        "text": "In Front Range areas like Denver, Centennial, and Parker, expansive soils can cause foundation movement. Local codes often require floating walls—framing that leaves a specific gap at the bottom or top of the studs with special hardware—to prevent soil movement from pushing upward into upper-level floors. HH Remodeling builds interior partitions to local standards, ensuring proper floating wall framing and compliant insulation before drywall, trim, and painting are installed.",
