Serving Wellington, Colorado
Drywall Contractor in Wellington, CO
Wellington is the first town north of Fort Collins on I-25, and in twenty years it has filled in with subdivisions full of young families and unfinished basements. Fort Collins Drywall Pros has served Wellington homeowners since 2011. We finish basements, repair walls and ceilings, and hang new drywall for additions and remodels across town and on the rural properties around it, from Park Meadows and Sage Meadows to the farms and shops outside town limits.
Most of our Wellington work is for homeowners who bought a new or nearly new house and are ready to add living space downstairs. We also work for landlords, remodelers and builders. And we fix the nail pops, tape cracks and corner cracks that show up as a new house dries out and settles through its first few winters of dry heat and cold wind.
Wellington licenses every contractor and subcontractor who works in town, which we explain below. We handle our Town license and insurance certificate before a job starts, so your permit is never waiting on us. We are fully insured, and we bring the lessons from more than 1,300 completed drywall jobs to each Wellington basement and repair, with every price in writing before we start.
Local regulations
Wellington licenses every contractor and sub
The Town of Wellington requires all contractors and subcontractors to hold a current Town contractor license before working on residential or commercial property. Licensing and permits both run through the Town's Community Core online portal, and the application requires a certificate of liability insurance naming the Town of Wellington as certificate holder.
That rule covers drywall subcontractors too, not just the general contractor. If you are finishing your own basement and hiring trades directly, each one needs a Wellington license before your permit can move forward.
Basement finishes need a building permit and inspections for framing, electrical, plumbing and insulation before drywall. We handle our licensing and insurance paperwork up front, then hang board after your inspections pass.

Local housing
Wellington neighborhoods and what their walls need
Park Meadows
Building in Park Meadows began in 2006 and continued for about a decade, with homes from roughly 1,200 to 3,400 livable sq ft by several builders. Many of the basements are only now being finished.
Sage Meadows
An established neighborhood with a pool, clubhouse and trails, where many homes were sold with full unfinished basements. That makes it one of our busiest Wellington streets for basement drywall.
Older Wellington along Cleveland Avenue
The original town grid near Cleveland Avenue has older homes, some with plaster or early drywall and decades of patching. These need careful texture matching so repairs blend.
Rural properties around town
Farmhouses, shops and outbuildings outside town limits fall under Larimer County permits and licensing, which we also hold.
Local conditions
Wind, cold and pipes on the north end
Wellington sits on open ground north of Fort Collins, and winter wind drives cold into exterior walls, garages and crawlspaces. When temperatures drop well below zero, pipes in those spots can freeze and split, and the first sign is often a stain or bulge in the drywall.
Our water damage drywall repair starts with confirming the leak is fixed and the wall is dry. Then we replace the damaged board, add insulation where it was missing and match the finish.
