Questions and answers
How do we safely test and remove popcorn ceilings in mid-century Lakewood homes?
Mid-century ranches in Lakewood built between 1950 and 1979 require certified PLM laboratory asbestos testing under PSCAA rules before disturbance. Once verified asbestos-free (<1%), Solis executes dustless wet-scraping under full poly containment, re-screws loose panels to joists, floats rough builder Level 2 fire-taped joints flat with 2 to 3 coats of compound, and applies high-solids PVA primer and flat ceiling paint.
How do we protect lakefront homes and daylight basements from moisture around American Lake?
Homes around American Lake and Lake Steilacoom experience elevated subterranean humidity and high water tables. In finished basements and lakefront living areas, we install mold-resistant ASTM C1396 gypsum panels elevated 1/2-inch above flooring, use low-shrinkage chemical hot mud, and apply Class II vapor-retarding primers to eliminate mold growth.
How do we repair settling cracks and foundation movement in Lakewood homes?
Older Lakewood homes often develop settling cracks along door headers and window returns. We install structural composite deflection beads, bed high-tensile fiberglass mesh in chemical setting compounds, and feather joints 16 inches wide to permanently bridge moving joints.
Why combine drywall repair and fine interior painting under one contract in Lakewood?
Solis provides single-source accountability. Our craftsmen manage containment, surgical demolition, timber backing, boarding, taping, texture blending, and two coats of premium architectural paint under one warranty.
