New drywall installed in Lakewood
We do drywall installation in Lakewood for additions, remodels and new partitions, hanging board to the approved layout and leaving it ready for finishing. A plan showing the openings and changes in plane helps the board fit the room.

Install drywall with the finished room in mind
New and renovated rooms can have different board, backing, opening, and finish requirements. When installation ends at bare sheets, seams, texture, smooth finishing, and primer preparation may be left for a separate handoff.
Solis installs drywall from the drawings and wall conditions, then carries board through taping and the selected finish. Connecting installation with finishing leaves the walls ready for their next preparation and coating work.
- Board installation follows drawings and wall conditions.
- Taping and selected finish carried with the installation.

Drywall installation in Lakewood homes
When Lakewood's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 3% Before 1940
- 20% 1940–1959
- 37% 1960–1979
- 25% 1980–1999
- 17% 2000 or later
- 1975Median year Lakewood homes were built
Half of Lakewood's homes were built before 1975 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
- 16.6%of Lakewood homes were built in 2000 or later
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

Confirm the walls and openings before board goes up
The plans should show walls, doors, windows, inside corners, ceiling changes and any short wall. We confirm rough-in and inspections are done before we close anything, since a layout change costs little now and a lot after finishing. We price by room or wall area so you can see which parts of the addition or remodel are in.
Coordinate board edges with adjacent construction
A new wall can meet old plaster, an existing ceiling, a stair or a beam, and each join changes how we cut and where finishing stops. Mark anything that stays open or needs an access panel, and show how the wall meets trim. The quote says whether it covers new board only or the repairs where it meets old work.
Set the finish before the painter arrives
Level 4, a full Level 5 skim, texture and paint are separate steps. The finish schedule or approved plans set the level, which a room name can't. We can price hanging and finishing apart or together, up to the point you choose.
Wallboard installation and Lakewood permits
Lakewood's handout B4 names sheetrock and wallboard installation in its list of work that needs a building permit. Send the room plan, the wall and ceiling areas, rough-in status and your finish choice.
Drywall Installation questions in Lakewood
Can drywall installation include joint finishing?
Yes. We list hanging, finishing, texture and paint as separate or combined stages.
When should rough-in work be finished?
Before we hang. Trade work and inspections should be done so new board doesn't get cut open again.
