        "text": "The cost of original trim restoration can be comparable to, or sometimes even exceed, the cost of installing new trim, especially if the original trim requires extensive repairs or intricate hand-finishing. However, restoration preserves unique architectural details and avoids the cost of sourcing rare or custom-milled replacements. A practical tradeoff is that while replacement might seem cheaper initially, it often leads to additional costs like disposal of old materials and potential for mismatched styles or materials that devalue a historic home.",
