        "text": "Window rough opening repair can range from non-structural to structural, depending on the extent of the damage. Replacing minor shims or small sections of sill plate is typically non-structural. However, if the header, king studs, or cripple studs (key load-bearing elements) are compromised and need replacement, it is considered a structural repair. These structural repairs require careful attention to maintain the integrity of your home's framework.",
