        "text": "Patching damaged trim is faster and preserves continuous runs of rare or older molding, whereas full replacement provides clean, uniform lines across an entire room. The tradeoff with patching is that heavy gouges or swollen composite boards may leave faint surface irregularities even after sanding and painting. Replacement guarantees straight, factory-fresh edges, but it can be harder to color-match aged trim paint without painting all connected casings. If your home has discontinued millwork, carefully filling and profiling the existing wood is often better than trying to source an exact match.",
