        "text": "Finish carpentry should be completed after drywall, subflooring, rough plumbing, and electrical rough-ins are in place, but before final wall painting and backsplash tile installation. Installing trim and cabinets after drywall ensures that carpenters work against true, closed surfaces. Base cabinets and trim must sit level before countertop fabricators template stone surfaces or tile setters place backsplashes. Painting typically follows finish carpentry so that nail holes, miter joints, and caulk lines can be prepped, filled, and coated alongside surrounding walls. Scheduling finish trim too early exposes delicate wood to damage from heavy trades.",
