I have had several companies over to estimate installation of a hardwood floor. One guy says he uses 3/4 quarter round. Another uses half inch quarter round and another uses shoe molding. I think one reason the first one uses 3/4 is that they don't have to be as precise with the cuts near the wall. However, I have read that you need to leave a half inch space where the wood adjoins the walls. So if someone uses shoe molding or 1/2 inch quarter round, couldn't the floor slip out from under the molding? The smaller molding looks much better, but I don't want problems later. Any thoughts? Thanks in Advance JD
