        "text": "We assess the millwork's condition by examining the extent of rot, insect damage, structural integrity, and the original material's stability. Often, even severely damaged pieces can be restored by carefully removing deteriorated sections and splicing in new, matching wood. A key decision factor is the percentage of original material that can be saved versus the cost and complexity of recreating a precise replica. We prioritize restoration whenever feasible to maintain historical authenticity.",
