        "text": "Drywall finishing levels range from Level 0 to Level 5, designating the smoothness and readiness of the wall. Level 3 is typically applied under heavy textures. Level 4 includes taped joints, embedded fasteners, and two coats of joint compound, serving as the standard finish for flat paint, light textures, or basic wallcoverings. Level 5 adds a thin, continuous skim coat across the entire surface to eliminate subtle texture differences between the paper face and compound joints. Level 5 is recommended for surfaces receiving gloss paint, dark colors, or areas under strong critical lighting.",
