I live in an elderly brownstone with original trim on all the doorways. However, the space never had proper flooring put down. Instead of having underlayment and finished flooring on the subfloor, there’s just the subfloor. There never was more either — all of the doorway trim comes right down to the subfloor. I’m going to have someone come in and put down flooring. What’s the standard practice in this situation? Have them cut off the trim high enough to run above the flooring? Have them cut the flooring to fit the trim? Anyone else been in this situation before?
