Steel-stud walls and drywall for Yelm spaces
We put up metal stud framing and drywall in Yelm offices, shops and remodels. Door openings and service holes get set while the studs are bare, before any board closes the wall.

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.

Lay out the partition before closing it in
The wall line, height, doors and intersections set how the framing fits the room. We work from the current plans, including any rated or sound details. Door frames and service openings get confirmed before the board goes on, since moving them later means reopening finished work.

Coordinate services, frames and board edges
Boxes, plumbing, ducts and door frames meet the partition at points that need planning. We leave each trade its access and come back to close the wall when they're done. Where a short wall meets an existing wall or ceiling, the end detail goes in the scope.
Finish the wall for its next use
Once board is up, joints, screws and corners get finished for texture or paint. Some partitions stop at a drywall finish; others go through primer and paint. A rated wall keeps its layers and penetration details from the approved design.

A new partition counts as an alteration, which the city's FAQ says usually needs a building permit. Our Yelm work covers drywall installation and finishing on rural properties, acreage homes and shops. Text the floor plan or a photo of the space and mark where the new walls go.
