Spokane Drywall Pros

Drywall Contractors in Spokane, WA — Spokane Drywall Pros

Hung, taped and finished by our own crews — the people who quote the job are the people who show up to do it.

Flat walls ready for paint the next day

You get flat walls, seams you cannot find, and a house that is ready for paint the day after the crew leaves.

A drywall seam taped and skimmed flat, the band of compound feathered into the board either side under low raking light, with a taping knife resting against the wall.

Spokane Drywall Pros is a drywall contractor working across Spokane, hanging and finishing board since 2014. Four crews, a little over two hundred jobs a year, residential and commercial. We book about two weeks out and keep one crew free for repairs.

Drywall installation on new framing and drywall repair where something has cracked, sagged or been cut into — between them that is most of what we do. Then texture and finishing to match what is already on the wall, ceilings, and water damage repair after a leak. We hang, tape, finish and haul away. Any wall that takes raking light is finished to Level 5 — the whole surface skimmed, not just the joints and the screws, so nothing shows up when the afternoon sun comes across it.

Not sure whether your job is big enough to bother us with? A homeowner with one cracked corner bead in a hallway is worth a call. So is a general contractor with a forty-unit build-out on a schedule. Both get the same crew and the same finish.

Call (509) 357-5705 for a free estimate. Right now you notice that crack every time you sit down. When the crew has gone you will not be able to find the wall it was on.

Our drywall services in Spokane

  • Drywall Installation

    For anyone starting with bare studs — new construction, an addition, a basement going from storage to living space. This is the stage nobody sees and everything after it depends on: get the board hung true and the finisher has an easy job, get it wrong and no amount of mud hides it. Builders book us by the phase.

  • Drywall Repair

    For the crack above the door that has come back twice, the hole behind a door handle, the ceiling that went soft after a leak upstairs. Most people have put it off because it feels too small to call about. It is not, and a repair that matches the wall around it is a different trade from patching it.

    Learn more about Drywall Repair
  • Texture and Finishing

    For the room where new work has to disappear into old. Matching an existing knockdown or orange peel is the part homeowners underestimate and the part that decides whether a repair reads as a repair. Also for anyone changing texture across a whole house, which is a bigger job than it sounds.

    Learn more about Texture and Finishing
  • Ceilings

    For popcorn that dates the house, sagging that has started to worry you, and new ceilings in additions and basements. Ceilings are the least forgiving surface in the building — everything is lit from the side and there is nowhere for a bad seam to hide — so they are the clearest test of whoever you hire.

    Learn more about Ceilings
  • Water Damage Repair

    For after the leak has been fixed and somebody has to make the room whole again. Insurance work, burst pipes, roof failures. The board has to come out further than the stain goes, the cavity has to be dry before anything closes up, and both of those get skipped by people in a hurry.

The board and finish level on your quote

Half-inch board, five-eighths overhead, Type X where a rating calls for it, moisture-resistant in wet rooms.

Most drywall quotes say a price and a number of days and nothing about what is actually going on the wall. That is where the difference between two prices usually lives, so ours says it.

Half-inch board as standard and five-eighths where the code or the ceiling span calls for it, moisture-resistant in wet rooms and Type X where a rated assembly is specified. Paper tape on the flats and metal-reinforced bead on the corners, setting compound for the bedding coat and lightweight for the finish.

  • 1/2" and 5/8" board, spec'd per assembly
  • Moisture-resistant board in wet rooms
  • Type X where a rating is called for
  • Paper tape, metal-reinforced corner bead
  • Setting compound bedded, lightweight finished
  • Level 4 standard, Level 5 on raking light
Drywall sheets stacked on edge, the cut edges showing different board thicknesses side by side with green-faced moisture-resistant sheets among the plain ones.
A roll of paper joint tape, a length of metal-reinforced corner bead, a broad taping knife and two buckets of joint compound laid out together on a clean subfloor.

Ask your other two quotes what board, level of finish and texture they are pricing, then call us and we will walk the job for free.

Why do two rooms the same size cost different amounts?

Board and tape is priced by the square foot right up until something about the room says otherwise. These are the things that say otherwise.

