        "text": "Tying new addition drywall into an existing home requires leveling out framing differences and feathering joint compound across the transition seam. Existing home frames settle, shift, and often use slightly different wallboard thicknesses than modern construction. When blending the old wall with the new extension, we sister studs or shim framing to align both surfaces evenly. Joint compound is then feathered out widely—often 12 to 18 inches across the seam—and textured to match the surrounding wall profile so the joint remains invisible after painting.",
