Thurston County
Solis Interiors provides comprehensive drywall installation, outbuilding shop finishing, texture matching, and interior painting for rural properties, custom acreage homes, and equestrian estates in Yelm, McKenna, and the Nisqually Valley.
Rural properties in Yelm frequently feature post-frame pole buildings and metal workshops. Because post-frame timber moves differently than conventional stud framing, we install horizontal 2x4 wall girts spaced 16 or 24 inches on center, hang 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated gypsum board for fire separation, and install sag-resistant ceiling panels capable of supporting attic insulation.
Homes heated with wood stoves or pellet stoves experience intense localized thermal expansion and rapid moisture drying cycles. Standard pre-mixed bucket mud shrinks and cracks under these conditions. Solis beds joints in chemical-setting hot mud with high-tensile paper tape, creating high-bond joints that withstand extreme indoor temperature swings.
Manufactured and modular homes in rural Thurston County often develop recurring cracks along the central structural marriage line where two halves join. We install specialized backer clips, remove rigid screws that restrict independent settling, and tape seams with high-tensile structural composite expansion beads that absorb seasonal movement.
For accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and guest suites, we execute WSEC-compliant airtight drywall assemblies, sound-dampening resilient channel partitions between bedrooms, and moisture-resistant tile backer boards in high-humidity bathrooms.
