Asbestos Removal in Denver, CO

Asbestos was used in thousands of Denver-area building products until the late 1980s — vinyl flooring, popcorn ceilings, drywall joint compound, pipe insulation, HVAC duct wrap, and cement siding all routinely test positive in homes built before 1990. Disturbing those materials during a remodel, demo, or even a routine repair can release microscopic fibers into the air, where they remain a long-term health risk to anyone in the building.

Colorado law takes this seriously. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) requires that any asbestos work over a regulated threshold be performed by a CDPHE-certified General Abatement Contractor, with proper notifications filed 10 working days before work begins. Homeowners doing their own remodel are not exempt from the testing requirement — and getting caught disturbing asbestos without a permit can mean stop-work orders, fines, and uninsurable property damage.

Our Denver crews handle the full process: CDPHE-licensed inspection, accredited lab analysis, permit filings, full-containment removal with HEPA-filtered negative air, and post-abatement air clearance testing. You get one phone call, one quote, and one folder of documentation at the end — ready for buyers, lenders, contractors, or inspectors.

The most common job we get called for in Denver is popcorn-ceiling removal in homes built between 1950 and 1985. Those textured ceilings almost always contain chrysotile asbestos and cannot be safely scraped or sanded without containment. We're also frequently on-site for pre-renovation surveys in mid-century bungalows, pre-demolition surveys for new builds and scrapes, pipe and boiler insulation removal in basements and crawl spaces, and asbestos floor-tile and mastic removal during kitchen remodels.

On the commercial side, we handle pre-renovation and pre-demolition surveys for office buildings along the I-25 corridor, retail and restaurant tenant improvements in LoDo and RiNo, multifamily renovations across the metro, and AHERA inspections for Denver-area schools.
