I'm curious. I've seen this done both ways, but when I built my first house, I put the baseboards and trim in first, and then the carpet installers came in afterwards. However, I've also seen it done where the carpet was put in first and then the baseboards and trim. Personally, I think it looks better with the baseboards and trim in first, especially upon the second time carpet is installed (because the installers don't pull the trim and get in close when they pull old carpet and put in new).
So I'm just wondering what the standard is? What the preferable way to do it is.
Do you put in carpet first or do you put in the trim and baseboards first?
PS. By Trim, I mean, the plinth.
