Build the drywall around the specified sound-control assembly
Sound can travel between rooms when the wall build-up does not match the project requirement. Board type alone does not describe the whole assembly; framing, adjacent spaces, and how the room is used also affect the drywall work.
Solis installs drywall as part of the specified wall build-up, with assembly details and room use guiding the work. Following the plans ties board installation to the design that calls for sound control and the surrounding wall construction.
- Drywall installed to the specified wall build-up.
- Assembly details carried through the board installation.
Here’s how we get it handled
Text us photos or call
A close-up, a wider view and your city give us a useful starting point. You can also call and talk through the work.
Agree the scope and schedule
We review the work with you, arrange a site visit where needed and put the agreed scope and finish in your estimate.
Get the space finished
Solis completes the agreed work and reviews the finish with you. Include interior painting in the scope for a complete drywall-and-paint handoff.

Acoustic drywall in Chehalis homes
When Chehalis's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 29% Before 1940
- 16% 1940–1959
- 25% 1960–1979
- 18% 1980–1999
- 12% 2000 or later
- 1965Median year Chehalis homes were built
Half of Chehalis's homes were built before 1965 and half after. The estimate is wide here, about 7 years either way. New walls in an existing home are finished to meet what is already there, so the home's age shapes the finish plan. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
- 11.7%of Chehalis homes were built in 2000 or later
Newer homes are almost all drywall over wood framing, which keeps new work and the existing walls consistent. U.S. Census Bureau, 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimates
Use the assembly specified for the partition
Sound control comes from the complete wall: framing, layers, insulation, resilient parts, joints and penetrations. GA-600 lists sound-control designs for gypsum systems, and your plan or spec says which one applies to each partition.

Keep a gypsum wall distinct from an acoustic ceiling
About 29% of Chehalis's homes are in buildings with five or more units, among the highest shares of the cities we serve, and nearly half of households rent. The wall between two units is where sound control matters most to the people living there. Acoustic drywall is a gypsum wall or partition scope, while a suspended acoustic ceiling is a grid-and-panel system, so we pin down the surface and product before the scope is set.

Coordinate services and transitions before board goes up
Electrical boxes, doors and plumbing can break the assembly, so their locations get coordinated with the wall details before the partition closes. We install the drywall, and the assembly choice and any performance target come from the project documents.
Assembly details for an acoustic estimate
Send the wall type or assembly reference, dimensions, specified layers, openings and finish schedule. Keep framing or insulation as separate lines if someone else is doing them.
Acoustic Drywall questions in Chehalis
Does acoustic drywall alone soundproof a room?
No. Sound control comes from the whole assembly, openings and edges included. The plans specify it, and we build to them without promising a rating of our own.
Is acoustic drywall the same as an acoustic ceiling?
No. One is gypsum board in a wall or ceiling assembly; the other is a suspended grid with lay-in panels.
