        "text": "Professional installation begins with assessing the door jamb to make sure it sits flush with the adjacent drywall, shimming or planing if needed. The carpenter marks a consistent reveal—typically 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch—along the jamb edges to ensure uniform spacing. Side legs are cut and nailed into place, followed by the top header casing. Depending on the trim style, corners are either joined with 45-degree miter joints or fitted flush against decorative corner rosettes. Afterward, nail holes are filled, seams are caulked, and the trim is prepped for interior paint.",
