A young median age for its homes, with a large older layer underneath.
Fort Collins is the Larimer County seat and a city of nearly 170,000. On paper its housing is young, with a median build year of 1992. That number hides a big older layer: around 23,000 homes date from the 1970s and 1980s (15.4% and 15.0%).
The growth came fast. Fort Collins went from about 25,000 residents in 1960 to more than 43,000 by 1970, and the neighborhoods built for that expansion went up when sprayed popcorn texture was standard. If your home dates from those decades, it is worth checking.
Colorado requirements come first
Crossing the state line changes the paperwork.
Colorado regulates residential asbestos more strictly than Wyoming, so we will confirm requirements for your Fort Collins home before any work. We do not assume that what applies in Cheyenne applies here.
Testing is part of every older-ceiling project we take on. For texture likely applied before 1986, we arrange sample testing through an accredited lab or inspector before scraping. If a sample is positive, that work goes to a properly trained abatement contractor. Our asbestos testing page explains the process.
Permits inside city limits go through the City of Fort Collins. We will confirm whether your project needs one before it is scheduled.

Fort Collins questions
Rules, permits and rentals in Northern Colorado.
Do asbestos rules differ in Fort Collins compared with Cheyenne?
Yes. Colorado regulates residential asbestos more strictly than Wyoming, so requirements for a Fort Collins home can differ from what applies across the state line. We will confirm what applies to your project before any work is scheduled, and we arrange sample testing through an accredited lab before scraping older texture.
Who handles permits for a Fort Collins ceiling project?
For homes inside city limits, permits go through the City of Fort Collins. Whether your specific project needs one depends on its scope. We will confirm the requirements with you before scheduling, so you know exactly what applies before any scraping or drywall work begins.
Can you update ceilings in a CSU rental between leases?
Yes. A vacant unit is the simplest time for popcorn removal, and our turnkey package covers scraping, skim coating, priming and painting. Share your lease dates when you request a quote. Because we serve Fort Collins on scheduled trips, early notice helps us fit your turnover window.
