Drywall finishing for Puyallup remodels
We do drywall finishing in Puyallup: taping the joints, coating the screws and corners, and sanding the board flat for the paint or texture you picked. You get walls that are ready to decorate, with the finish level settled before the last coat goes on.

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.

Half of Puyallup's homes were built before 1987 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

From installed board to a continuous surface
We bed tape in every joint, build the compound up in thin coats and feather each coat past the edge of the last one, so a seam ends in a flat taper with no ridge. Screws and corners get the same treatment. How far the work runs depends on the finish you choose and the shape the board is in when we arrive.
Choose the finish level before the last coat
Level 4 covers the joints and fasteners. Level 5 adds a thin skim over the whole board, which helps when a tall window or a smooth, glossy paint will show every change in the surface. If your plans name a level, we finish to it. If they don't, we can do a small sample on one wall so you can judge it in the room's own light.
Separate drywall finish from texture and paint
Your quote gives each step its own line: joint finishing, any skim beyond the joints, texture, and paint prep. You can see at a glance whether we hand the room back ready for your painter or carry it through to the final coat ourselves.

Drywall Finishing questions in Puyallup
What does drywall finishing include?
Taping and coating the panel joints, corners and fasteners, then feathering and sanding them to the finish level you chose. Texture and paint are included when you ask for them.
Does drywall finishing include a Level 5 skim coat?
Not by default. Level 5 is an extra skim over the whole board after the Level 4 joint work. We include it when your plans call for it or you want it for a room with strong side light.
