Serious question, do you really need to pull baseboards for every stretch-in job?
I always popped baseboards on stretch-ins until a guy named Ray at the supply house in Fresno told me he only pulls them when the gap is under 3/8 inch, and he's been at it 22 years. Cut my last two bedroom jobs down by almost an hour each and the shoe molding covered everything clean. Curious how many of you actually check the gap first before grabbing the pry bar?
