I am going to be getting estimates and then signing a contract to have
3 rooms (game room, bedroom, storage room) in my basement, drywalled,

implement any "inappropriate" shortcuts that result in a less than
optimum result.

For example:

*I'm not a fan of textured drywall because it is so difficult to match after
a repair has been made.
