        "text": "In Denver and surrounding Front Range communities, dry winters and shifting indoor humidity require careful lumber acclimation before installation. Wood trim stored in unheated garages or brought straight from a lumberyard will shrink as it dries inside a heated home, leading to separated miter joints, cracked caulk lines, and loose fasteners. Professional installers store wood moldings inside the home’s conditioned living space for several days prior to cutting and mounting, ensuring stable dimensions and lasting joint integrity.",
