        "text": "Basements along the Colorado Front Range, including Denver, Aurora, and Centennial, are frequently built with floating interior framing to accommodate shifting bentonite clay soils. Baseboards installed on floating walls must be fastened strictly to the wall framing above the base plate gap, avoiding attachment directly to concrete slabs. This allows the foundation slab to move without buckling your trim or pulling drywall apart. HH Remodeling applies local construction knowledge across Denver and surrounding suburbs to ensure finished trim accommodates natural slab movement.",
