Baseboard installation labour in Ontario starts from $3 per linear foot for standard conditions. This guide explains Wood Job’s 2026 starting prices for installation, removal, taller profiles, shoe moulding, paint-ready finishing and small baseboard projects.
Simon contacted Wood Job about two unfinished basement openings in his Burlington home: one for a washroom and another for a laundry and utility room. The openings were short, the framing was uneven, and the flooring transition also needed attention. Here is how the two doors were planned and installed.
Basement doors often need to be cut shorter than standard interior doors. That can create a problem homeowners rarely think about before ordering: the door handle may no longer line up nicely with the lock rail or panel design. Door style matters before the slab is cut.
Basements often have small under-stair spaces, low openings, and awkward storage areas that standard doors do not fit well. These details need more than a quick door swap. Sometimes a plain slab door can be resized. Sometimes a simple MDF door has to be built. Sometimes custom trim is needed so the opening looks intentional instead of forgotten.
Discover why standard pre-hung door packages fail in tight basement openings under 80″ and how I use raw slab doors and custom MDF panels to preserve flawless proportions.
