How do I fill the gap between the baseboard and tile, when several tiles are lower than the others. Most of the gap is 1/8 inch, which can be caulked, but how do I fill bigger 1/4" gaps?

You could consider adding quarter-round to the bottom edge of the baseboard trim.

Thank you very much for the video

The issue I have is that my wall is a concrete (double brick).

How do I fix it to the wall, I can't use nails only can I??

Thank you

I would consider using an adhesive or a flexible vinyle baseboard trim with an adhesive, simliar to what you might see in a commercial application.

Great job on the video. Do you prefer pine baseboard or mdf?

I prefer Pine baseboard

@vgrandja You can buy a mitre box and saw for about $20-25.

Nice job on the instructional video. But in this case I would go for a repair rather than replacement since it is painted. Just clean out the damage, fill in with a bit of bondo, sand after it dries, and paint. Replace the door stop and move it outside the damaged area. Much less work and the results are the same or better.

It looks easy to do for a novice. I don't have an electric saw, though. Maybe if I had the correct measurements, Home Depot can cut the baseboards for me.

Using caulk to cover the nails,..thanks for this tidbit.
