        "text": "What type of drywall is best for a kitchen remodel?\nMost kitchen installations use moisture-resistant drywall, commonly known as green board or purple board, especially near sinks, dishwashers, and food prep areas. Standard drywall works fine for dry pantry walls, but areas exposed to steam or accidental plumbing leaks benefit from moisture- and mold-resistant cores. Behind heavy-use cooktops or ranges, local building codes may also require type X fire-rated drywall to improve fire resistance. Balancing these options means identifying which wall sections face humidity and heat versus standard dining or storage zones before hanging begins.",
