        "text": "Minor surface cleaning and small touch-ups on ground-level trim can be handled by handy homeowners, but full-scale maintenance is best left to experienced contractors. Refinishing requires specialized knowledge of wood movement, proper chemical or media preparation, and safety equipment for working at second-story heights on steep rooflines. Hiring an experienced general contractor also ensures that hidden issues, such as underlying water intrusion, failing structural framing, or roof-line trim rot, are properly diagnosed and repaired rather than simply covered with stain.",
