Thurston County
Solis Interiors is a drywall contractor serving Tenino, providing wall and ceiling repair, drywall installation and finishing. Tenino's median home dates to 1980. About 28% of the city's housing stock predates 1960, and just over half was built in 1980 or later. Solis Interiors provides drywall repair, plaster patching, texture matching, and interior painting for that stock, from lath-and-plaster farmhouse walls to manufactured-home interiors.
Tenino holds about 796 housing units, and the median unit dates to 1980. The 1970s are the largest single decade at 152 units, roughly 19% of the city's stock. Another 132 units, close to 17%, were built in 1939 or earlier, which puts about 28% of Tenino homes before 1960. Detached single-family houses account for 592 units, about 74%, and manufactured homes for 89 units, about 11%. The remaining 115 units sit in buildings of two to nineteen units, 71 of them in buildings of 10 to 19. These figures are Census estimates for 2020 through 2024, so the decade bands carry sampling error.
Tenino homes built before 1960 were framed and finished with wood lath and plaster, and the plaster keys loosen as framing dries and settles. That shows up as cracks along ceilings and inside corners. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s still carry their original spray textures, and their ceiling joints open as truss lumber moves with the seasons. Manufactured homes bring a different set of moving joints, because the marriage line between sections shifts independently of the panel faces.
Historic farmhouses and heritage homes in Tenino often have uneven rough-sawn timber studs and cracking lime plaster. Solis shims bowed wall studs, re-bonds loose plaster keys with commercial acrylic bonding agents, and applies wide-feathered skim coats to create level, modern wall lines while preserving historic trim.
We install heavy-duty 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated drywall assemblies in detached garages, equipment shops, and hobby barns, taping fire-barrier seams and sealing penetrations to meet Thurston County building and fire codes.
Rural homeowners appreciate single-source accountability. Solis handles containment, surgical demolition, timber backing, hanging, taping, texture matching, and two finish coats of architectural paint under one contract, eliminating the need to coordinate separate subcontractors.
Washington law requires cities planning under the Growth Management Act to allow accessory dwelling units, and RCW 36.70A.680 and 36.70A.681 apply to Tenino. Middle housing under RCW 36.70A.635 binds cities in specified population tiers, and Tenino's tier status is not confirmed here. Solis does not interpret code or make land-use determinations. For any project, approved plans and the local authority determine the requirement; Solis scopes the listed drywall work and coordinates the relevant handoff.
