        "text": "Repair timelines generally range from a few days to over a week, depending on the severity of the damage. For a straightforward ceiling leak, removing damaged drywall, hanging replacement panels, applying three coats of joint compound, texturing, and painting takes approximately three to five days due to necessary mud and paint drying intervals. If the project also requires rebuilding subfloors, laying new bathroom tile, or custom finish trim, the timeline expands. Rushing drywall mud or paint before previous layers cure can cause cracking or peeling down the road.",
