        "text": "Finish carpentry should happen after drywall taping, mudding, and sanding are fully complete, but typically before final wall paint and finished flooring installation. Installing trim against smooth, cured drywall ensures tight joints along baseboards and casing. For flooring, hanging door jambs first allows flooring to slip neatly underneath, while baseboards are installed right after flooring goes down to conceal expansion gaps. If painting is scheduled, contractors often spray trim off-site or prime it first, then complete final wall coats and touch-ups after carpentry is complete to prevent hammer dings and caulking smudges on freshly painted walls.",
