        "text": "Doing it yourself can save on upfront labor costs for very small, non-structural holes behind an appliance where finish aesthetics do not matter. However, kitchen walls demand high visual quality due to direct natural light, under-cabinet lighting, and constant use. Achieving a flat, seamless finish without sanding grooves, flashing seams, or mismatched textures requires specialized taping tools and experienced hand control. Furthermore, if the drywall damage connects to active plumbing, under-cabinet wiring, or heavy wall-mounted cabinetry, hiring an experienced professional prevents water leaks, electrical hazards, and structural cabinet failures down the road.",
