        "text": "Kitchen trim should generally be installed after flooring, cabinets, and drywall are completely in place, but before final wall painting. Installing trim after base cabinets ensures that crown molding and light rails align precisely with the cabinetry faces. Floor transitions also require baseboards and shoe moldings to sit tightly on top of finished tile or hardwood to cover necessary expansion gaps. While pre-primed wood or MDF moldings can be pre-painted before cutting, our crew typically performs final touch-ups, caulk lines, and nail-hole filling alongside interior paint work to deliver an unblemished, cohesive appearance.",
