        "text": "In the Denver metro area, seasonal shifts between dry winter heating and summer humidity cause normal home framing to expand and contract, producing recurring hairline cracks along drywall seams. Furthermore, localized expansive soils can cause minor foundation settling that puts stress on door frames and ceiling corners.
