Questions and answers

How do we safely test and remove acoustic popcorn ceilings in older Tumwater homes?

In Tumwater homes built prior to 1980, acoustic ceiling texture must be tested for asbestos under PSCAA Regulation 1 and WA L&I WAC 296-62. When verified asbestos-free (<1%), Solis executes dustless wet-scraping under full poly containment, re-fastens loose drywall screws into ceiling joists every 7 inches, applies 2 to 3 coats of finishing compound to float rough builder Level 2 seams flat, and finishes with high-solids PVA primer and dead-flat ceiling paint.

How do we protect daylight basements and river valley remodels from moisture in Tumwater?

Properties near the Deschutes River basin contend with high seasonal water tables and subterranean humidity. For finished basements and ground-level remodels, we install mold- and moisture-resistant ASTM C1396 gypsum panels elevated 1/2-inch above concrete slabs, bed joints with water-resistant setting compounds, and apply Class II vapor-retarding primers.

How do we coordinate open-concept remodel finishing in Tumwater?

When removing non-load-bearing walls or enclosing structural steel beams to create open-concept living spaces, Solis bridges structural framing transitions with heavy-duty structural composite beads and wide multi-pass feathering to ensure a seamless plane across old and new drywall.

Why is single-source drywall repair and painting the most practical choice in Tumwater?

Hiring Solis Interiors for both drywall and painting eliminates contractor finger-pointing over surface texture, joint flashing, and priming quality. Our master craftsmen handle framing backing, boarding, taping, texture blending, and two coats of premium architectural paint under one accountable warranty.
