        "text": "You should replace interior trim if it shows signs of rot, water damage, severe splintering, or if you are upgrading from outdated, narrow contractor-grade profiles. Trim can often be repaired with wood filler, sanding, and fresh paint if issues are limited to small scratches, open miter joints, or minor pet chew marks. However, if your home has sustained plumbing leaks or storm moisture, baseboards often trap trapped water behind walls and should be pulled. HH Remodeling LLC evaluates existing woodwork during remodeling consultations to help you decide whether repair or replacement provides better value.",
