Carry drywall repair through to the new paint
A wall can reach the painting stage with bare compound, a texture mismatch, or uneven porosity if repair and coating are handed off separately. Then paint begins before the surface is ready for a consistent finish.
Solis coordinates drywall repair, surface preparation, primer, and finish paint across the same area. Keeping those stages together carries the wall from damaged board through its new coating without a separate repair-to-paint handoff.
- Drywall repair and paint carried over the same area.
- Preparation, primer, and finish paint connected.

- 1975Median year Lakewood homes were built
Half of Lakewood's homes were built before 1975 and half after. Send the year your home was built with your photos; it tells us what the walls and earlier patches are likely made of. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
- 58.9%of Lakewood homes were built before 1980
Asbestos was banned from wall patching compounds in 1977, so old patches and joint compound in these homes are tested before they are sanded. U.S. EPA, regulatory history of asbestos bans

Washington's lead renovation rules cover housing built before 1978, and a firm must be certified to do paid renovation work under them. WAC 365-230-020 and 365-230-360

Repair the board before paint is considered
A hole or opened seam gets a surface patch or a new piece, depending on its edges. We feather compound past the repair and sand it for smooth paint or matching texture. Paint before that and the edge shows through, so the repair always comes first.
Choose the paint edge that looks intentional
Paint can stop at the patch, run to a corner or cover the wall or ceiling. A touch-up on old paint can show a color or sheen difference even over a good repair. Sherwin-Williams ties prep to the surface and the product, and we write the paint area into the quote, so you can pick a touch-up or a repaint with the cost in front of you.
Plan multiple repairs together by room
Several holes, seams and old patches can go in one room scope, which is easier than pricing each spot alone. On a ceiling the paint question covers the whole plane, and on a wall we name the corner or casing where paint stops.
Old paint in pre-1978 Lakewood homes
Washington's lead renovation rules cover paid work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978, so tell us the year your home was built. Then text a close photo and a wide one of each repair.
