Quieter shared walls in Lacey with acoustic drywall
We install acoustic drywall on walls in Lacey, building the sound-control assembly in your plans so a bedroom, office or shared unit wall actually blocks more sound. The performance comes from the whole wall build, so we install every layer as specified.

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.

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 Lacey homes
When Lacey's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- under 1% Before 1940
- 4% 1940–1959
- 20% 1960–1979
- 32% 1980–1999
- 43% 2000 or later
- 1996Median year Lacey homes were built
Half of Lacey's homes were built before 1996 and half after. 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
- 42.8%of Lacey 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
- ExemptPainting and finish work in Lacey
Lacey exempts painting, papering and similar finish work from building permits. Its permit page does not list drywall, so ask the city before adding or rebuilding walls. City of Lacey, construction permits
- Lacey's multiunit buildings
About a fifth of Lacey's housing units are in buildings of five or more units, where a wall between homes may be shared. The owner or association approves work on it. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, units in structure
Install the specified wall sound-control layers
We build the wall as the detail shows: board type and layers, insulation, resilient channel, screw spacing and sealant at the edges. Then we finish the face to the level in the plans. A single sound-rated panel doesn't make a quiet wall; the full assembly does, and that is what we install.
Walls between Lacey units
About a fifth of Lacey's homes are in buildings with five or more units, and close to half of homes are rented. In an association-run building, a wall between units can be shared, so the owner or association approves the work.

Keep walls separate from ceilings
Sound through a wall and sound through a floor travel different paths. Footsteps from upstairs need a floor or ceiling assembly, which is a different design. If you have both problems, we quote each with its own detail.
Account for openings and penetrations
Outlets, doors and ducts leak sound. We seal and back the boxes as the detail requires and don't swap components without the designer's say. If an outlet sits back to back with one in the next room, we'll point it out. We run acoustic sealant along the floor and ceiling edges where the detail calls for it, because an open gap along the wall lets sound around the board.
When there is no drawing
For a home office or media room with no drawings, we can price one of the published sound-control walls in the Gypsum Association's design manual, so you can see what it adds over a standard wall before anyone commits.
Send the wall and what's on the other side
Text us the plan detail if you have one, or a photo of the wall and a note on what's on the other side. You'll get a price for the wall build and its finish.
Acoustic Drywall questions in Lacey
What plans should I share for acoustic drywall?
The wall detail or assembly number if you have one. If not, a photo of the wall and what's on the other side is enough to start.
Can an acoustic wall detail be used on a ceiling?
No. Ceilings need their own assembly because footfall and airborne sound travel differently through a floor.

For acoustic drywall in Lacey, text the wall detail or a photo of the wall and tell us what is on the other side.
