  "articleBody": "Finding gaps in your trim and molding can be really frustrating, taking away from the clean, finished look you want. Often, these gaps come from a few common mistakes during installation. One big culprit is mitering inside corners that should really be coped. Mitered joints are great for outside corners, but for inside corners, coping creates a much tighter, more stable joint that can better handle the natural expansion and contraction of wood. If the installer just mitered inside corners, those small gaps might be visible now. Another reason for gaps can be starting the installation before nearby trades are completely finished or before the walls and surfaces are truly ready. This can lead to adjustments and compromises that result in imperfect fits. And of course, a lack of thorough inspection at the end can mean small imperfections, like visible gaps, aren't caught and addressed. When installing trim, it's really about precision and attention to detail at every step, from careful measuring to consistent lines and clean caulk work. We focus on meticulous installation in areas like Berkeley and throughout the East Bay, ensuring a high-quality finish every time. If you're seeing gaps, it might be time to bring in a pro to assess and fix the issue.",
