How this visit was performed
Gavin Mccandlish described the completed work in the job record as follows. Customer address, phone, and job price are omitted from this public page.
Install matching quarter-round around the perimeter of the new Office Room 2 laminate flooring, assumed to be approximately 40 linear feet. Make standard corner and doorway cuts and fasten the molding to the baseboard rather than through the floating floor. Unusual profiles or additional perimeter footage would be a revision
