        "text": "A Level 4 drywall finish typically involves taping joints and corners, followed by three coats of joint compound, leaving a smooth surface suitable for most flat paints or light textures. Imperfections might be visible under critical lighting. A Level 5 finish, considered the highest standard, includes all steps of Level 4 plus a thin skim coat of joint compound applied over the entire surface. This creates an exceptionally smooth, uniform surface, ideal for high-gloss paints, dark colors, or areas with critical lighting, minimizing any visible imperfections.",
