        "text": "While homeowners can hang a few patch panels themselves, hiring a professional contractor is recommended for full rooms, additions, and basements. Drywall sheets are heavy and unwieldy, often weighing between fifty and seventy pounds each, making ceiling work physically demanding and hazardous without commercial panel lifts. Improperly fastened boards can result in popped screws, sagging ceilings, visible seams, and wavy walls that no amount of joint compound can hide. A professional ensures tight butt joints, proper fastener depth, and clean cutouts around electrical boxes and mechanical runs.",
