        "text": "Water-damaged door frames should be addressed as soon as you detect softness, peeling paint, or mold. Delaying the repair allows water to wick into wall insulation, subflooring, and the structural jack studs holding up the header. Catching water intrusion early usually means a contractor only needs to replace the exterior brickmold and lower jamb legs. Waiting too long often turns a simple finish carpentry repair into a major structural framing and subfloor rebuild.",
