        "text": "Level 2 finishing is often used in basic utilitarian garages, while Level 4 is recommended for workshops, painted gyms, or finished spaces. In a Level 2 finish, joint compound is embedded over tape, excess compound is wiped off, and screw heads receive one coat. Tool marks and ridges are normal, making it functional for fire barriers or utility storage without extra sanding labor. A Level 4 finish includes multiple compound coats sanded smooth, creating an even, uniform surface ready for primer, color paint, and finish trim.",