Area and ceiling height
The board goes on by the sheet, so the sheet count is the first thing that moves. High ceilings and stairwells cost more per square foot, because both need staging before anything is hung.
Level of finish
A garage that only needs to be sound does not need the finish a hallway with a window does. The higher levels are more coats and more sanding, which is labor rather than material.
Texture
A flat finish shows everything and takes the most work. Knockdown and orange peel hide more and go on faster, so the texture changes the preparation as well as the spray day.
Access and protection
An empty new construction is quicker than an occupied house. Masking, floor protection and working around furniture all take time before any board is cut, and none of it shows in the finish.
What is behind the board
Framing that is out of true has to be corrected or worked around before anything goes on it. Insulation, soundproofing and moisture board all change what is hung and how long it takes.
Repairs and punch-out
A patch is rarely just a patch. Matching an existing texture and blending a repair into a wall that has been painted twice is slower than hanging a fresh one and looks worse if rushed.

Which of these apply is a question about your rooms rather than about drywall, and it is settled once somebody has walked the job. Get a free quote

From your call to a swept floor, in six steps

Three to six days on site, and most of the noise is over in the first two.

  1. Your call and a free visit

    Same week

    You tell us what has come down, cracked or needs drywall, and we schedule a time to come and look at it. The visit is free and nothing is quoted over the phone.

  2. Survey and take-off

    Under an hour on site

    We measure the room, count the sheets and check what is behind the board, because framing that is out of true changes the price before anything is hung.

  3. The spec and the start date

    Within a few days

    You choose the level of finish and the texture, we agree the board type for each room, and the start date is booked. Nothing is ordered until that is settled.

  4. Protection and hanging

    One to two days on site

    Floors covered, doorways sealed and return vents covered, then board cut and fixed to the framing — moisture-resistant in wet rooms, Type X where a rating is called for.

  5. Taping, finishing and texture

    Two to four days with drying

    Setting compound for the bedding coat and lightweight for the finish, sanded with a vacuum rather than open. Texture is matched to what is already on the wall, or sprayed flat where the spec calls for it.

  6. Haul-away and a swept floor

    The day we finish

    Scrap and buckets go with us the same day, and the floor is swept and vacuumed before we leave. What is left is a wall that is ready for paint.

Tell us what has come down, cracked or needs drywall and we will come and look at it.

What your walls are worth when the house sells

A cracked ceiling reads to a buyer as a roof problem, and they price it like one.

Drywall is not a feature anybody buys a house for. It is what costs you a sale when it is wrong — a cracked ceiling or a bad texture match reads to a buyer as a roof problem or a leak, whether or not it is one.

So the value is in what it stops. An agent uses what an inspector writes up to knock the offer down by considerably more than the repair costs, because they are pricing an unknown. We will tell you which marks will be written up and which will not, including when the answer is that it can wait.

A bright, finished open-plan living and dining room with flat smooth walls and ceiling, large windows and a warm wood floor.

What dry air and old plaster do to drywall in Spokane

Dry air sets compound faster than the bag says, pre-war stock is plaster not board, and ice dams put February water through ceilings — three things, each of which changes the job.

The air here is dry nearly all year
Semi-arid summers and dry winter heating mean compound sets faster than the bag time says. Coats are mixed smaller and timed to the room rather than to the clock, because a joint rushed in that air cracks by spring.
A lot of the older stock is lath and plaster
Browne's Addition, the lower South Hill and much of Perry and Garland went up before 1940, and what looks like drywall is often plaster on wood lath. Different fixing, different repair, and a skim rather than tape.
Ice dams put water through ceilings
A cold roof, a warm attic and a freeze-thaw week in February is how most ceiling work here starts. The stain is rarely the extent of it, so we cut back to sound board and check above before anything is patched.

Walls and ceilings we have finished around Spokane

Recent walls and ceilings, with the town each job went into. Every one was measured, hung and finished by our own crews.

  • Ceiling replaced after an ice dam in Mead

    Ceiling replaced after an ice dam

    Mead

    The stain was a foot across and the wet board ran back three joists. Cut out to sound framing, dried, reboarded and finished to match the rest of the room.

  • New construction hung and finished in Liberty Lake

    New construction hung and finished

    Liberty Lake

    Two floors and a vaulted great room, hung and taped to a Level 4 finish, worked around the electrician so the flooring date did not move.

  • Plaster skimmed to a flat finish in Browne's Addition

    Plaster skimmed to a flat finish

    Browne's Addition

    Lath and plaster left in place where it was sound, keyed, bonded and skimmed flat rather than torn out, which kept the original crown molding on the wall.

  • Garage turned into a workshop in Spokane Valley

    Garage turned into a workshop

    Spokane Valley

    Framing insulated and hung, corners taped and a flat finish through so the room takes paint rather than staying a garage with lights in it.

  • Popcorn ceilings taken off in South Hill

    Popcorn ceilings taken off

    South Hill

    Three bedrooms and a hallway scraped, the ceilings skimmed and sanded with a vacuum, and the house lived in throughout with the rooms handed back nightly.

