Featured Drywall Projects Across the Greater Eastside
From Bellevue and Kirkland to Redmond, Issaquah, Mercer Island, Kenmore, Duvall, and surrounding Eastside communities, these projects showcase our work in custom homes, ADUs, basements, garages, and whole-home remodels.
Each project required a different approach—from preparing walls for strong natural light to finishing vaulted ceilings, open floor plans, exposed beams, stairways, and other architectural details.
1. Issaquah ADU Drywall Installation & Interior Painting
Drywall Installation • Level 4 Finishing • Primer • Interior Painting
This custom ADU in Issaquah was taken from exposed framing and insulation to a completely finished interior. Our work included full drywall installation, Level 4 finishing, surface preparation, primer, and professional interior painting throughout the living space.
Careful attention was given to the window opening, corners, ceiling transitions, and wall flatness. Because the room receives substantial natural light, the finished surfaces needed to remain smooth and visually consistent throughout the day.

The completed space now feels bright, comfortable, and fully integrated into the home.
Project highlight: Strong natural light from the sliding glass door required flat, consistent wall surfaces without visible finishing imperfections.
4. Redmond Whole-Home Drywall Remodel
Whole-Home Drywall Installation • Smooth Wall Finishing • Interior Painting
This large Redmond remodel included extensive drywall installation and finishing throughout an open-concept home with vaulted ceilings, skylights, exposed structural beams, and expansive windows.

6. Redmond Loft Level 5 Drywall Finishing
Level 5 Skim Coating • Smooth Wall Finishing • Primer • Interior Painting
This modern Redmond loft required a premium Level 5 finish because of the extensive skylights, large windows, tall walls, and abundant natural light.
These conditions can reveal minor surface variations that may not be noticeable in a conventionally lit room. The walls and ceilings were carefully skim coated and prepared to create consistently smooth surfaces across the open interior.
The completed finish complements the exposed wood beams, glass railing, and modern architectural design without distracting from the home’s focal features.

8. Redmond Level 5 Smooth-Wall Finish
Skim Coating • Level 5 Drywall Finishing • Primer • Interior Painting
This Redmond project required exceptionally smooth wall and ceiling finishes to complement its modern architecture, large windows, recessed lighting, and natural wood accent wall.
The room’s daylight and minimalist design left little room for visible surface variation. The walls and ceilings were skim coated and prepared to create a uniform Level 5 finish before primer and paint were applied.

18. Seattle Remodel with Smooth Walls & Accent Finishes
Drywall Finishing • Smooth-Wall Preparation • Primer • Interior Painting
