        "text": "Homes across Denver, Aurora, and nearby foothill communities experience significant seasonal humidity fluctuations between dry winters and summer storms. This dry climate causes interior wood framing to shrink, which can push drywall out of square with door jambs or open up tight miter joints over time. When installing casing in the Denver metro area, carpenters often acclimate trim materials to indoor humidity levels prior to installation, use glue on miter joints, and fasten into underlying wall studs rather than just the drywall to prevent gaps from opening during winter dry spells.",
