        "text": "For DIY backsplash preparation, you'll need basic tools like a tape measure, level, utility knife, caulk gun, and a clean bucket. Essential materials include painter's tape, drop cloths, cleaning supplies, and potentially patching compound or primer if the wall needs repair. Always have safety glasses and gloves. While Maine Results, Inc. primarily handles professional installations, we can offer guidance on initial preparatory steps if you plan to do some of the basic clearing yourself before our team arrives.",
