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 Olympia homes
When Olympia's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 12% Before 1940
- 13% 1940–1959
- 23% 1960–1979
- 28% 1980–1999
- 25% 2000 or later
- 1982Median year Olympia homes were built
Half of Olympia's homes were built before 1982 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
- 47.5%of Olympia 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
Repair the board before rebuilding the finish
A dent may only need filling. A broken opening gets cut back to sound board, backed and fitted with a new piece. We tape the joint and feather the compound well beyond it so the finished wall doesn't show a ring. Loose tape and seams that crack again get the failed tape removed before we rebuild the joint.
Choose patching or a broader repair
A patch closes one small, defined hole. Long cracks, recurring seams, loose board or damage in several spots get a broader repair, because the support behind them may need work too. If water caused it, the source is fixed first. We then match the texture and paint to a corner or the full wall, since a touch-up on old paint usually shows.
When a repair needs a permit in Olympia
Olympia's permit guide lists building alterations or repairs among work that needs a permit, and painting and similar finish work among work that usually doesn't. It doesn't name drywall, so for anything larger than a patch, a call to the city settles it.
Send the damage up close and the whole wall
Text a close photo, a photo of the whole wall and what caused the damage if you know. We'll quote board repair, texture and paint as separate lines, with a full-wall paint option.
Drywall Repair questions in Olympia
Is drywall repair the same as drywall patching?
Patching is the small version: one hole, one piece. Repair covers cracked seams, loose board or damage in several places.
Will Solis paint the entire room after a repair?
Not unless you ask for it. We usually suggest painting to the nearest corner so the repair blends.
