        "text": "Small holes, cracks, and minor dents (typically under 6 inches in diameter) are ideal candidates for patching. This usually involves applying joint compound and sanding smooth. Larger damage, such as widespread cracks, significant water damage, or holes larger than a foot, often requires cutting out the damaged section and installing a new piece of drywall. This ensures structural integrity and a seamless finish, preventing future issues. A professional assessment can determine the most effective repair method.",
