Metal stud partitions and drywall in Lacey
We frame in steel: our metal stud framing and drywall work in Lacey means laying out track, setting studs, framing the openings and closing the wall in board, so one crew carries a partition from the floor plan to a paint-ready face. Steel stays straight and doesn't shrink or twist.

Keep metal framing and drywall on the same layout
Walls, openings, dimensions, and board requirements all have to meet the project layout. When framing and drywall are treated as separate tasks, a missed opening or handoff detail can slow the next stage of a renovation or build-out.
Solis builds interior metal-stud and drywall assemblies to the specified layout, carrying openings and finish handoff through the work. That keeps framing and board connected to the project documents and the sequence shared with other trades.
- Metal framing and board follow the specified layout.
- Openings and finish handoff carried through the work.

- 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 ADU plan requirements
The City of Lacey publishes ADU eligibility and plan requirements. On an ADU, the permitted plan set decides the partition layout and any rated walls we build. City of Lacey ADU information
Build straight partitions from track through finish
We snap the layout, fasten track to floor and ceiling, set studs at the specified spacing and frame doors and openings. Once in-wall work is done, we hang the board and finish the joints to the level in the plans. One crew on framing and board means the layout and the finished wall line up.
Lay out the partitions from the plans
We work from the current floor plan and partition schedule: wall types, heights, openings and where new walls meet existing ones. Returns, soffits and bulkheads are framed from the drawings so the finished face lands where the plan shows it. We snap the lines first, so a door in the wrong spot or a wall that clips a window gets caught on the floor, where moving it costs a chalk line.
Coordinate assembly requirements
Some partitions carry a fire or sound rating. For those, the board layers, insulation, channel and fasteners follow the listed assembly, and changes go back to the designer. Backing locations for TVs, cabinets or grab bars belong on the plan before the board goes on.
Separate framing from board finish
Our quote separates framing, hanging, finishing, texture and paint so you can see where each stops. If another sub is painting, we hand off at a primed or paint-ready surface, whichever you choose.
Lacey permits and ADU plans
Lacey's permit page lists painting and similar finish work as exempt but says nothing about new walls, so ask the city before building partitions. For an ADU, Lacey publishes its plan requirements; the permitted set is what we build to.
Send the partition schedule
Text or email the floor plan and partition schedule with wall heights. We'll price it by wall type, with framing and finish broken out.
Metal Stud Framing and Drywall questions in Lacey
Does metal stud framing include drywall and paint?
It can include all of it. Our quote lists framing, board, finishing and paint separately so you choose where we stop.
Can you select framing details from a room photo?
No. Stud size, gauge and spacing come from the plans. Photos help us see the existing walls the new ones tie into.
