WanJae]

Great video! Another tip: If you break a piece, don't throw it away. Keep it to make it easier to measure the replacement you'll have to cut later.

you are the best contractor trainer. I am a home inspector. I have watched your videos on window, vinyl siding and many other installations. all your procedures are based on the most textbook guidelines without any short-cut . 💯👍
I know there are many contractor youtubers with more than a million subscribers but after watching some of their videos, i noticed that they make short-cuts in different installations that can raise any home inspector red flag.
I hope to see more videos from you.

Be sure to watch to 10:08 for the best new tip I saw when reviewing baseboard videos. Overall, great video, but once he gets through with the main gist you are tempted to cut out before the end. The tip about using the big bar underneath was worth watching to the end. [Except for YT's 3rd ad near the end, but hopefully they give this guy something for it.]

Followed your video and no breakage. Removed the baseboards and left the drywall intact. Thanks so much!!! I had to go out and buy that scraper / pull bar. Very helpful tool.

I'm just a homeowner trying to get a paint match for baseboards. Excellent video!!! Very worth my time to watch. Earned you a like and subscription in under 12 minutes, that's got to be a record. Excellent clear, efficient teaching. Sending blessings! 😇

[symbasmith]

Thank you for this video. I really like how thoroughly, yet simply, you explained how to remove baseboards. And thanks for not having some kind of annoying music playing over your voice. Really appreciate the simple, yet effective production!

Nice tip with using a small scrap of wood to protect the wall. Last weekend I removed the baseboards in my foyer and kitchen in preparation to install vinyl floors. I used a tool called the Zenith trim puller that I found extremely useful. Unfortunately for me, the prior homeowners used the wrong nail type when they installed the trim so I had to be extra careful so as not the break the baseboards in half. Somehow only one small corner piece broke in half.

Hello, Shannon. You are so helpful, knowledgeable, and likeable. I always tell my women friends who are trying to do a repair to go on YouTube and find home improvement videos by men who are Canadian, not U.S. men, because I have found you all are so community minded, kind, and generous. I found your channel today, and you have proven and reinforced that observation.

[bernardmesa]

Thank you! I approached my baseboards with crowbar in hand, stopped, thought, "I should watch a YouTube video, first."

You saved not only our wall, but I was able to save my baseboard for future use!

Thank you!

Good video! Thanks much. I also suggest using a 6” putty knife to use in place of the wood to protect the wall. Bill

Very useful video. I thought I knew what I was doing, but realized SOMEONE can probably show me how to do it faster, more cleanly, and in most concise way. Thanks!

[CantankerousDave]

Thanks for demonstrating on the fiddly bits at the *end* of the wall and not just the long stretches.

[bakerisballin]

Thanks for the tips! My new dog chewed up the baseboards in my brand new house and I’ve got some repairs to do so this is really helpful.

[angelascarber]

I successfully took off my trim thanks to your video. i appreciate you.

[Whitakerguy]

Great video. Thanks for giving the courage to tackle a home improvement project myself (without making a mess of the drywall).

[suehaun]

What a great video. The explanations about what to do and not to do are really helpful. As someone who didn't know how to remove a baseboard without damaging the walls, I feel more able to do it because of this video. Thank you.

Going to watch this a few more times over as I mentally prepare to do this to the base boards in my bathroom! Going to be doing a little renovation in there and I feel 10x more prepared now that I watched this video 🙌🏼
