56% of Centralia homes were built before 1980, so we plan prep around Washington's lead rules for older paint.
- 23% Before 1940
- 11% 1940–1959
- 22% 1960–1979
- 28% 1980–1999
- 16% 2000 or later
Prepare wall repairs before painting the room
Bare compound, failed patches, cracks, texture differences, and changes in sheen can show through a new coat. Painting before the wall is ready can leave surface variations visible after the room is finished.
Solis prepares interior surfaces, coordinates drywall correction and texture blending, then applies primer and finish paint. Carrying preparation into painting gives repaired walls a consistent base for the selected coating.
- Wall repairs and texture prepared before painting.
- Primer and finish coats carried through the selected areas.

Painting Centralia homes
- 56.0%of Centralia homes were built before 1980
Paint in older rooms may sit over layers that predate the federal lead-paint ban, which changes how surfaces are prepared. U.S. Census Bureau, 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimates
- 1977Median year Centralia homes were built
Half of Centralia's homes were built before 1977 and half after. Mention the year your home was built when you send photos of the rooms. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
- 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
List the surfaces before choosing coverage
We list the walls and ceilings in the job, then mark trim, doors, cabinets and built-ins as in or out. Old coatings, patches, stains, texture and gloss all change the prep. If drywall repair is part of it, we price that separately so you can see what the painting costs on its own.
Choose color, sheen, and stopping points
Color and sheen decide how a fresh coat meets old paint. We stop at corners, trim and doorways, because a color change in the middle of a wall shows. Primer and the number of finish coats follow the product you pick. If you want to see a sample on the wall first, say so when you ask for the quote.
Prepare the surface for the selected coating
More than half of Centralia's homes were built before 1980, and Washington's lead rules cover housing built before 1978. Under them, scraping and sanding old paint is regulated work and high-speed sanders need a shroud and a HEPA vacuum attachment, while putting paint on walls that have already been prepared is not regulated.

Room sizes and photos are enough to start
Text us the room sizes, a photo of each wall and ceiling, colors and sheen if you've chosen them, and anything we should leave alone. Tell us whether prep or repairs are already done.
Interior Painting questions in Centralia
Can interior painting include drywall repair?
Yes. We fix the holes, dents and cracks first, then paint, and the quote shows both.
Can a repaired spot be painted without repainting the whole wall?
Sometimes, if the paint is recent and you still have the can. Older paint has usually faded, so we suggest painting to the nearest corner.
