        "text": "Baseboards should be replaced if they show water damage, cracking, rot, severe pet chewing, or repeated coats of chipped paint. Homeowners also replace them during full flooring replacements, basement finishes, or wall reconfigurations, since older trim rarely matches new floor heights or modern aesthetic lines. If baseboards are simply scuffed or have minor gouges, they can often be patched, caulked, and repainted during routine interior painting rather than torn out entirely.",
