Price for Baseboard
I’m looking to have about 300 linear foot of baseboard / casing installed in my brownstone as part of a larger job. What is a fair price for removal of old base, supply and install of MDF 2-3/4″ colonial base and finishing with caulk and paint? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Good Stair Guys?
I just had my floors sanded and refinished, and I’m now looking for a stair company. I’m just looking for a basic oak staircase with oak spindles, but definately want someone who is attentive to detail and will give me a staircase I can be proud to have in my home. Any suggestions?

Verrazano Flooring NOT WORTH IT
Just wanted to share my experience. I called three companies for competitive bids on my flooring job. The three quotes varied with Verrazano Flooring being the highest and some Brazilian company being the lowest. I went with Verrazano because I see their vans all over and I was willing to pay for a better job. Turns out, the same Brazilians who quoted me at LESS THAN HALF of Verrazano’s price came and did my floors for Verrazano. I guess they have a subcontractor agreement. The floors came out OK, but it seems like robbery that I had to pay double just so Verrazano Flooring could make some money as a middle man. I guess it’s true that larger companies just don’t do the work themselves anymore. I am really VERY upset about this. I wouldn’t have paid in full except that it doesn’t seem they did anything wrong – we as consumers just need to be more educated in the process and ask if it will be actual employees or subs doing the work. I’ve learned my lesson. An OK job at double the price gets 1 star as far as I’m concerned.
