        "text": "We recommend inspecting your exterior trim annually, ideally in the spring or fall, to catch any issues early. Look for signs of peeling paint, cracks, soft spots, or evidence of pests. Early detection of problems like water intrusion or wood rot can prevent more extensive and costly damage down the line. Regular inspections are particularly important for homes with wood trim in moisture-prone areas like Union City or Newark to extend its lifespan and maintain curb appeal.",
