        "text": "DIY drywall kits work well for minor surface scuffs, nail holes, or small dents smaller than a baseball. However, hiring a professional contractor makes sense when dealing with holes larger than six inches, ceiling patches, plumbing cuts requiring framing support, or heavily textured surfaces. Ceiling repairs present physical risks and require overhead support, while matching textured surfaces takes specialized equipment and practice. Professionals ensure seams stay flat and invisible under critical lighting.",
