        "text": "For a typical single room or basement remodel, drywall installation and finishing generally takes 3 to 5 working days. Hanging the drywall boards is fast and often finished in a single day, but applying joint compound requires multiple steps. Each layer of mud—taping, bedding, and skim coats—needs sufficient drying time before sanding and applying the next coat. Humidity and seasonal room temperature can impact drying times. Once the final sanding is smooth, the walls are ready for primer, paint, and trim.",
