        "text": "Drywall hanging refers exclusively to measuring, cutting, positioning, and fastening drywall boards to wood or metal framing. Drywall finishing, also called taping and mudding, is the multi-step process that follows hanging. Finishing involves applying paper or fiberglass tape over joints, bedding fasteners with joint compound, applying several skim coats, and sanding surfaces smooth for paint. While hanging goes quickly, finishing requires extended drying periods between coats. Choosing a contractor that handles both framing, hanging, taping, and interior painting ensures the finished surface transitions smoothly across every stage.",
