        "text": "The Denver area’s semi-arid climate creates extreme indoor humidity swings, shifting from dry winter heating to concentrated shower steam. Standard natural wood trim expands during humid summer months and shrinks during dry Colorado winters, which can crack caulk joints and open miter corners. In communities like Aurora, Centennial, and Greenwood Village, using pre-conditioned, well-primed materials or stable cellular PVC prevents seasonal joint separation. Additionally, finish carpenters must account for foundation movement common in regional expansive soils, which can pull wall corners out of square and require custom-scribed trim pieces.",
