Artech Drywall Inc.

Washington's workers'-comp classes for Artech match its services closely: drywall installation and drywall taping, both insured by the square foot, alongside office and estimating staff. That last detail suggests jobs get measured and priced before crews show up. The state lists Dennis Miller and Dennis Goin as principals since 1992, and Penny Miller is also on the record. Work tends to come through referrals and repeat customers rather than advertising, which fits a business that has done one trade in one region for this long. Artech suits drywall work inside an existing house, such as a remodeled room, a finished basement or new wallboard after other trades have done their part. It is a finishing specialist, so framing, structural changes and the rest of a remodel belong with a general contractor or other trades, with Artech brought in for the walls and ceilings. Before comparing drywall quotes, write down the rooms and rough square footage, ceiling heights, and whether ceilings are included. Note the finish level you expect, smooth or textured, and whether texture has to match existing walls in an older Spokane-area home. Say who handles demolition, hauling and cleanup, and whether the price covers priming. Patch-and-repair work prices differently from full rooms, so separate those items. With the same list in every bidder's hands, the numbers can actually be compared.
