Everything you need to know about your drywall project, answered by our experts.
General Questions
How long does a typical drywall project take?
Most residential projects, like a room addition or basement finishing, take between 3 to 5 days. This includes hanging, taping, mudding, and drying time between coats.
Do you handle small repairs?
Yes! We handle everything from small patches and hole repairs to full-scale commercial installations. No job is too small for Tri Cities Drywall.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Washington. We take pride in our professional standing and the protection it offers our clients.
Technical & Quality
What is a 'Level 5' finish?
A Level 5 finish is the highest quality drywall finish. It involves a thin skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface to create a perfectly smooth, uniform texture, ideal for high-gloss paints or critical lighting areas.
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes, texture matching is one of our specialties. Whether you have orange peel, knockdown, or a custom hand-applied texture, we can match it seamlessly.
What type of drywall do you use for bathrooms?
For high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, we use moisture-resistant drywall (often called 'green board') or cement board for tile backing to prevent mold and water damage.
Pricing & Estimates
Do you provide free estimates?
Absolutely. We provide free, no-obligation on-site estimates for all projects in the Tri-Cities area.
How do you calculate the cost of a project?
Pricing is typically based on the square footage of drywall needed, the height of the ceilings, the number of corners, and the desired finish level. We provide detailed, transparent quotes for every project.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options for larger projects. You can learn more on our Financing page or ask your estimator during your consultation.
