        "text": "Yes, you can replace factory batten strips and vinyl trims with standard residential wood or MDF molding, provided the framing supports it. Batten strips cover the seams between factory wall panels. Upgrading to traditional baseboards, crown molding, or door casing gives the home a custom, site-built appearance. However, you must choose profiles that work with your wall thickness and ceiling height. A finish carpenter often adds light drywall patching or seam mudding where strips are removed so the wall surface looks smooth once the new trim is installed.",
