Cruz Construction.

The state lists Michelle Soto and Jose Cruz Bustamante as principals since 2023, the same year the business was formed. Its registered specialty is drywall, and the work mix stays close to that: new board in remodeled rooms, taping and finishing, and repair work where walls and ceilings have been opened up. Cruz Construction travels roughly 25 miles from its base, which covers Spokane, Liberty Lake, Mead, Cheney and Airway Heights. The fit is interior work. A kitchen or basement remodel that needs new drywall hung and finished, a patch-and-repair job after plumbing or electrical work, or a renovation crew that needs drywall labor are all squarely in its lane. Framing for new construction falls outside the drywall and remodeling focus of its specialties. Because so much of the work runs trade to trade, homeowners may find Cruz on a job through their general contractor rather than booking it directly. Spokane's housing stock makes drywall work less uniform than it sounds. Older homes on the South Hill and in neighborhoods near downtown often have plaster and lath, and patching into those walls or skimming over them takes a different approach than finishing new board. Mid-century houses can have textured ceilings worth testing for asbestos before anyone sands or cuts. Newer builds in Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake are mostly standard drywall, where the questions are finish level, texture matching and moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and basements.
