Drywall Contractors in Spokane: New walls, repairs and ceilings, finished so no seam shows

The price and finish agreed in writing before the board is ordered, the same crew from first day to last, and no deposit until your date is booked.

Drywall Contractors in Spokane, WA

The board goes up flat, takes paint the next day, and gives a raking light nothing to find.

A drywall seam taped and skimmed flat, the band of compound feathered into the board either side under a low sun

Spokane Drywall Pros is a drywall contractor working across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake and Cheney. Four crews and two hundred jobs a year, residential and commercial, with one crew held back all year for repairs. New work books two weeks out.

Drywall installation on new framing is most of what we do, with drywall repair on cracked, sagging or cut-into board behind it. Then texture and finishing to match the wall already there, ceilings with the popcorn scraped off, and water damage repair after a leak.

Every wall is finished to Level 4, and any wall a low sun crosses to Level 5, skimmed over the whole surface so no joint telegraphs through the paint.

What size drywall job is worth calling about? A job as small as one cracked corner bead in a hallway is worth a homeowner call, and a forty unit build-out on a general contractor schedule sits at the other end.

Who we are

Your drywall people in Spokane and the Valley

We have been hanging and finishing board here for twelve years. It still comes down to the right board for the room and a joint nobody can find once the paint is on.

Two of us run the business and one of us walks every job before it is priced. Nobody quotes off a photograph, and what is behind the board is checked rather than taken on trust.

Why trust us

  • You get the crew's names before anybody knocks on the door
  • Repairs looked at the same week, new work booked to a date
  • The popcorn comes down with the house still lived in

Services

Drywall installation and repair in Spokane

  • Drywall Installation

    For anyone starting with bare studs in new construction, an addition, or 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.

    Learn more about Drywall Installation
  • 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, because everything is lit from the side and there is nowhere for a bad seam to hide. That makes them 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.

Every wall on our quotes carries a finish level, and the number matters. Level 4 is the standard for a painted wall and is right for most rooms. Level 5 adds a thin skim over the whole surface, worth paying for wherever a big window or a long fixture throws light down the wall, because low sun finds whatever a joint leaves behind. If a competing quote does not name a level, ask which one the price buys.

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
  • 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

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

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

What your drywall is 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, because 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, and buyers price an unknown far above what the repair costs.

So the value is in what it stops. We will tell you which marks an inspector would write up and which will not, including when the honest answer is that it can wait.

A bright, finished open-plan living and dining room with flat smooth walls and ceiling

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 and 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 the room needs and we will put a date and a price on it.

The whole wall is one drywall crew's job

Four crews have hung, taped, finished and textured across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake and Cheney, and none of it is handed to a second outfit half way through. The person who sanded the last coat is the person who comes back if a seam moves in the spring.

Call (509) 357-5705 or fill in the form and we will come and measure the job at the house.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

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. Nobody on your job is on somebody else's payroll.

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.
