We are the leader in floor underlayment and leveling.
Gypcrete/Lightweight Concrete Repair
Gypcrete from before the turn of the century was notorious for being soft. Over time these underlayments can crack and gouge, making it difficult to install new flooring. ColoradoCrete is experienced in repairing these floors to make them look like new. All of our repair products are listed in over 100 different UL listings, ensuring the owner will not violate fire code in their repairs.

Gypcrete & Lightweight Concrete Repair Services
A strong, level, and code-compliant underlayment is essential for long-lasting flooring performance. Many buildings constructed before the turn of the century were built with early generations of gypcrete flooring that, while innovative at the time, are now known for being soft, brittle, and prone to deterioration. Over decades of use, these surfaces often crack, gouge, or crumble under foot traffic, making new flooring installation difficult or impossible without professional repair.
ColoradoCrete specializes in restoring and repairing aging gypcrete and lightweight concrete systems, transforming worn underlayments into durable, smooth, and reliable foundations ready for modern flooring. With decades of experience, advanced equipment, and a commitment to fire-code compliance, we deliver repair solutions that protect both your investment and your building’s safety requirements.
Understanding the Challenges of Older Gypcrete Flooring
Early gypcrete installations were commonly used in multi-family housing, condominiums, and commercial buildings for their fire resistance and sound-dampening qualities. However, older formulations of lightweight concrete lacked the strength and durability found in today’s advanced materials. Over time, moisture exposure, structural movement, and daily wear can cause these underlayments to deteriorate.
Common issues include surface cracking, deep gouges, uneven areas, and powdery breakdown that compromises adhesion for new flooring materials. Without proper repair, these conditions can lead to flooring failure, uneven finishes, and costly rework. ColoradoCrete addresses these issues with proven repair systems designed to reinforce and restore existing light concrete surfaces.
Code-Compliant Repairs You Can Trust
One of the most critical concerns when repairing gypcrete is maintaining compliance with fire and building codes. Improper repairs or unapproved materials can jeopardize UL assemblies and place property owners at risk of violations.
All of ColoradoCrete’s repair products are listed in over 100 different UL assemblies. This ensures that repairs preserve the original fire-rated design of the building and meet applicable code requirements. Our team understands the importance of documentation, specifications, and compliance, giving property owners, builders, and facility managers peace of mind throughout the repair process.
A Team Built on Experience and Integrity
ColoradoCrete has assembled a team with more than 70 years of combined industry experience. That depth of knowledge allows us to assess existing gypcrete flooring conditions accurately and recommend the most effective repair strategy for each project.
As a local, family-owned and operated company, we take pride in building long-term relationships with our clients. Our approach is rooted in transparency, education, and trust. We believe informed clients make better decisions, and we are committed to providing clear guidance on materials, timelines, and outcomes at every stage of the project.

ColoradoCrete proudly serves clients across Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas. Our regional expertise allows us to address the unique environmental and structural challenges found throughout these areas, from high-altitude construction considerations to large-scale commercial developments.
By combining competitive pricing with consistent quality, we earn repeat business from contractors, developers, and property managers who value dependable results. Our goal is not just to complete a project, but to become a trusted partner for future flooring and underlayment needs.
Advanced Equipment for Large-Scale Precision
Repairing gypcrete and lightweight concrete requires more than experience—it demands precision equipment capable of delivering consistent results. ColoradoCrete utilizes sophisticated leveling systems that allow for up to 20,000 square feet of uniform coverage in a single application.
Our process ensures level, even surfaces that meet flooring manufacturer tolerances, whether the final finish is tile, hardwood, vinyl, or carpet. Rapid drying times minimize downtime, allowing other trades to stay on schedule and projects to move forward efficiently.
High-Performance Materials Designed to Last
ColoradoCrete uses a proprietary blend of gypsum and Portland cement underlayments engineered for strength, durability, and speed of installation. These materials provide a solid foundation for new flooring systems while maintaining the lightweight properties that make gypcrete and light concrete ideal for multi-story construction.
With compression strengths exceeding 4,500 psi, our systems outperform many older underlayments while offering excellent sound control and thermal insulation. The result is a repaired surface that resists future wear, absorbs impact, and supports modern flooring demands for years to come.
Precision Through Laser Leveling
Precision is one of the most fundamental elements of any successful underlayment repair. ColoradoCrete’s crews are extensively trained in laser leveling and advanced measurement techniques to ensure exact thickness, consistent elevation, and seamless transitions throughout the space.
By taking extra care during the initial phases of each project, we eliminate common issues such as uneven flooring, lippage, and premature material failure. This attention to detail reduces the need for future maintenance and helps ensure a smooth flooring installation the first time.
A Reliable Foundation for the Future
Whether you are preparing an older building for renovation or correcting underlayment failures before new flooring installation, ColoradoCrete delivers dependable gypcrete and lightweight concrete repair solutions tailored to your project’s needs. Our combination of experience, code-compliant materials, advanced equipment, and precision installation sets us apart as a leader in gypcrete flooring repair.
