        "text": "Proper surface preparation makes the difference between a rough finish and a smooth, factory-grade appearance. The crew begins by vacuuming dust along floor edges, filling nail holes and dents with wood filler, and running paintable acrylic caulk along wall and floor joints to seal gaps. Next, surfaces are scuff-sanded to knock down old brush marks and create mechanical grip for fresh paint. Finally, drop cloths and low-tack tape protect adjoining flooring and wall surfaces before primer and finish coats are brushed, rolled, or sprayed.",
