        "text": "Standard interior baseboard like unfinished MDF can absorb moisture from wet tires, snowmelt, and wet concrete floors, causing it to swell and deteriorate. When finishing a garage, contractors evaluate whether to install water-resistant PVC baseboards, treated wood trim, or standard wood raised slightly off the concrete slab with a sealed expansion gap. The right option depends on how you use the space; garages used for wet vehicle parking require resilient base trim, while heated workshop areas can handle traditional primed wood with proper sealants.",

        "description": "Yes, garages require moisture-resistant materials like PVC, composite, or elevated sealed lumber because concrete floors expose standard interior trim to moisture."
