        "text": "Drywall finishes range from basic utility taping to glass-smooth surfaces. Level 1 and Level 2 are typical for hidden utility spaces or under tile substrates where aesthetics do not matter. Level 3 and Level 4 represent common residential standards, suitable for heavy wallcoverings or standard orange peel and knockdown textures. A Level 5 finish involves a full skim coat across the entire wall surface, creating an ultra-flat plane necessary for areas with harsh, direct lighting or high-gloss paint that would otherwise highlight tape seams.",
