        "text": "Small cosmetic nail holes can usually be filled and painted by a homeowner with basic spackle. Professional repair is recommended for large holes, stress cracks along framing seams, ceiling damage, or water-damaged drywall. Improper repairs often leave noticeable bulges, visible seams, or uneven textures. A professional matches wall textures, re-secures loose framing or backing boards, and blends primer and paint so the patch integrates seamlessly with the surrounding wall.",
