For homeowners
Work done in an occupied house: masked off, cleaned up daily, and finished on the day we said it would be.
You get the room back when we said, swept, vacuumed and ready to paint — not a week later with dust still on the baseboard.
Spokane Drywall Pros is a drywall contractor in Spokane. Most of our work is in houses people are still living in, which is a different job from an empty new construction and we price it as one.
Patching and repairs, ceilings, whole rooms after a leak, basements and additions. On an occupied house that also means floor protection, plastic to the doorways, and a vacuum sander instead of an open one wherever the dust has somewhere to go.
One cracked corner in a hallway is a morning. A whole basement is two weeks. Either way you get told which, before we start, and we hold to it.
Call (509) 357-5705 for a free look at the job. We come out inside two days and you get a written figure the same evening.
Most of the job is protecting everything that is not the wall.
Drywall dust is the finest dust on any job site and it will find its way into rooms nobody worked in. Containing it is not a courtesy — it is most of the setup time, and it is the difference between a room being redecorated and a house being cleaned for two weeks afterwards.
The loud work and the dusty work are the same work, which is why it gets fitted around your day rather than ours.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Which of these apply is settled in ten minutes standing in your room, and you get a written price from the room rather than a rate over the phone. Get a free quote
Less than you fear if it is set up properly, and more than you can imagine if it is not. The dust travels through a house on the heating, so doorways are sealed and return vents covered before anything is cut, and sanding is done with a vacuum, not open. Expect to wipe surfaces afterwards, not to clean for days.
For a repair or a single room, no. For a whole-house reboard or a job that takes the only bathroom out of use, most people find a few nights elsewhere easier than living around it — but that is your call and we will tell you honestly which kind of job yours is.
A patch is a morning plus drying time. A single room is two to four days depending on the finish level, because the mud has to dry between coats and rushing that is what causes cracks later. We give you the days at the quote, not on the morning we start.
Usually. Cutting and sanding are the loud parts and they can be scheduled — mornings, afternoons, or around a nap or a call. Tell us the constraint when we come out and we will plan the days around it rather than telling you afterwards.
Every day, not just at the end. Sheets stay down while the job runs, waste goes out as it is made, and floors are swept and vacuumed before we leave each afternoon. Furniture that we moved goes back where it was.
On site by eight and off it by four thirty, with the loud work in the middle of the day rather than at either end. If eight is too early because of shift work or a baby, say so when we come out and the crew starts at nine instead. It is easier to plan around than to apologize for afterwards.
Power for the sander and the lights, and water for mixing and cleaning tools. Both are ordinary household amounts rather than anything you will notice on a bill. Parking matters more than either: board is heavy and carrying it an extra fifty yards adds real time, so we agree where the truck goes at the measure.
Out with us, the same day it is made. Scrap, buckets, tape and bagged dust go in the truck rather than into a pile on the driveway waiting for a dumpster. On a whole-house job there is more of it than people expect, which is exactly why it leaves daily rather than accumulating in the garage.
Yes, and on an occupied house it is often the sensible way. One room means one set of containment, one dusty day and the rest of the house usable throughout. It costs a little more overall than doing everything in one visit, and most people with children or someone working from home take that trade.
Tell us before the first morning. Doors get propped while board is carried in and that is exactly the ten minutes a cat leaves through. If there is a dog that needs the run of the house, we will work the containment around it or agree which days are the ones to be out, rather than finding out on the day.
The day after we finish on most jobs, and that is the point of finishing properly rather than quickly. Compound has to be dry all the way through rather than dry on the surface, so it is the last coat's drying time that sets the date. We tell you the date at the quote so a painter can be booked against it.
Not really. Joint compound is gypsum and water and it has almost no odour, wet or dry — it is the dust people notice rather than the smell. What a house does smell of afterwards is fresh paint, and that is the next trade. If anybody in the house has a chest, the sanding day is the one to be out for.
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
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.
