        "text": "Before hiring a contractor, take clear photographs and video of all damaged drywall, ceilings, and baseboards before any demolition begins. Keep any receipts for immediate emergency measures, like tarps or water extraction. When speaking with your insurance adjuster, provide detailed notes showing where water penetrated. Having a general contractor who handles structural framing, drywall, and finish carpentry assess the area helps ensure the repair estimate includes behind-the-wall needs like framing dry-out, insulation, and matching trim, rather than just surface sheetrock.",
