        "text": "Original trim restoration involves repairing, refinishing, and preserving existing trim elements to their original appearance and condition. This differs from replacement, which involves removing old trim and installing new materials. Restoration is often chosen for historical accuracy, to maintain the character of an older property, or when original materials are unique and difficult to replicate.
