Rebuilding walls after a fire in Tumwater
We come in for fire-damage drywall repair in Tumwater once the restoration company has cleaned and released the space, hanging new board and finishing the rooms back to how they looked. You get walls and ceilings rebuilt to match, with texture and paint carried to edges you choose.

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.

Start with the reconstruction handoff
We come in after the fire response, cleanup and any electrical or structural repair are done. The restoration company tells us which walls are released and what's already been removed. Our quote covers the open drywall and the finish that follows, and leaves cleaning and remediation to them.
Replace board to a clear edge
Damaged board is cut back to sound material and replaced with new sheets. We tape and feather the joints into the walls that survived, then match their texture. Where smoke stained board that's still firm, the restoration team decides whether it stays sealed or comes out.

Rated walls go back to their design
If a burned wall was a rated assembly, such as a wall between units, it gets rebuilt to that design with the same layers and joint details. Paint doesn't add to a rating. Tell us which walls were rated and we'll price them to match.

When the restoration crew releases the room
Text photos of each open wall and ceiling, and pass along the restoration company's release or scope if you have it. We'll price the rebuild room by room.
