        "text": "While some basic weatherstripping types are relatively easy for a homeowner to replace, hiring a professional is often recommended for optimal results, especially for more complex installations or if you're unsure about the right material. Professionals have the experience to select the most effective weatherstripping for each specific door and window, ensure a proper, long-lasting seal, and identify any underlying issues. Incorrect installation can lead to continued drafts or even damage.",
