        "text": "A utility-grade finish (Level 2 or 3) leaves taped joints and compound smoothed over seams and fasteners, which is practical for standard workshops and basic car storage where cosmetics are secondary. A finished wall (Level 4 or 5) includes complete sanding, priming, uniform texture, and durable paint. Opting for a finished wall seals the gypsum against humidity, resists dust accumulation, and creates a clean appearance suitable for finished garage conversions. The tradeoff is that fully painted and textured walls require additional drying time and labor compared to basic fire-taped utility walls.",
