        "text": "Drywall should always be hung, taped, mudded, and primed before installing kitchen cabinets. Finishing the drywall first creates a smooth, plumb, and level surface essential for hanging upper and base cabinets securely without gaps. Additionally, hanging drywall beforehand seals wall cavities, preserving fire resistance and thermal insulation. Once drywall is complete, custom framing or solid wood blocking placed inside the studs during rough-in ensures cabinet mounting screws bite into solid wood rather than hollow sheetrock. Installing cabinets before finishing drywall leads to awkward seams and uneven lines.",
