Drywall finishing in Gig Harbor, board to paint
We do drywall finishing in Gig Harbor, carrying the joints, screws and corners through to the paint or texture you've chosen so each wall and ceiling reads as one surface. New board and repairs go through the same steps.

Carry the wall from board through its finished surface
New board can still leave seams and corners obvious once light crosses the wall. When taping, texture or skim work, and primer preparation are handled as separate jobs, the final coating can expose the handoff between them.
Solis carries the wall from board replacement through taping, the selected smooth or textured finish, and primer preparation. Keeping the same surface in view through coating gives the room a connected finish from new board to painted wall.

Drywall finishing in Gig Harbor homes
When Gig Harbor's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 2% Before 1940
- 2% 1940–1959
- 19% 1960–1979
- 30% 1980–1999
- 46% 2000 or later
- 1998Median year Gig Harbor homes were built
Half of Gig Harbor's homes were built before 1998 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

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
Bring panel joints and edges into the same plane
We treat the joints, screw heads, inside corners and outside corners, then feather each one into the board face. Every coat takes down the ridge left by the one before, and sanding plus a look under raking light shows where more blending is needed. Ceiling joints, butt seams and repair edges catch light differently from a long wall, so tell us which surfaces have to look alike before we price the finish.
Specify the finish that matches the room
Level 4 covers the joints, screws and corner bead. Level 5 adds a skim over the whole board. Neither one hides every mark in every light, and smooth surfaces, shinier paint and light running along a wall all show more. We go by your spec and the paint you're using, and we can do a sample when the look is the main decision.
Carry texture and painting through the handoff
We can stop at a paint-ready surface or carry on through texture, primer and paint. A smooth living-room wall and a sprayed ceiling get finished differently. Paint can stop at the repair, run to the nearest corner or cover the room, and the quote says which, so two bids can be compared line for line.
