Explore this serviceHow do we restore cracking lath-and-plaster in historic Olympia heritage homes?
Homes in South Capitol and Bigelow Highlands feature 100-year-old three-coat lime and gypsum plaster over wood lath. When unreinforced foundations settle, plaster keys break behind the lath. Instead of tearing out historic walls, Solis injects high-strength acrylic conditioners to re-bond plaster keys to the wood lath, beds high-tensile fiberglass mesh in low-shrinkage chemical hot mud, and feathers the surface flat to preserve original architectural moldings.
How do we eliminate joint photographing in Cooper Point and Westside contemporary builds?
Contemporary custom homes along Puget Sound inlets feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls that subject interior drywall to extreme grazing sunlight. We execute architectural GA-214 Level 5 finishes: applying a continuous skim coat over 100% of the gypsum board, equalizing substrate porosity, and sealing with airless-applied high-build drywall primer-surfacers.
How do we manage high tree canopy shade and ambient indoor dampness in Olympia?
Olympia's heavy evergreen canopy creates prolonged shaded dampness. When repairing walls or ceilings, we use moisture meters to confirm framing lumber is below 15% Wood Moisture Content (WMC), install mold-resistant ASTM C1396 gypsum panels, utilize chemical-curing hot mud that sets independently of atmospheric humidity, and seal tannin water stains with 100% pure shellac primers.
How do we patch trench cutouts after electrical rewiring and copper repiping?
Following home electrical panel updates or whole-house repiping in older Olympia homes, electricians leave narrow utility access trenches. Solis installs solid 2x4 wood backing between every stud, chamfers drywall edges at 45 degrees, beds structural tape in hot mud, and feathers joints 16 inches wide so the repair is completely undetectable under paint.
