Baseboard trim recommendations ?

[epg0]

I finished my floor with a gray polyurea last fall.

I plan to paint this spring.

I am now looking to add a baseboard trim to fill the gap between the concrete trim and the drywall.

Any recommendations on a good garage paint color/product and baseboard product?

1. fur it out level and do a rubber base molding.
2. 1x4 -1x6 prepainted (primed and two coats of exterior paint). Qtr round or other molding on top

We just used inexpensive rubber cove base on the roll from Lowes

Hi,
We normally would recommend stiff pieces of commercial cove base, available at any flooring distributor. Johnsonite is a well known manufacturer.

The reason we like the pieces vs the rolls is that on irregular surfaces like yours they hold on better and you don't see 'waves'. The rolls are great for wallboard and very flat surfaces and such, but not as good, and harder to apply on irregular surfaces.

It looks a bit uneven. Ceramic tile would be easy to install to even it up. It would be strong and waterproof. Then use a bead of polyurethane caulk to seal the bottom edge so it has a little "give".

Here is the link to the Johnsonite our Fire House Install Division uses a lot due to uneven walls. Its available online from many dealers.

I've always thought Trex or similar composite wood product would work well for this.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've been browsing their products.

Yea - it's definitely uneven. Some drywall prices hang over the concrete trim and others are recessed.

Not 100% sure how to address that.

I got the same issue. Depends on what wall I'm looking at. Every one is a little different. You certainly want to maximize space and durability. Pic above could be wrapped in ceramic tile pretty easy. Hopefully your uneveness is consistent along each wall.

I agree, PVC or Azek would also be a great option.

Look at the trim for cement fiber siding. They look like painted boards, won't rot and have a great fire rating.

Another vote for PVC. Easy to cut, install with a finish nailer, white caulk nail holes and running joint with wall, clear silicone caulk running joint with concrete and you are done. I plan on doing the same in my upper garage, which looks similar to yours. I also have some drywall over-hang areas like yours, so I'm interested to see what others have to say.

Make it very easy. Get the black cove base that comes on a roll. It should be plenty high to cover the cement and extend up the drywal an inch or two. Over time once it relaxes and it will hide the unevenness. When it's new it will be a little stiff and not hang as freely.

Drywall should have been pushed out a little, but can't do that now. Another option would be to box out the based board and make a small step/seat/shelf. Second option requires a little elbow grease. I typically do the box method when hiding baseboard pipes after remodels when the registers get moved.

Trying to put flat wood/trim board over uneven stuff and caulking the **** out of it keeps me employed.

I didn't see if you had posted how much space (height) you are dealing with, but I recommend cove base in a roll...For the money, the cove base its where its at IMO

That being said...your situation might make that challenging because of the uneven surface.
Here are my thoughts, it wont be the cheapest option but it will look good. Depending on how far your drywall is recessed from the concrete you can add a small piece of trim (maybe 1-1.5 x .25 thick) with a qtr round edge and then base board. The small trim should shim it our far enough off the concrete and follow your wall smoothly.

Yeah use a PVC or Azak Trim thats waterproof won't rot and the Azak product isn't very expensive.
