        "text": "You should replace your door casing if the existing wood has suffered water damage, pet chewing, severe rot, or structural cracking that cannot be hidden with caulk or wood filler. Casing replacement is also essential when installing new pre-hung doors or after completing drywall repairs where older trim no longer sits flush. If your trim is simply scuffed, has peeling paint, or exhibits small seasonal caulk cracks along the drywall seam, a thorough prep, recaulking, and fresh coat of interior paint is usually sufficient.",

        "description": "Replace casing if the wood is warped, rotted, split, or damaged beyond smooth filling. Minor cosmetic scuffs, chipped paint, or small caulk cracks can usually be repaired and repainted."
