Put fire-damaged walls back after restoration work
Fire restoration can leave damaged board and finish to replace after the affected area is ready for drywall work. Without a clear handoff, board replacement and texture or paint preparation can be mixed into the restoration stage.
After the restoration provider clears the remaining work area, Solis repairs the drywall and carries the wall through texture and paint preparation as needed. Keeping that work with the post-restoration phase gives the room a clear path back to finished walls.

- 4% 1940–1959
- 20% 1960–1979
- 32% 1980–1999
- 43% 2000 or later
- 1996Median year Lacey homes were built
Half of Lacey's homes were built before 1996 and half after. The age of the home tells the restoration team and Solis which materials need checking before the damaged section comes out. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
- Before bidsWashington's asbestos inspection rule
Before work that could release asbestos, the owner or owner's agent has a good faith inspection done by an accredited inspector and gives the report to contractors before they bid. RCW 49.26.013 and WAC 296-62-07721
- 48 sq ftORCAA notification threshold in Thurston County
Work involving more than 48 square feet of asbestos-containing material is an asbestos project here, and ORCAA must be notified at least 10 days before it begins. Olympic Region Clean Air Agency, asbestos guide
- ExemptPainting and finish work in Lacey
Lacey exempts painting, papering and similar finish work from building permits. Its permit page does not list drywall, so ask the city before adding or rebuilding walls. City of Lacey, construction permits
- Lacey homes built before 1980
About a quarter of Lacey's housing units were built before 1980. In those homes, fire-damaged drywall and texture are inspected for asbestos before they come out. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, year structure built
Rebuild released walls and ceilings for the remodel
Once the restoration team releases the area, we replace the damaged drywall and follow the approved assembly where the wall had a rating. New joints are taped and finished, and texture and paint are matched to the room. Cleanup, structural review and restoration stay with the companies responsible for them.
Start after the affected area is released
Smoke cleanup, odor treatment and any structural repair come before us. When the restoration company or adjuster says a room is ready for rebuild, we schedule it. Their scope or release tells us which walls come out and which stay.
Older homes and hidden materials
About a quarter of Lacey's homes were built before 1980, when patching compounds and sprayed ceiling texture could still contain asbestos. Washington has the owner get a good faith asbestos inspection by an accredited inspector before work that could release it, and in Thurston County more than 48 square feet of asbestos material requires 10 days' notice to the clean-air agency.
Match the approved wall or ceiling system
A garage wall shared with the house, or a wall between units, often has a fire rating. We rebuild that assembly to the plans, including panel type, layers and fasteners, and route any change through the designer or building official.
Shared walls in Lacey condos
In a condo or townhome, Lacey's HOA guidance puts common areas in the association's hands, and a wall between units may belong to it, so the manager confirms who authorizes the rebuild. If an adjuster is involved, we can break the quote out by room so it lines up with their scope.
Send the release and room photos
Text us the restoration release or scope and photos of the open rooms. We'll quote board, finish and paint to the boundary the adjuster approved.
