How can I make this hardwood quarter-round look better? (see picture)?

Posted on February 19, 2010 by admin

As you can see in the picture below

The quarter round transition pieces on my hardwood floor don’t line up properly. What’s the best way to fix this?
The transition is actually at the first step of a stairway. The first step is indented behind the wall a bit, so the two pieces of quarter rounds don’t line up. How can I transition b/w them nicely? Neither answer so far provides a solution!

You actually need a 3 rd pc. and redo the "outside" pc ..The 1 in further needs to be mitered as an inside corner and the further 1 needs a new pc and mitered as an outside corner w/ a small double cut pc to fit in between. GL

    Pull the quarter round out of the doorway – purchase (prefinished from the store you got the wood from and/or stain) a new threshold. The threshold is used for doorways. Check out lumberliquidaters online for more info…
