Drywall installation for new construction and remodels in Longview, WA
Drywall installation is the core of what we do. For new construction projects in and around Longview, WA, our crew handles the complete install: hanging boards, taping seams, applying joint compound through multiple coats, and finishing with your chosen texture. We coordinate directly with builders and general contractors to stay on schedule and pass inspection on the first walkthrough.
For remodels in older Longview, WA homes, drywall installation gets more involved. You're often working around existing finishes, matching wall heights that weren't designed to align, and blending new drywall into surfaces with decades of paint and texture on them. We take the time to get those transitions right so the finished room looks like it was always there, not like it was bolted on after the fact.

Drywall repair is one of our most common projects in Longview, WA. The city's older housing stock means there's plenty of work: cracks from foundation settling, water damage from aging roofs, holes left behind after plumbing or electrical updates, and walls that have simply taken a beating over the decades. The repair itself is usually straightforward. The hard part is making it invisible.
Texture matching is where drywall repair jobs either succeed or fail. If the new texture doesn't match the existing wall, the patch is obvious forever. Our crew identifies your existing wall texture (knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth, or something more custom from an earlier era) and matches the pattern, depth, and thickness precisely. We blend the edges so the drywall repair disappears into the surrounding wall. Longview, WA homes sometimes have textures you don't see in newer construction, and we have the experience to replicate them.

Hand texture and wall finishing in Longview, WA
Wall texture quietly defines how a room feels. A smooth finish reads modern and minimal. Knockdown adds depth without being heavy. Skip trowel brings warmth and dimension. Orange peel is classic and forgiving. We apply all of these by hand, not with a spray rig, which gives us better control over the pattern, depth, and consistency across your walls and ceilings.
For Longview, WA homeowners doing remodels, texture matching on existing walls is critical. Many homes in the area have textures that were applied decades ago, sometimes by hand, sometimes with techniques that aren't common anymore. We identify what you have, match it carefully, and blend the new texture into the old so there's no visible line between original drywall and new work.

Drywall work for every type of Longview, WA project
Longview, WA's mix of historic housing stock and newer development means we see a wide range of drywall projects. Older homes near the city center need careful repair and renovation work. Newer homes on the outskirts need clean, fast drywall installation. Here's how we handle both.
Renovation and repair in older Longview, WA homes
Longview, WA was founded in the 1920s as a planned city for the timber industry, and much of the original housing stock still stands. These are well-built homes, but after decades of use, the walls show their age. Settling cracks that follow stud lines. Water stains from roofing issues that went a season too long. Popcorn ceilings from a 1970s update that looked modern at the time. Walls with plaster-over-lath in the original sections and drywall in later additions. It all needs attention.
Drywall repair and popcorn ceiling removal are two of our most common Longview, WA projects. We also see homeowners opening up floor plans, removing walls between kitchens and living rooms, which means patching the ceiling where the wall used to be and matching the texture across the entire surface so you can't tell anything changed.
Working in older homes requires patience. The framing isn't always plumb, the existing textures aren't always standard, and you can't just rip things out without thinking about what's behind the wall. We approach renovation work methodically. We assess what's there, plan the transitions, and execute the drywall repair or installation so the finished product looks intentional, not improvised.
New construction drywall in Cowlitz County, WA
New construction drywall installation is the other side of our Longview, WA work. As the area grows, new homes and commercial spaces need drywall crews who can keep up with construction timelines. Our crew handles board layout, hanging, taping, mudding, and texture application, covering the full drywall installation from bare framing to finished walls ready for paint.
We've built our process working with Clark County, WA builders on everything from 1,200-square-foot starters to 4,000-square-foot custom builds. Vaulted ceilings, open floor plans, multi-story entryways, soffits, recessed lighting layouts: our crew brings that same experience to every new construction project in Cowlitz County, WA.
If your new build also needs insulation installed before the drywall goes up, we handle that too. Batt, blown-in, and Rockwool. Having one crew manage insulation and drywall installation keeps the project on schedule and eliminates the gap between trades.

You deal with one team from start to finish, and that consistency shows in the final result, especially on repair jobs where blending matters.

Longview, WA drywall FAQ
Questions we hear from Longview, WA homeowners and Cowlitz County, WA contractors. If your question isn't here, call us at (360) 904-3878 or reach out through our contact page.
You're based in Battle Ground, WA. Do you really come all the way to Longview, WA?
We do. Longview, WA is about 45 to 50 minutes south of our shop via I-5, and we have enough work in the Cowlitz County, WA area to make the trip regularly. We schedule Longview, WA projects so we can batch our time there efficiently, not making a rushed day trip. When we're on your project, we're fully committed to it. The drive is longer than our Clark County, WA jobs, but the quality of work is identical.
My home in Longview, WA is from the 1940s. Can you work with older plaster walls?
Absolutely. A lot of the older Longview, WA homes, especially in the planned-city neighborhoods near Civic Circle and along the original grid, have plaster walls or plaster-over-lath. We know how to work around those materials, whether that means repairing the existing plaster, transitioning sections to drywall where it makes sense, or matching adjacent textures so the old and new blend together. We won't push you into tearing out more than you need to.
Do you also serve Kelso, WA and other nearby towns?
Yes. Kelso, WA is right next to Longview, WA, and we serve both cities. We also cover Woodland, WA, Kalama, WA, Castle Rock, WA, and other communities in the Cowlitz County, WA area. If you're in the region and need drywall work, call us and we'll let you know if we can make it work for your project.
Does the longer drive mean higher prices for Longview, WA projects?
Not significantly. Our pricing is based on the scope of the work: square footage, complexity, texture type, ceiling height, and whether it's new construction or a remodel. The drive adds a small amount of overhead, but we don't inflate the price just because you're in Cowlitz County, WA instead of Clark County, WA. We give you a written estimate before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
How much does drywall installation cost in Longview, WA?
Every project is different. Cost depends on the number of rooms, ceiling height, square footage, texture choice, and whether we're working with new framing or existing walls. We don't give ballpark numbers over the phone because they're almost always wrong. We come out, measure the space, assess the scope, and give you an honest written estimate. The estimate is free.
Can you match the texture on my existing walls during a repair?
Yes, and this is one of the things we take the most seriously. Texture matching is the difference between a drywall repair that disappears and one that sticks out every time you look at the wall. We identify your existing texture (knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth, or something older and more custom), match the pattern and depth, and blend the edges carefully. Older Longview, WA homes sometimes have textures that aren't standard anymore, and we have the experience to replicate them.
