Cracks over doors on the west side
Older homes near the West 4th and 5th Street districts have settled for a century. Cracks at door and window corners need tape and setting compound, not a skim of spackle.
Loveland drywall repair
Drywall Repair in Loveland, CO
Loveland's housing runs from 1900s homes on the west side to 2020s builds by Centerra, and every era breaks in its own way. Fort Collins Drywall Pros repairs drywall across Loveland and has since 2011, from single doorknob holes to whole-house punch lists before a sale. Repair work makes up a big share of our 1,300-plus completed jobs, and Loveland is one of the towns we drive to most.
We fix walls and ceilings for Loveland homeowners, landlords turning over rentals, real estate agents prepping listings, and property managers with multifamily and commercial space. Our crews run Loveland on the same routes as south Fort Collins, 20 to 25 minutes down US 287. That means small repairs do not wait weeks just because the house is in another town, and punch lists before a closing can usually be finished in a single short week.
Every patch is matched to your existing texture, feathered so it does not show in window light, and primed for paint. In older west-side homes we repair plaster with materials that bond to it, and we follow lead-safe practices in pre-1978 houses. We hold a City of Loveland contractor license, and you get a written price before we start.
By neighborhood
The repairs Loveland calls us for most
Dented corner bead in mid-century homes
Ranches and split-levels near Lake Loveland often have original metal bead that cracks and dents. We cut it back and replace it with paper-faced bead.
Nail pops in newer east-side homes
Framing in newer homes near Centerra and Boyd Lake shrinks for the first few winters. We re-fasten with screws before we fill.
Rental turnover punch lists
Anchor holes, doorknob damage and dings across a whole unit, patched and primed in one or two visits between tenants.
Local rules
Rentals, multifamily and the Loveland license
The City of Loveland requires a contractor's license for structural, mechanical, electrical or plumbing work in rental homes, multifamily and non-residential buildings. Cosmetic patching rarely needs a permit, but repairs often come bundled with work that does.
We hold a Loveland contractor license, so landlords and property managers can hand us the whole job, including replacing damaged board in a fourplex or commercial suite, without checking whether we are allowed to be there.

- Units patched and primed between tenants

FAQ
Drywall Repair in Loveland: questions
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Have a different question? Call or send a photo with the quote form.
How much does drywall repair cost in Loveland?
It depends on how many repairs there are, their size, the texture and whether they are on walls or ceilings. Grouping repairs into one visit lowers the cost per patch. We quote in writing from photos.
Do you repair drywall in Loveland rentals?
Yes. We handle turnover punch lists for landlords and property managers and hold a City of Loveland contractor license for work in rentals and multifamily buildings.
Why do the same cracks come back in my older Loveland home?
The house keeps moving with the seasons, and a surface patch cannot flex. We re-tape with paper tape and setting compound, which holds up much better.
