Get the damaged drywall back into a finished room
Holes, cracks, and damaged board interrupt the room. Filling the opening is only part of the job; the repair also has to meet the surrounding wall and its existing texture before paint goes on.
Solis repairs damaged drywall, then carries the same area through texture matching and paint preparation. That connects board repair to the surrounding finish and gives the room a clear path from damaged wall back to its painted surface.
- Damaged board repaired with the surrounding surface in view.
- Texture and paint preparation carried with the repair.

Drywall repair in Gig Harbor homes
When Gig Harbor's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 2% Before 1940
- 2% 1940–1959
- 19% 1960–1979
- 30% 1980–1999
- 46% 2000 or later
- 1998Median year Gig Harbor homes were built
Half of Gig Harbor's homes were built before 1998 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
- 23.8%of Gig Harbor 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
- 1978Washington's lead-safe renovation cutoff
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
- Median year Gig Harbor homes were built
The Census Bureau's 2020-2024 ACS puts the median year built for Gig Harbor's housing units at 1998. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, median year structure built (B25035)
Match the repair to the damaged board
A small puncture, a broken panel edge, a long seam crack and a damaged ceiling each need a different repair area. The repair has to reach board that can hold the new piece and its joint, and when damage spans several panels or a seam has failed, a narrow patch leaves weak edges behind. A close photo and a room photo show us how the damage sits against corners, doors and fixtures.
Rebuild the plane, then restore its texture
Fixing the board is the first part. We finish the seams and screws, prep the surface and blend the pattern around it, and a smooth wall and a knockdown ceiling need different texture work. Half of Gig Harbor's homes were built after 1998, so most repairs here are in gypsum board. If an old patch has cracked again, show us, so we repair the area around it and don't just add another coat of compound.

Choose a paint boundary with the repair
Painting the repair alone, painting to a corner and painting the whole ceiling are priced differently. Existing color, sheen and age decide how a touch-up looks next to old paint. A bigger paint area gives a more even wall, and a smaller one may suit the room and your budget, so settle primer, paint and trim before comparing quotes.
Gig Harbor drywall repairs, room by room
Tell us whether each repair is a wall, ceiling, seam or opening, and show the texture around it and where you'd like the paint to stop. We can quote board, finishing and paint as separate stages or as one finished room.
