A missing wall section. New framing that needs board. A room addition that's still just studs. That's a different job than a repair, and Cary Drywall Repair Pros handles it start to finish. We hang new board, tape it, texture it, and hand it back paint-ready.
Newer construction across Apex, Morrisville, and Holly Springs is often still under original builder-grade texture, which matters when we're adding a section that needs to blend into an existing room. Cary homes from that same growth wave face the same match challenge on additions and renovations.

Permits and codes for Drywall Installation
Installation on new framing is the work most likely to need a permit and inspection before we close it up. A straight section swap in an existing wall usually doesn't. When in doubt, we'll tell you which category your job falls into.
| Typically needs a permit | Often no permit |
|---|---|
| New construction or room additions | Replacing existing wall sections in place without structural changes |
| Structural framing tie-ins | — |
| Any work requiring inspection before drywall closes up the framing | — |

Drywall Installation FAQs
How is installation priced differently than repair?
Installation is quoted by square footage since it's about hanging and finishing new board across a defined space, not patching an isolated spot.
Do I need a permit for a room addition?
Usually, yes. New framing and drywall tied to an addition typically needs inspection before the board goes up. We can help confirm what your project needs.
