Drywall Contractor in Novato, CA
Ron Hogan Drywall hangs, tapes, and finishes walls in Novato — houses off Novato Boulevard, Grant Avenue shops, and Ignacio Boulevard interiors. Family-owned since 1970. The crew comes from Fairfield. The lot has to be inside the City of Novato, not San Rafael, not Petaluma, and not unincorporated Marin County.
Novato runs its own building division
A Novato drywall call is usually a house remodel, a Grant Avenue shop, or a patch. Novato incorporated on January 20, 1960. It is a city in Marin County. The city building division issues the permits. San Rafael is south and runs its own counter. Petaluma is north, in Sonoma County. Those desks do not share Novato’s counter. Unincorporated land around the city goes to Marin County.
Grant Avenue, Redwood Boulevard, and Novato Boulevard inside the city are this page. A 94945 label on a county lot is not a Novato permit. Send the street.

Finish in the scope
Level 3 for texture or a shop. Level 4 for a normal painted room. Level 5 only if the light or a dark flat paint will show the joints.

Novato streets, ZIP, and the city counter
Novato incorporated on January 20, 1960. The Building Division is at City Hall, 922 Machin Avenue, Novato, CA 94945. Call (415) 899-8989.

City street ZIPs are 94945, 94947, and 94949. The area code is 415. Grant Avenue places downtown. Redwood Boulevard and Novato Boulevard place the cross-town houses. Highway 101 changes the drive time. Fire service is the Novato Fire Protection District — an independent district, not a Novato city fire hall. The district also covers unincorporated land around the city. Fire review for a city lot still goes through the Novato building counter.
The drive from Fairfield is west on Highway 37 and north on Highway 101. It does not change the board. Text the street so a San Rafael, Petaluma, or county job is not priced as Novato.
