- If the nails are embedded in the wood, use a pneumatic nail puller to remove them.
2. If the nails are not embedded in the wood, use a hammer and a pry bar to remove them.
3. Be sure to use gloves to protect your hands.
Step Three
After the screws have been removed, it is time to remove the nails. The nails will be sticking out of both sides of the baseboard, so it is important to use caution when removing them.
To remove the nails, it is best to use a pry bar. Start by positioning the pry bar at the top of the nail and use a gentle, circular motion to pull the nail out. Once the nail has been removed, use the pry bar to remove the remaining nails from the baseboard.
Additional Tips
If you are having trouble removing nails from baseboards, try using a pneumatic nail gun. The recoil from the gun will cause the nail to become loose and you can then easily remove it.
