The process of repairing baseboards typically begins with assessing the extent of damage. Damaged sections are carefully removed, and new material is cut to size. The new pieces are then attached securely using nails or adhesive, followed by filling gaps and smoothing surfaces. Finally, the repaired area is painted or stained to match existing moldings, resulting in a uniform appearance that blends seamlessly with the original decor.
