        "text": "A home renovation or room addition that involves framing alterations, electrical rewiring, or structural changes typically requires a building permit from your local municipal or county authority. While cosmetic drywall repairs rarely trigger permits, new wall construction and garage fire-barrier installations require inspections before and after drywall is hung. Wall inspections confirm that framing, plumbing, mechanical rough-ins, and insulation meet building codes before they are concealed behind gypsum board. Working with a licensed general contractor ensures that required permits are filed and inspections pass smoothly.",
