        "text": "The cost of finish carpentry depends on linear footage, the profile complexity of the molding, material choice, and wall conditions. Standard MDF (medium-density fiberboard) baseboards are generally more economical for painted finishes, whereas solid hardwoods like oak or maple cost significantly more due to raw material and staining labor. High ceilings, uneven drywall surfaces, and intricate multi-piece crown moldings require scribing and complex miter cuts, which increases labor time. Scoping your project clearly—such as specifying whether trim needs to be pre-primed, caulked, and painted—helps establish an accurate upfront estimate.",
