There are several different ways to do your edges. The thickness of the laminate will be deducted from the overall reveal your baseboard will have once done. My original baseboard was very narrow(older home). With only 3" of baseboard I dint want to deduct 1/2" from that so I removed mine and raised them up so the floor was under them. You can also get away with removing just the 1/4 round stock and replacing after the floor is down. Most 1/4 rounds will cover the gap the floors manufacturer suggests you leave for climate change the floor will endure. I literally do 90% of the floors I install with just a battery powered dewalt circular saw. Its lightweight and I can just cut the pieces right where I am at without having to go out to a seperately setup miter saw. Although I always have to go out to the miter saw for very precise cuts around weird angles. You would also need a $5 flush undercut saw to saw under your door frames so the floor is hidden beneath them as well. This is simple, take a scrap piece of floor with no padunder it, lay it down next to the frame and lay the flat handheld saw on the scrap piece and saw away until the small piece of frame is gone. I personally suggest using a transition piece that matches when going in between rooms, especially a bathroom. Theres nothing worse that to have to remove an entire room of flooring because your toilet had a leak. You could cut along the seams of pieces if you need to make a repair and pop out just the bad stuff, but then you would have to try to glue in a piece without either a tongue or groove and its hard to make it look right again. After 5mins of doing either laminate or wood yourself, you will tell yourself, you couldnt believe you were actually going to pay someone for this. Solid wood is a little trickier due to cost and layout. Without the proper planning on a solid floor you can easily add alot of cost when you realize you screwed up using some boards here when they would have been better used over there. While this is also true with laminate, the material is alot cheaper and you can run to the store to pickup an extra box. Alos think ahead and consider buying an extra box or 2. It sucks to scrap an entire floor because a few pieces were ruined a year after install and the laminate or wood you have is no longer available. If you need help with either one, let me know and as long as my foot is good I will come help/lend support.
