        "text": "Yes, seasonal humidity changes can cause wood to expand and contract, making proper material acclimatization essential. Because natural wood and MDF react to indoor moisture shifts, installing trim straight off a truck without resting it can lead to pulled joints or buckled baseboards later. Allowing materials to sit inside your home for several days ensures trim reaches equilibrium with your living space. When installing custom framing or detailed moldings, our crew accounts for wood movement by using proper fastening patterns and flexible, paintable sealants along wall joints to keep seams looking tight over time.",
