Serving Berthoud, Colorado

Drywall Contractor in Berthoud, CO

Berthoud has held on to its small-town Main Street feel while some of the most ambitious custom homes in Northern Colorado went up around it. Fort Collins Drywall Pros has worked in Berthoud since 2011, and it is our southernmost regular town along US 287. We handle everything from a patched plaster wall near Mountain Avenue to Level 5 finishes in brand-new custom homes.

Our Berthoud customers include custom home builders and owners at Heron Lakes, families finishing basements in newer neighborhoods like Prairie Star, and owners of older homes near downtown. We also do additions, remodels and repairs across the rural areas around town. Many projects include a quiet media room or office, which is a common request in Berthoud's larger homes, along with smooth Level 5 walls in great rooms that face the foothills and catch the low afternoon sun.

Berthoud requires contractors to be licensed with the Town before permits are issued, and it asks for proof of code testing that many towns do not. We are fully insured, and our quotes are written, itemized and backed by more than 1,300 completed drywall jobs. We schedule Berthoud work together with our Loveland routes to keep it efficient.

Local regulations

Berthoud's contractor license and permits

The Town of Berthoud requires contractors to be licensed with the Town before applying for a building permit. Applicants show an ICC certificate for the license type, or a license from a jurisdiction that required ICC testing, with test results from the 2018 code cycle or newer.

The license also requires liability insurance naming the Town of Berthoud as certificate holder and a signed acknowledgement memorandum, and it renews every year. Plan review and inspections for Berthoud are handled through the Town's Building Department.

For homeowners, that means asking any contractor for their Berthoud license before a permitted project starts. Custom homes and basement finishes both need permits, and drywall comes after framing and insulation inspections pass.

Local knowledge

High-end work

Custom homes need custom-level finishing

In a custom home with two-story great rooms, arched openings and wide west-facing glass, the drywall is part of the design. Low afternoon sun off the foothills rakes across the walls and shows every ridge a standard finish leaves behind.

For these homes we plan board layout to avoid butt joints on feature walls, hang with lifts and scaffolding, and quote Level 5 where light and paint demand it. We also build quiet media rooms and offices, which are common requests in Berthoud's larger homes.

  • Board layout planned around feature walls and openings
  • Level 5 skim coats for smooth walls under raking light
  • Soundproofed theaters, offices and bedrooms

Historic core

Older Berthoud homes: repair, not replace

Settled walls and cracks

A century of movement shows as cracks over doors and windows. Proper drywall repair with setting compound holds far longer than surface patching.

Matching old textures

Hand-applied textures from past remodels are hard to copy. We use texture matching on scrap board first so the patch blends.

Additions on old houses

New drywall installation in an addition has to meet old walls that are rarely flat. We feather the transition so it reads as one room.
