        "text": "Basement trim usually goes in after the flooring and finished drywall are completely installed, but before the final paint touch-ups. Installing the baseboards over the finished flooring allows carpenters to hide uneven expansion gaps around vinyl plank, tile, or carpet edges. Door casings and window wraps can be set right after drywall and doors are hung. Pre-painting or priming the trim boards before fastening them to framing saves significant cleanup, requiring only nail hole patching, caulking, and a quick topcoat once installed.",
