        "text": "You can install door casing yourself if you own a miter saw, finish nailer, level, and have experience cutting compound angles on uneven surfaces. However, residential door openings are rarely perfectly square, especially in older homes, basements, or remodeled spaces where drywall depth varies. A professional finish contractor handles jamb discrepancies, cuts tight-fitting miters, secures fasteners into structural studs, and integrates the casing seamlessly with your existing baseboards, saving significant time and material waste.",
