Hello everyone. I was in my garage today of my new house and I realized that the baseboards on 2/3 of the non-door sides of the garage have baseboards that are raised like an inch off the floor.

1. Is this a problem?
2. what could have caused this?
3. how do I fix this? Do I need to tear the baseboards off the wall to lower them an inch?

I am looking for advise on what should be done with the stucco for my home. I’ve had a half dozen different stucco repair contractors out to my house. Half of them have said that the metal plate (the house was built in 1997) in the outside band where the red is needs to be completely removed and replaced, and half of them have said that you just need to chip away at the parts that are rusted and then paint over them with a rust sealing paint so that the rust doesn’t spread further.

Does anyone here have recommendations on which it looks like needs to be done from the photos?
