My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What is the strongest material that can be used for baseboards?

4 years ago

I have baseboards at the bottom of our stairs that our dogs hit with their claws as they try to race each other to get to the stairs first. We will soon be replacing our baseboards. This is the only place that gets chipped. I was considering using a stronger material for just this section.

What material would you recommend?
