Hillside homes below the arboretum with a lot of daylight basements: basement-finish hanging, plus moisture-related ceiling and wall repair on the lower, damper levels.
Sehome climbs the hill beside Western Washington University, below the Sehome Hill Arboretum, with views over the city and the bay. The old town of Sehome became part of downtown Bellingham, and the neighborhood today is a mix of early-century homes and mid-century builds, a lot of them stepped into the slope with daylight basements underneath.
Those daylight and walk-out basements are where most of our Sehome work lives. They're prime space to finish into a bedroom, office, or rental, so we hang and finish them to a Level 4, primed-ready, and where the lower level runs damp against the hillside we use moisture-resistant board instead of paper-faced rock. The lower, cooler levels also collect the moisture problems: ceiling stains under an upstairs bath, a wall that sweats against the grade, drywall that's gone soft at the base. We cut that out, find what's feeding it, and re-hang with the right board so it doesn't come back.
In Sehome, a single small patch starts around $150 and most drywall repairs run $200 to $1,200, while a full hang and finish is priced by the square foot of board, usually $2.25 to $4.50. Plaster repair on older Sehome walls runs from about $600 for a few cracks up to $6,000 for a full re-key or skim coat. The exact number depends on the size of the job, the texture to match, and the board the room needs. We give you a free, line-item quote before any work starts.
