What this service can include

Renew uneven or textured surfaces with a smoother finish. Choose the walls or rooms you want to change, then discuss old repairs, coating adhesion and any loose or damp areas. Agree on the appearance in everyday light and whether the work includes primer and paint.

Plan this project

Bring new board and retained texture into one finishing conversation. Compare a consistent renewed surface with separate room finishes, including the repairs and painting work each needs.

Connect the work between rooms

For several rooms, agree which walls can close first and what other work is still needed. Include texture blending, primer and paint so the next stage can start with a clear finish.

Surface and finish

Think about how you want the room to look after the work. Tell us if you also need primer or paint.

Local project context

Tumwater’s planning neighborhoods include Tumwater Hill. Describe the walls or ceilings involved, including any seams or earlier repairs that need attention.

Before surface work begins

Have suspect wall or ceiling materials assessed before scraping, sanding or removal. EPA guidance explains that appearance alone cannot identify asbestos.