  • Water damage cut back and reboarded in Cheney

    Water damage cut back and reboarded

    Cheney

    A failed supply line behind a bathroom wall. Board cut back past the damp line, framing checked and dried, then reboarded, taped and textured to match.

What customers said once the dust was gone

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    Ceiling came down in February after an ice dam. They cut back a lot further than I expected and showed me why — the board either side was still soft. You cannot tell now.
    Marcus T. Mead Water Damage Repair
  • Rated 5 out of 5

    Two floors taped and finished, and they worked around my electrician without me having to referee it. Off site Friday like they said, so the flooring went down Monday morning.
    Dana R. Liberty Lake Drywall Installation
  • Rated 5 out of 5

    1908 house, plaster walls, and three people told me to rip it all out. These were the only ones who said it could be skimmed instead. Kept the original crown molding, which is why we bought the place.
    Priya S. Browne's Addition Texture and Finishing

Every one of these started with a look at the room and a price. Yours can start the same way.

Questions people ask before booking the work

Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

Registered with L&I, bonded, and carrying general liability and workers' compensation. Washington requires all three, and you can check our registration number on the L&I site in about a minute. We send the certificates before we start rather than when somebody asks.

Who will be in my house?

One of our four crews, and the same crew from the first day to the last. Whoever quoted it walks the job with them on the first morning. Nobody is sent to a house they have not been briefed on, and you get the names before anybody shows up.

Is any of it subcontracted out?

No. Four crews, all of them ours. It matters more in this trade than most, because the hanger and the finisher have to agree about what a flat wall is, and they only do that if they work together every week. Whoever quotes it answers for it.

Is there a deposit?

On larger jobs, once the start date is booked and the board is ordered. Repairs are usually invoiced on completion. Whichever applies is written on the quote before you agree to anything, and we do not ask for money before you have a date.

How do you invoice?

By stage on a build, on completion for a repair. Bank transfer or card, never cash, and every stage is invoiced so there is a record on both sides. Anybody asking for the full amount before the board goes on is worth two more quotes.

Can I move the start date?

Usually, with a few days' notice. Crews are booked in blocks, so a late change can push you behind another job rather than moving everything by the same number of days. Tell us as soon as you know and we will say honestly what it costs in time.

Who do I call once the work has started?

Whoever quoted it, on a direct number. Not an office line, and not the crew's own phones while they are up on stilts. On a job with several trades running, one point of contact is the difference between a schedule and a rumor.

Do you pull permits?

Drywall on its own does not need one. If a wall is coming out, or framing or electrical is being altered, that work does and the trade doing it pulls it. Insulation has to be inspected before we board, so we book from that date rather than from the framing date.

Can I buy the board myself?

You can, and people do on small jobs. On a whole house we would rather you did not: board bought by the pallet and delivered to the day costs less than a truckload sitting on a driveway, and we cannot stand behind sheets that have been out in the weather.

What happens if something gets damaged?

It goes through our liability insurance and you hear it from us the same day. Floors are covered and doorways sealed before anything comes in, so it is rare — but stairs, tight landings and old trim are what they are, and we would rather say so up front.

What if a wall is not right when you finish?

We walk it with you under a light before the final invoice, because that is when seams show and not before. Anything needing another coat gets one. What is covered after that is set out on your quote, so it is worth reading before you sign it.

Can I get a reference from a past job?

Yes, and we would rather you took one. We will give you two or three from the last few months in your part of town and you are welcome to call them. Anybody who will not put you in touch with a recent customer is telling you something.

Spokane Drywall Pros

One crew is kept off the schedule all year, for the ceiling that drops on a Tuesday.

Spokane Drywall Pros hangs, tapes, finishes and textures board across Spokane and the towns out to the county line. New construction and additions, repairs after a leak, popcorn ceilings taken down, and whole houses hung to a turnover date. Four crews, a little over two hundred jobs a year, residential and commercial alike.

Why people call us rather than the next name on the list

  • Twelve years hanging drywall in this valley, since 2014
  • The measure is free and the quote names the board and the finish level
  • One crew held back for repairs, so a small job is not queued behind a build
  • Dry air here sets compound early, and the schedule is built around that
  • The room is swept, vacuumed and handed back before the van leaves

If you have a wall that has cracked, a ceiling that has started to sag or a room that needs drywall from scratch, call (509) 357-5705 and somebody will come and look at it. You get a written price off the measurements rather than a number guessed over the phone, and if a patch will do the job we will tell you so.
