        "text": "Repairing an existing frame preserves original architectural casings and custom cabinetry profiles, saves on material waste, and costs less upfront. However, repairs only work if the underlying rough framing remains solid. Installing a new pre-hung frame requires tearing out existing casing and repainting surrounding drywall, but it guarantees completely plumb lines, modern weatherstripping, and factory-fresh structural integrity. If your kitchen door frame has suffered repeated water leaks or extensive shifting, a new unit prevents recurring alignment trouble.",
