Quality Drywall Work That Makes Your Home Feel Complete
Drywall may not be flashy, but it’s the backbone of every comfortable, finished home. When it’s cracked, water-stained, or poorly installed, you notice it every time you walk into the room. At J Allen Construction, we treat drywall work with the same care as a full remodel; because it makes all the difference in how your space feels.
Licensed, insured, and trusted across Northern Colorado, we’re the team your neighbors count on for clean, code-compliant drywall done right the first time.
What We Offer: Full Drywall Solutions for Your Home
No two drywall jobs are alike. Sometimes you’ve just got a small hole from a doorknob; other times, you’re finishing out a basement and need the whole package. We handle it all, including:
- Drywall Repairs – Holes, cracks, nail pops, and dents fixed so seamlessly you’ll forget they were ever there.
- New Drywall Installation – From basements and garages to remodels and additions, we hang, tape, and finish walls that are ready for paint.
- Texture Matching – Knockdown, orange peel, smooth finish; whatever you’ve got, we’ll blend repairs so the wall looks original.
- Ceiling Work – Popcorn removal, patching, and refinishing for a fresh, updated look.
- Water or Smoke Damage Restoration – Safe removal and replacement of compromised sections with proper priming.
- Painting & Finishing Touches – Because a drywall job isn’t complete until the surface is smooth and finished.
From the smallest patch to a whole-room install, we approach every project with the same goal: clean, durable walls that make your home look its best.
Why Choose Us: Local, Trusted, and Detail-Oriented
Drywall might seem simple until you live with a bad patch job or uneven seams staring back at you every day. That’s why choosing the right crew matters. Around Fort Collins, folks call us because we don’t cut corners, literally or figuratively.
We’re licensed, insured, and seasoned in the quirks of Northern Colorado homes. We know how quickly dry winter air can pull a seam apart or how basement moisture can sneak up on unprotected walls. Our team shows up prepared, protects your space, and delivers work we’re proud to put our name on.
Plenty of companies will “get it done.” We make sure it’s done right, whether that’s a smooth finish for your living room or a durable wall in your garage. It’s detail-oriented work with a neighborly touch, and it’s why so many families keep our number handy for their next project.
Our Process: Clear, Step-by-Step Work
We believe drywall projects shouldn’t be a guessing game. That’s why our process is built around clarity and respect for your home:
- Inspection & Estimate – We take a close look at the damage or project area, then give you an honest recommendation and a straightforward price.
- Preparation – Floors covered, furniture protected, dust barriers in place. We set the stage so the only thing we leave behind is a finished wall.
- Repair or Installation – From small patches to full sheets, we hang, tape, mud, and sand until the wall is sound and smooth.
- Texture & Finish – Matching existing textures is an art. We blend our work so the repair disappears, or give you a clean slate for painting.
- Walkthrough & Clean-Up – You’ll inspect the work with us before we pack up.
It’s a no-surprises process that keeps your project on track and your home livable while we work.
Homeowner’s Guide: Drywall Care & Local Requirements
Drywall holds up well when it’s done right, but like anything in your home, it needs a little attention over time. Here are a few things every Fort Collins homeowner should know:
- Seasonal Cracks – Our dry winters can pull moisture from the air and leave fine cracks along seams. A room humidifier often does wonders, and if cracks get worse, we can re-tape and finish them properly.
- Finish Levels Matter – Not all drywall finishes are equal. A garage wall might only need a basic Level 2 finish, while a living room or kitchen deserves Level 4 or 5 for a smooth, paint-ready look. We’ll guide you on what makes sense for each space.
- Code Compliance – In Fort Collins, drywall can’t go up until insulation and electrical inspections pass. Garages that connect to living spaces usually require fire-rated drywall by code. We handle the paperwork and build to spec so you don’t have to sweat it.
- Moisture Zones – Basements and bathrooms benefit from moisture-resistant boards that hold up to humidity. Skipping this step can lead to costly repairs later.
- When DIY Stops – Small nail pops? You can patch those. But sagging ceilings, water-damaged boards, or walls that need texture matching? That’s when it pays to bring us in.
We don’t just hang drywall; we make sure it lasts, looks right, and passes every inspection.

FAQ: Your Fort Collins Basement Remodel Questions
- Can you match my wall’s texture?
Yes. Whether it’s knockdown, orange peel, or a smooth finish, we’ve got the tools and know-how to make the patch blend right in. - Do you take on small drywall repairs?
We do. From a golf ball–sized hole to a whole sheet replacement, no job is too small for us to handle. - How long does a drywall installation take?

We prep with drop cloths and dust barriers, and we clean as we go. You’ll be left with fresh walls, not a cloud of drywall powder.

We used J Allen for a complete kitchen and master bath remodel and was extremely pleased with the finished products. Jerry and his team provided innovative suggestions in the design and the attention to detail and workmanship was outstanding. We are now using J Allen to build our new home!

I was working in Germany when we contracted J. Allen Construction to build our retirement home in Colorado. We selected J. Allen Construction due to their exceptional reputation for quality construction, professional integrity and commitment to maintain schedule. We knew that even though we weren't present to inspect construction, that Jerry Allen would build the house as if it was his own. Over the last 20 years J. Allen Construction has contacted us every year to inspect the house for necessary repairs or upgrades and used his quality construction crew and subs to perform any needed work. We highly recommend J. Allen Construction. Quality, Integrity, and Service are the fundamentals of this company.
