New drywall for Tacoma additions and remodels
We handle drywall installation in Tacoma once the walls and ceilings are framed and ready for board. We price it from the room sizes, openings, board schedule and finish level, and put anything outside our part (repairs, insulation, framing design or paint) on its own line.

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 Tacoma homes
When Tacoma's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.

- 16% 1940–1959
- 21% 1960–1979
- 18% 1980–1999
- 18% 2000 or later
- 1967Median year Tacoma homes were built
Half of Tacoma's homes were built before 1967 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

Confirm framing and close-in readiness
Before we hang board, the framing, openings and everything inside the wall should match the approved plans and be inspected. We mark the walls and ceilings in scope, access panels and anywhere another trade still needs to get in, so nothing gets closed up early.
Match board scope to the room schedule
Board type, layers, direction and finish come from the plans where they're specified. Walls, ceilings, soffits and shafts get separate lines, and we follow the approved assemblies and the board maker's instructions.

New housing and older walls in Tacoma
Tacoma building permits authorized 742 new housing units in 2025, according to the Census Bureau's Building Permits Survey. In a remodel of an older Tacoma house, new board also has to meet the walls already there, and we finish that joint so it doesn't show.

Hang only, or hang and finish
Tell us if you want board hung only or carried through taping and finishing. We price from plans, rough wall and ceiling areas, the board schedule, the finish level and any phasing or access limits.
Drywall Installation questions in Tacoma
Does drywall installation include taping and finishing?
If you want it to. The quote says whether we hang only or finish to a named level, and where paint starts.
Can work start before framing is complete?
No. Framing and everything inside the wall need to be done and inspected before we board it.
