A 1977 median, two historic districts and plenty of rentals.
Laramie is the Albany County seat and home to about 31,400 people. Its median home was built in 1977, with 18.6% of houses from the 1970s and another 12.7% from the 1980s. A large share of Laramie ceilings were finished during the years when sprayed popcorn texture was the default.
The city also has Downtown and West Side historic districts, where older homes may have plaster ceilings or texture added in a remodel. Either way, we look before we scrape.
Turnovers for University of Wyoming rentals
With the University of Wyoming in town, a lot of Laramie housing is rented. Landlords tell us the same thing: popcorn ceilings make a unit look tired in listing photos, and they shed every time a tenant hangs something.
A turnover is the right moment to fix it. Our turnkey package covers scraping, skim coating, priming and ceiling painting, typically $3.75 to $5.75 per square foot. A 1,200 sq ft ranch done turnkey runs roughly $4,500 to $6,900. If you manage several units, we can quote each one separately so you can phase the work.

Testing, altitude and the drive west
For any ceiling likely applied before 1986, we arrange sample testing through an accredited lab before scraping. If asbestos is found, that portion of the project goes to a trained abatement contractor. Our asbestos testing page explains the steps.
At 7,165 feet the air is dry, so compound sets fast. We work in thin skim passes, which suits the climate. Typical pricing is on our cost guide.
Laramie is about 51 miles from Cheyenne on I-80. We serve it on scheduled trips rather than daily, so multi-day jobs are booked on consecutive days to keep your home disrupted for as short a time as possible.

Laramie FAQ
Rentals, altitude and permits.
Can you work between tenants on a Laramie rental?
Yes. A vacant unit is the easiest time to remove popcorn, because furniture is out and the work moves faster. Tell us your move-out and move-in dates when you request a quote. We schedule Laramie projects on set trip days, so the earlier we know your turnover window, the better we can plan around it.
Does the altitude in Laramie change how the ceiling is finished?
Laramie sits at 7,165 feet in a dry climate, and joint compound sets and dries quickly in that air. That is helpful between coats but unforgiving during them. We apply skim coats in thin, fast passes and sand between them, which gives a cleaner, more even result than one heavy coat.
Do I need a permit in Laramie or Albany County?
It depends on the scope and whether the home is inside city limits or in unincorporated Albany County. Cosmetic ceiling work may be handled differently from repairs that involve drywall replacement. We will confirm whether your project needs a permit and which office handles it before work is scheduled.
