        "text": "The cost to tape and finish drywall depends primarily on total square footage, ceiling heights, the number of corners, and whether it is new drywall or repair work. Patching damaged drywall around plumbing alterations or storm-damage restoration usually carries higher labor rates per square foot than continuous runs of new board because of blending requirements. High ceilings, intricate soffits, and requests for smooth Level 5 finishes also increase labor hours. Having framing and boards hung plumb and tight lowers finishing costs.",
