        "text": "If your doors are structurally sound and fit their frames well, repainting is the most cost-effective way to update your home's interior. However, replacement is the better choice if doors are warped, hollow cores are punctured, or you want to upgrade lightweight doors to solid-core for sound dampening. If you plan to change existing trim profiles or reframe openings during a larger remodel, installing pre-hung door packages often makes more sense than prepping damaged, outdated slabs.",
