Carry an ADU from board installation through finish

An accessory dwelling has rooms, openings, and finish choices that need to come together before the walls close in. If the plan stops at board, taping and finishing can fall outside the schedule the project is working toward.

Solis installs ADU drywall from the room layout and drawings, then carries the work through taping and the selected finish. Those stages connect the wall surfaces to the dwelling's planned layout and target schedule.

  • ADU board installation tied to the room layout.
  • Taping and finishing carried into the project sequence.

What Tumwater actually allows on the lot

Washington requires cities to allow at least two accessory dwelling units on a lot in an urban growth area zone that permits single-family homes, and Tumwater's code carries that floor. Tumwater Municipal Code 18.42.010 applies its 1,000 square foot cap to finished living space rather than gross area, so a garage or utility bay does not count against it, and the garage itself is limited to 300 square feet. Parking is required only where there is no on-street parking within 300 feet and no transit stop within half a mile. State law also requires an existing detached garage to be convertible even when it sits inside current setbacks, so the structure already on the lot is usually where the work starts. Approved plans and the local authority determine the requirement; Solis scopes the listed drywall work and coordinates the relevant handoff.

What changes the estimate?

Access, occupied-room protection, substrate condition, ceiling height, and the requested finish all change the work sequence in Tumwater, Washington. Send photos, dimensions, and the drawings or finish notes already available so Solis can separate visible drywall work from questions for the designer, inspector, or another specialist. For an ADU, the approved wall and ceiling details control fire, sound, and air-sealing questions; Solis prices the listed drywall work without promising a permit or inspection result.

Common questions

What should I send for a Tumwater adu drywall estimate?

Send wide and close photos, room dimensions, ceiling height, access notes, and the finish or project documents you have. Those details help us identify the practical next step before a site review.

What is outside a Tumwater drywall estimate?

Design approvals, permit decisions, hazardous-material testing or abatement, structural engineering, restoration drying, and other specialist work remain separate when the project requires them. We identify that boundary before pricing the drywall scope.
