        "text": "You can repair localized sections, but smooth skim-coating the entire room offers a cleaner, more modern aesthetic if your walls have heavy damage or multiple past patches. Knockdown texture hides minor wall framing imperfections, dries quickly, and costs less to patch locally. A smooth finish requires skimming the entire surface flat across multiple passes, which demands more labor and meticulous sanding. If you want a uniform, updated look throughout a remodeled kitchen or living space, full skimming may be worth the extra investment.",
