Douglas County · Highlands Ranch, CO
Highlands Ranch is the master-planned community north of Castle Rock — tens of thousands of homes built mostly between the 1980s and 2000s. It's family-friendly, deeply suburban, and has more finishable basements per square mile than just about anywhere in the metro.
Drywall in Highlands Ranch
Two requests dominate here: finishing basements in homes that have been ready for it for a decade, and matching texture on repairs in homes old enough to have settled but not old enough to have plaster. We handle both daily — and finish the work with the texture and paint blend that makes a 30-year-old wall look intentional, not patched. That paint blend is the difference, and it comes through Wild Fox Painting.

A Few Local Questions
A lot of it. Highlands Ranch has one of the highest concentrations of unfinished basements in the metro — thousands of homes built from the '80s through the 2000s were sold with the downstairs left open. We hang, tape, texture, and finish that space to a paint-ready surface, matching the wall texture from your main floor so the finished basement reads like it was always part of the house.
Yes. Most Highlands Ranch homes from that era were finished in orange-peel or a light knockdown, and some of the original ceilings still carry popcorn. We match whichever texture your home was built with so an added wall or a repair blends in, then our sister team at Wild Fox Painting repaints the area so the patch disappears entirely. Two specialty teams, one coordinated handoff.
Usually it's normal settling. Homes here are now decades old and sit on Front Range clay soils that move seasonally, so hairline cracks reappear at door and window corners and along seams. We repair them with tape and joint compound so the fix flexes with the house instead of cracking straight back through a paint-only patch.
Yes — it's a common request in the older Northridge and Eastridge neighborhoods. We contain the room with plastic, scrape the popcorn, repair anything underneath, and refinish the ceiling smooth or in a modern texture while controlling the dust throughout. It's one of the fastest ways to bring a '90s Highlands Ranch home up to date.
