        "text": "Drywall finish levels range from Level 0 to Level 5, defined by the Gypsum Association based on visibility and final wall coverings. Level 1 involves basic taping in non-public areas like attics. Level 2 includes a thin coat of joint compound over tape and fasteners, typical in garages or behind tile. Level 3 adds an additional compound coat for medium-to-heavy wall textures. Level 4 is the standard finish for residential spaces receiving flat or low-sheen paint, featuring two coats over fasteners and joints. Level 5 adds a skim coat across the entire board surface for high-gloss paints or critical, raking lighting.",
