The 1970s neighborhood on Cheyenne's south side
South Greeley is an unincorporated community of about 4,733 people on Cheyenne's south side, along US 85 (the South Greeley Highway) and College Drive. Its median home was built in 1989, but that number hides how much of the housing came from one decade: 31.4% of homes were built in the 1970s.
That is a higher share of 1970s housing than in Cheyenne itself, where the figure is 15.3%. For homeowners it means one thing. If your ceiling looks like cottage cheese and you've never had it checked, plan on testing first.
How a South Greeley project usually runs
Free estimate
You send room sizes and photos. We reply with questions, usually the same day, then a written quote.
Sample testing
For ceilings older than 1986, we arrange testing through an accredited lab or inspector, from about $250. A positive result goes to a trained abatement contractor. See asbestos testing.
Containment and scraping
Floors and walls get plastic, the texture is misted and scraped, and debris is bagged inside the work area.
Finish and cleanup
We skim coat and prime for a smooth finish, or apply new texture, then take down the plastic and clean up.
Near LCCC: rentals and first homes
Laramie County Community College is right nearby, and the area draws both rental owners and first-time buyers. Landlords often want the lowest-cost fix between tenants, while new owners tend to go for a smooth, painted ceiling before they move furniture in.
As typical ranges, scrape and prep runs $1.50 to $2.75 per square foot, and turnkey with paint runs $3.75 to $5.75. If the popcorn has been painted, which is common in older rentals, add about 25%. The cost guide walks through the math.
Because South Greeley is outside city limits, we'll confirm with Laramie County Planning & Development whether your project needs a permit.

South Greeley questions
Why do so many South Greeley homes have popcorn ceilings?
About 31.4% of homes in South Greeley were built in the 1970s, when sprayed acoustic texture was a standard ceiling finish in new construction. Unless a later owner has already scraped them, many of those ceilings are still original. That decade is also why we recommend sample testing before any work begins.
Is my South Greeley rental worth updating?
Owners near Laramie County Community College often weigh this. A smooth or freshly textured ceiling makes a dated unit look cleaner in listing photos, and scrape-and-prep is the lowest-cost package at a typical $1.50 to $2.75 per square foot. We can schedule around a vacancy so the unit is ready for the next tenant.
Does the county or the city handle permits here?
South Greeley is unincorporated, so permit questions go to Laramie County Planning & Development, not the City of Cheyenne. Whether your ceiling work needs a permit depends on the scope. We'll confirm whether your project needs one before work starts and keep you informed.
