Want the real quote, done for you?
This is a rough number. Vorkeon builds the full trim and baseboard quote from one sentence:
- Materials with waste, and crew time from your own pace
- Current prices from building-supply stores near the job
- A clean PDF with your logo that the customer signs on their phone
- Then the invoice, reminders and your crew's hours, in one app
What drives the price of a trim and baseboard job
- Profile and material. MDF is cheaper than wood; tall or detailed profiles cost more.
- Number of corners. Each inside cope and outside miter takes time.
- Wall condition. Wavy walls and floors need scribing and caulk.
- Finish. Pre-primed, painted on site, or stained wood.
- Removal. Taking off old trim without damaging the drywall.
- Door and window casing. Usually counted per opening.
A worked example
Example only, with made-up numbers, not a price guide. 400 linear ft of baseboard at 2.00 material and 3.00 labor per foot: 400 × 5.00 = 2,000. Add casing for 10 doors at 80 each (800), for 2,800. With 25% markup the quote is 3,500 before sales tax. Your trim prices and pace will be different.

Trim and baseboard quoting questions
How much extra trim should I buy?
Many carpenters add about 10 to 15% for cuts and mistakes. Rooms with many short walls and corners need more, because you lose a piece at each joint.
Is painting included in a trim quote?
It depends. Some carpenters fill, caulk and paint; others leave it for the painter. Write it down so the customer knows if the trim will be finished.
How do I price a trim and baseboard job?
Multiply the trim length by your material and labor cost per linear foot, then add your markup to cover overhead and profit. Add tax on top when you send the quote.
What markup should I use?
Use the markup that covers your overhead (vehicle, insurance, tools, office) and leaves the profit you want. Many contractors land between 15% and 35%, but your own costs decide it.
