Fox Farm-College is an unincorporated community of about 3,876 people in southeast Cheyenne. It runs from Fox Farm Road to College Drive, about half a mile south of I-80, and sits close to South Greeley and Sun Valley.
The housing mix here is different from most of Cheyenne. Manufactured homes are common alongside site-built houses, and that changes how we approach a ceiling job.
Manufactured-home ceilings: we assess first
Many manufactured homes don't have sprayed popcorn on drywall at all. Their ceilings are often factory panels, such as vinyl-covered gypsum or a textured board, with strips covering the seams. They can look like popcorn from the floor, but they are a different material, and scraping them the usual way may not be possible or worthwhile.
So before we give you a price, we confirm what's actually overhead. Some ceilings turn out to be standard drywall with texture, and the normal process applies. Others are panels, and the better answer may be repair, paint or another approach. Either way, we'll tell you plainly.
Site-built homes and testing
For drywall ceilings with true popcorn texture, the process matches the rest of Laramie County. On anything from before 1986, Cheyenne Popcorn Removal arranges sample testing through an accredited lab or inspector before scraping, starting from about $250. A positive result goes to a properly trained abatement contractor. Read the details on our asbestos testing page.
Typical ranges run from $1.50 to $2.75 per square foot for scrape and prep, up to $3.75 to $5.75 for turnkey with paint. Smaller jobs may have a minimum charge. See the full cost guide.
Since Fox Farm-College is unincorporated, we'll confirm with Laramie County Planning & Development whether your project needs a permit.

Fox Farm-College FAQ
Do manufactured homes have popcorn ceilings?
Some do, but many have a different ceiling altogether, such as vinyl-covered gypsum panels or a textured board with battens at the seams. Those panels are not scraped the way sprayed popcorn on drywall is. We look at the ceiling first and tell you what it is before recommending any work.
What are my options if my ceiling is panels instead of drywall?
It depends on the panel and its condition. Sometimes painting or repairing the existing panels is the sensible choice, and sometimes other updates make more sense. We'll assess the ceiling in person and explain what we can and can't do, so you're not paying for a scraping job that doesn't fit your home.
Who issues permits in Fox Farm-College?
Fox Farm-College is unincorporated, so Laramie County Planning & Development handles building questions rather than the City of Cheyenne. Manufactured homes can raise their own questions as well. We'll confirm whether your project needs a permit before any work is scheduled.
