        "text": "For exterior garage doors, composite materials like cellular PVC are usually best because they resist moisture, rot, and pest damage without warping. Traditional solid wood, such as cedar or treated pine, offers a classic look and stains well, but it requires regular painting and maintenance to handle weather changes. PVC trim costs more upfront but eliminates ongoing decay issues. For interior garage baseboards, durable wood or PVC works well, though PVC offers superior protection against ground moisture, snowmelt dripping off vehicles, and floor washdowns. Choosing depends on your budget and preference for long-term maintenance versus upfront cost.",
