When it's time to have your home look its best, there are few details that will have as dramatic an impact as quality drywall installation. From new additions to basements finished, or merely renovating an older home, drywall provides the base for a smooth, professional interior.

At Wingate Construction, we’re more than just a drywall contractor in Raleigh — we’re a full-service construction and remodeling company with over 20 years of experience. From minor drywall repairs to complete home renovations, our team has the skills, tools, and dedication to transform your space.

In this manual, we will discuss all about how to hire a Raleigh drywall contractor, why you need a high-quality drywall, and how our entire range of services can revamp your home from old to excellent.




 

Why You Should Hire a Raleigh Professional Drywall Contractor?

At first glance, drywall work might seem easy — plain old sheets of gypsum board nailed against a wall frame. However, the difference between a quick patch job and professional-grade drywall installation is lightyears. Not only does great-quality drywall make your home refinished, but it also gives it added strength, durability and long term value.

Perfect Smooth Finish No lumps – No seams that show -No uneven walls so you have a perfect smooth wall to paint or texture.

Structural Support in Place – We make sure your drywall is installed correctly so walls and ceilings are sturdy and secure for years to come.

Better Paint & Texture Look – The final look of your texture or paint depends entirely on the surface it is applied to. A smooth, well-prepared drywall surface yields an amazing look.

Saved Time & Money Time saved in installation is equal to money spent in rectification. The professional will be right on the first go-round and even save you money and aggravation.

Full-Service Remodeling formerly Known as Drywall is only a small portion of what we do at Wingate Construction. We handle the whole thing, whether it is the framing or the painting that you just have to deal with your single reliable working crew.

The Drywall Process: From Bare Walls to a Finished Room

If you've never experienced drywall installation, you might be surprised by the number of careful steps it takes to have a smooth, professional-looking finish. Wingate Construction's Raleigh drywall professionals employ a tried-and-true method to ensure superior results every time.
 

1. Preparation & Framing

We start by inspecting space to ensure that there is a square framing, solid and ready to take place drywalls. We also see to it that plumbing, electrical and insulation are done before beginning.
 

2. Drywall Hanging

Each piece of drywall is carefully measured, cut, and nailed into walls or ceilings with the correct fasteners for a solid, long-term hold.
 

3. Taping & Mudding

We use joint tape to corners and seams, and then apply joint compound ("mud") to blend surfaces together smoothly. Smoothness and durability are achieved through many coats.

4. Sanding
We sand the mud when it is set to remove ridges and imperfections, leaving the surface smooth and ready to finish.
 

5. Texture & Finishing

Subject to your preference, we can either leave it a perfectly smooth wall or custom-texture. Our professionals are experienced in matching existing textures for a seamless repair.
 

6. Painting & Final Touches

Being an all-around contractor, we can prime and paint your new walls so that you can instantly enjoy them. We attend to cleanup, so your space is neat.

Drywall Repairs vs. Replacement in North Carolina
Not all drywall problems need you to replace an entire wall. Wingate Construction is more than happy to come visit your home and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your case.
Drywall repair is generally the best choice for small nail holes, dents, little settling cracks, faint surface markings, or water spots that have not caused massive damage. Our experts can patch, smooth, and finish these areas so that they look like new.

Drywall replacement is required when the damage is extensive. This involves large sections of water damage, visible mold, large structural cracks, or severe wear and tear that compromises the integrity of the wall. We replace the damaged areas with fresh, top-quality drywall to regain strength and appearance in such situations.




 

Increasing Home Value with Drywall & Remodeling in NC

New, professionally fitted drywall can quickly make an old home look clean and fresh. But paired with other remodeling work, new drywall can turn the home's makeover — and the cost — into something even better.

To completely redo the inside of your home, pair drywall replacement with interior professional painting. This creates a smooth, like-new look throughout your home.

If there is excess space, completing the attic or basement offers valuable living space, perfect as a guest room, office, or game room.

Renovating the kitchen or bathroom is another excellent return on investment. These spaces are two of the first things buyers notice, and new finishes can make resale value soar.

Finally, new energy-efficient windows and doors not only enhance comfort, but utility bills drop, a perk wanted by potential buyers.
