Fire, Smoke and Soot Restoration in Denver
After the fire is out, smoke, soot and water from firefighting keep causing damage. We secure the property, clean and deodorize what can be saved and rebuild what cannot.
If anyone is in danger or you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 first.

Secure the property first
Openings are boarded and roofs tarped to keep out weather and intruders. Once the fire department releases the property, we assess damage room by room.
Clean the right way
Soot is acidic and can permanently stain surfaces if cleaned incorrectly. We use methods matched to the type of residue and surface, and treat odor at the source rather than masking it.
Plan the rebuild
Damage is documented with photos and a written scope for your insurer, then we rebuild with the same team that handled the cleanup.
Local knowledge
Fire and smoke in Colorado
Colorado's wildfire seasons can bring smoke damage to homes far from the fire itself, as Front Range communities have experienced. Residential kitchen fires and electrical fires remain common year-round.
