        "text": "A Level 4 finish is standard for most kitchen areas, especially walls covered by cabinets, tile backsplashes, or matte paint. It includes taped joints, three coats of compound, and sanding to leave a flat surface. A Level 5 finish adds a thin skim coat of joint compound over the entire board surface to completely equalize texture. Opt for Level 5 if your kitchen features large open wall areas, critical natural lighting from big windows, or if you plan to use semi-gloss or gloss paint that highlights subtle joint imperfections.",
