New drywall for Yelm additions, ADUs and shops
We do drywall installation in Yelm for additions, ADUs, remodels and outbuilding shops, then finish the board for whichever trade comes next. Openings and wall transitions get sorted before the sheets go up, so nothing has to be cut back open.

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.

Set the layout before the room is boarded
We walk the walls and ceilings, doors and windows, corners and plane changes after the rough-in is done, so outlets, pipes and ducts are where they belong before board covers them. We can price from plans or from measurements, with every included surface listed.

Carry board through ceilings and transitions
New walls meet ceilings, soffits, stairs and old rooms, and each meeting point needs a plan. Tying new board into an older wall may take some repair at the joint. We mark any area left open for access and the finish at each edge.
