- 23% 1960–1979
- 28% 1980–1999

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 Olympia homes
- 47.5%of Olympia 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
- 1982Median year Olympia homes were built
Half of Olympia's homes were built before 1982 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
Prepare the surface before coating
We go over the room for nail holes, patch marks, loose paint and rough edges that would show under the new coat. Patching, sanding and primer are part of prep; larger drywall repair or texture work goes on its own line.
Lead rules in older Olympia homes
Close to 48 percent of Olympia's housing predates 1980. Washington's lead renovation rules cover paid work that disturbs paint in housing built before 1978. If your home is that old, tell us when you send photos, because it changes how the prep is done.
Choose color, sheen and stopping points
Color and sheen read differently in daylight and under your fixtures. A corner or trim line gives each color a clean stop, and we can paint a sample on your wall before the full coat.
No permit needed for paint
Olympia's permit guide lists painting and similar finish work among projects that usually don't need a permit, so a repaint can start as soon as the colors are picked.
Room photos and your color list
Text a photo of each room, close-ups of any damage, the colors and sheen if you know them and the year the house was built. We'll quote by room.
Interior Painting questions in Olympia
Does interior painting include drywall repair?
Small repairs are part of prep. Larger repairs are priced separately so you can see them.
Will the color look exactly like it does on a screen?
No. Screens and room lighting change how a color looks. A sample on your wall is the reliable check.
