Drywall Repair and Texture in Golden, CO
Golden works a little differently from most of the suburbs on this site: rather than covering the whole city, we focus on its newer construction — existing homes, new custom builds, and newer apartment and commercial buildings. Close to half of Golden's housing dates from before 1980, when asbestos was a routine part of drywall and texture materials, so that older half stays outside what we take on. Tell us the year a home or building went up, along with some photos of the damage, and we'll quote the job the same way we quote anywhere else we work.

Taping and texture in Golden: new drywall and retextures
Apex is a taping and texture contractor as well as a repair shop. In Golden that means taping and finishing new drywall and spraying knockdown or orange peel over it for builders and contractors, a new texture over the old one for homes, apartments, hotels, offices and warehouses, and hand textures or Level 5 when the finish is the point. Taping or texture on its own, or primed and painted.

Golden homes: newer construction next to a historic core
The City of Golden traces back to 1859, when gold-rush prospectors camped along Clear Creek; the town incorporated in 1871 and is now the seat of Jefferson County, home to the Colorado School of Mines. About 57% of Golden's housing was built in 1980 or later, which means close to half the city's homes predate that year (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates). We take on the newer half of that split: existing homes, new custom builds, and newer apartment and commercial buildings. The older half runs a real risk of asbestos in its original drywall and texture, so that work stays outside what we do here.
New construction keeps adding to that newer half: Golden's housing stock grew by roughly 774 units between the 2010 and 2020 census counts, and custom homes continue to go up on hillside lots around North Table Mountain and elsewhere in town. For a new custom build, our part starts once the framing and taping are done: a whole-home Level 5 smooth finish or hand-trowel texture, covered in more detail on custom homes and hand-trowel texture. For an existing newer home, we're patching holes, doorknob dents, and the cutouts a plumber, electrician or HVAC tech leaves behind, then matching whatever texture is already on the wall.
Golden has newer apartment buildings and commercial space as well as homes, and we take on that work too — see business customers for how apartment communities, property managers and commercial customers are quoted.

Golden drywall repair questions
Does Apex work anywhere in Golden, or only in certain parts of the city?
We work throughout Golden, but only on the newer side of its housing stock: existing homes, new custom builds, and newer apartment and commercial buildings. Tell us the year built along with your photos, and we'll confirm the job is in scope.
Why does Apex ask when a Golden home or building went up?
Materials from before 1980 often carried asbestos, so an older building brings real risk in its drywall and texture. Golden has a lot of housing from exactly that era, which makes the build year one of the first things we ask.
Do you finish new custom-home builds in Golden?
Yes. Once the drywall is hung, we can tape it and handle the whole-home finish on a new custom build — a Level 5 smooth coat or hand-trowel texture, built to match what the designer or builder has planned.
Do you work on apartment buildings or commercial space in Golden?
Yes, as long as the building is newer construction. See business customers for how apartment communities, property managers and commercial customers get quoted.
I'm not sure exactly when my Golden home was built. What should I do?
A rough answer is fine to start; check your closing paperwork or the county assessor's records if you want to be precise. We'll confirm the scope once we have a year to work from.
Do I need to be home for the repair?
Only if you want to be. You're free to stay, or to run your errands while the repair gets done. If you'd rather be out, leave a lockbox code or the door unlocked. You get a text when we're on the way, and when the repair is done, we clean up and, if you're out, lock up.
Why do you ask what year my home was built?
Homes built before 1980 are likely to contain asbestos in the wall texture or joint compound. We don't work on homes built with asbestos materials, so the year tells us whether we can take the job. Not sure of the year? Send the photos anyway and we'll check.
