        "text": "Thorough preparation is crucial for a lasting finish. This includes ensuring all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust and debris from construction. Any new drywall will need proper priming. Existing surfaces might require patching small imperfections, sanding, and cleaning. We protect all adjacent surfaces, flooring, and fixtures with drop cloths and masking tape. Proper preparation ensures optimal adhesion and a smooth, even paint finish.",
