        "text": "In older homes throughout Denver, Centennial, and Parker, foundation settling often pulls door openings out of square, causing doors to bind at the top corner or fail to latch. Fixing this involves removing the interior casing trim to expose the shims and rough framing. A carpenter cuts the fasteners securing the jamb, relevels and replumbs the frame using new cedar shims, refastens the frame to the rough opening studs, and trims the door slab if the settled opening allows limited clearance.",

        "description": "Yes. Contractors remove the casing, cut existing jamb fasteners, reset the frame plumb using new shims, and secure it back to the rough framing to restore proper swing."
