Johnstown drywall installation

Drywall Installation in Johnstown, CO

Johnstown's newest homes were built fast, and many owners are now adding the space the builder left out. Fort Collins Drywall Pros installs drywall in Johnstown homes and has hung and finished board across Northern Colorado since 2011. We draw on more than 1,300 completed jobs to make new walls match the house they are joining, so an addition never looks like an afterthought.

We install drywall for homeowners finishing garages and bonus rooms, adding sunrooms and additions, and converting spaces into offices or guest suites. We also work for remodelers and small custom builders in Thompson River Ranch, Pioneer Ridge and the older blocks near downtown Johnstown. Each project has to blend with a production builder's texture and corner style, which we match on purpose after checking a finished room in the house first.

Johnstown licenses every contractor who does permitted work in town, and it collects a use tax on materials at permit time. We handle our Town license up front and list material values clearly on the quote so the Town's 3.5% use tax is never a surprise. One crew handles your job from delivery to final sanding, with a written price up front, from our shop 25 to 30 minutes north.

Matching a production-built home

Builders like Richmond American, Lennar and D.R. Horton each have their own standard textures and finish levels. When we add to one of their homes, we match that texture and corner style so the new space looks like it came with the house.

Garage finishes need the fire separation the residential code requires between garage and home, including 5/8 in. Type X on the garage ceiling below a bonus room. We build it to pass inspection the first time.

  • Texture and corner style matched to the builder's finish
  • Code-compliant garage separation
  • Level 4 standard with Level 5 available
