        "text": "While basic drywall patching seems straightforward, storm damage often hides moisture inside wall cavities, warped studs, and ruined vapor barriers. Doing it yourself can leave wet insulation sealed behind new sheetrock, which triggers structural decay and mold problems later. Professional contractors use calibrated moisture meters to verify framing dryness before closing walls. They also handle complex finish matching, ensuring new drywall textures, crown molding, and baseboard profiles blend seamlessly with your home's original craftsmanship.",
