        "text": "Homes across Denver, Parker, Centennial, and Greenwood Village often feature older drywall or settled framing where walls are slightly bowed or out of plumb. Before setting tile, contractors must evaluate wall flatness and shim or patch low spots. If the drywall paper is torn from removing an old backsplash, damaged sections may need replacing with cement backer board. Ensuring a flat substrate prevents uneven tile edges, known as lippage, especially when using modern large-format tiles.",
