        "text": "Finish carpentry begins immediately after drywall taping, mudding, and sanding are completed, and ideally after initial prime painting. Starting too early exposes fine woodwork to excess moisture from wet drywall compound and dust. The exact order between trim and finished flooring depends on your material choice. For instance, hard surfaces like tile or vinyl plank typically go down before baseboards so the trim neatly conceals expansion gaps. If carpet is planned, baseboards are hung slightly raised off the subfloor beforehand. Coordinating these steps properly prevents scuffed trim and costly rework during a basement remodel.",
