Professional Standards
Atlas Contracting & Environmental Solutions operates as a fully licensed asbestos abatement contractor in Colorado. Our team follows CDPHE Regulation No. 8 protocols on every project—residential or commercial—ensuring that asbestos-containing materials are safely isolated, removed, and disposed of without exposing your home or building occupants to dangerous airborne fibers. Asbestos removal requires specialized knowledge and equipment, and we bring both to every job with unwavering precision.
We invest in state-of-the-art negative air pressure containment systems and industrial-grade HEPA filtration to create a sealed work environment. Our certified supervisors oversee every aspect: material identification, containment setup, safe removal, decontamination, and final air quality clearance testing. This rigorous approach protects your family, your property value, and your peace of mind. We take responsibility seriously because we know families are counting on us to do this right. When you see our crew on site, you'll see the difference—protective equipment, careful procedures, and meticulous attention to every detail.
Denver's unique building stock—with many homes built before the 1970s—means asbestos is common in insulation, drywall joints, roofing, and floor tiles. Entire neighborhoods in North Denver, Park Hill, Cheesman Park, Washington Park, and South Denver contain pre-1980s construction where asbestos is likely present. Our expertise in identifying and safely removing these materials—combined with our deep knowledge of Denver's housing history and regulatory environment—has made us the trusted choice for homeowners, property managers, real estate professionals, and insurance adjusters throughout the metro area and beyond. We've worked on hundreds of Denver homes and commercial properties, and we've earned a reputation as the professionals who get it done right.
Specialized Services
Denver homes and commercial buildings constructed before 1980 often contain asbestos in two common places: spray-applied popcorn ceilings and vinyl asbestos tiles (VAT) with mastic backing on floors. These materials are generally safe when undisturbed, but any renovation, demolition, or disturbance can release microscopic fibers into the air. Many older Denver homes, especially those in neighborhoods like Mayfair, North Park Hill, and University Park, feature the textured acoustic ceilings that became popular in the 1970s and 1980s.
Our popcorn ceiling removal process begins with non-destructive testing to confirm asbestos presence. If asbestos is identified, we carefully wet the material to suppress dust, then remove it under negative pressure containment. For floor tiles, we use specialized wetting agents and tools to prevent fiber release while removing both the tiles and the underlying mastic layer. The mastic— the adhesive that bonds tiles to the floor—often contains asbestos as well, so we extract it completely and safely.
Every project includes comprehensive pre- and post-removal air quality testing and a clearance report you can share with lenders, insurers, or future buyers. We provide detailed walkthroughs so you understand the containment process and what to expect during your project. Many Denver homeowners have us handle asbestos abatement as part of their kitchen or bathroom renovations before installing new flooring, and we work seamlessly with your contractor to keep the schedule on track.
Why Atlas Contracting
Choosing the right contractor to handle asbestos in your Denver home or business is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a property owner. Asbestos removal isn't a service where you can afford to compromise—the consequences of improper handling can affect your family's health and your property's value for decades. We don't just meet regulatory minimums; we exceed them because your family's safety is more important than cost cutting.
We don't cut corners on containment. Every ACES abatement project uses negative air pressure isolation chambers, HEPA filtration systems that capture 99.97% of airborne particles, and rigorous decontamination protocols. Our crews work in full protective equipment and follow procedures that exceed regulatory minimums. Your family's safety—and the safety of everyone in your building—is never at risk because we took shortcuts. We invest in the best equipment because it's the right thing to do.
You'll receive a complete project file including pre-removal testing, containment documentation, post-removal air quality clearance testing, and disposal records. This documentation protects you with lenders, insurance companies, and future buyers. Many Denver homeowners use our clearance certificates as part of the closing process when selling—it proves the asbestos was handled properly and increases buyer confidence. Your paperwork is your peace of mind.
We work in your neighborhood. We're not a national franchise that will disappear after the job is done. We build our reputation on every single project we complete in the Denver metro area. If a question comes up a year after your abatement, you can reach us directly. That local accountability matters when you're dealing with environmental health. Your neighbors probably know someone who has worked with us—ask around.
Many Denver homeowners discover asbestos during a renovation or remodel. We coordinate with your contractor to sequence the work efficiently. Asbestos abatement often needs to happen first, and we'll make sure your timeline stays on track so you can move forward with your kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home project without delays. We communicate regularly with your contractor so everyone knows what's happening and when.

Client Testimonials
Read real experiences from Denver-area clients who trusted ACES with their asbestos abatement projects.
"This is an honest place. There are so many disreputable companies out there in this industry, but Atlas is not one of them. Quick work, proper abatement to prevent contamination, and friendly service all come with the fairly priced Atlas contract. Nobody wants to have this work done because it usually means things have gone sideways in your home. That said, if you do, call Atlas Contracting and Environmental Solutions; the company is ACES!!!"

"We had a roof leak in our kitchen caused by a roofer. Rob came out right away and assessed the issue and worked with myself and the roofer. That day he had made a plan for how the job would go, and began setting up equipment to keep my family safe. He walked me through every step of how the job would go and kept my husband and I informed throughout the process. He made sure that the toddler and newborn in my home would be safe throughout the entire demo process. I cannot recommend this company enough."

Learn more about our asbestos abatement process, costs, and regulations in Denver.
Asbestos abatement pricing in Denver varies significantly based on material classification and project scope. Friable materials (loose, crumbly) typically cost more to remove safely than non-friable (bonded) materials like floor tiles or vinyl asbestos tiles. We offer volume discounts for whole-home projects, and our pricing accounts for Denver's local hazardous waste disposal fees and regulatory compliance costs. Contact us for a detailed site-specific estimate.
Popcorn ceiling removal costs depend on room size, ceiling height, and underlying substrate condition. A typical bedroom might range from $800–$1,500, while larger living areas could run $2,000–$4,000 or more. Our pricing includes containment setup, safe removal, HEPA vacuuming, final cleanup, and air quality testing. We always provide a detailed quote before work begins so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our supervisors and workers hold Colorado state certifications for asbestos abatement. We maintain full compliance with CDPHE Regulation No. 8, hold EPA Lead-Safe Certification (No. NAT-F222667), and carry liability insurance specific to environmental hazards. We're also registered with the EPA for asbestos-containing material disposal and transport.
A typical residential asbestos abatement follows this timeline: Day 1 involves containment setup and negative air system installation. Days 2–3 focus on material removal and decontamination (longer for larger projects). Final air clearance testing and inspection occur after cleanup is complete. Most single-family homes finish within 3–5 working days depending on project size.
Yes, you and your family should vacate during the removal process. Our containment systems use negative air pressure and HEPA filtration to prevent fiber migration, but it's safest for everyone—especially children and pets—to stay elsewhere until clearance testing confirms safety. We provide a detailed timeline so you can plan accordingly with friends or temporary housing.
Colorado law and Denver building codes generally require testing before demolition or disturbance of pre-1980s materials. Testing protects you from legal liability and ensures proper disposal protocols. We can perform non-destructive sampling or air quality testing to determine if asbestos is present before any renovation work begins. Getting tested early prevents costly delays.
Colorado law prohibits do-it-yourself asbestos removal for most situations. Disturbing asbestos materials releases microscopic fibers that cause serious lung diseases including mesothelioma and asbestosis. Commercial and multi-family properties require licensed contractors by law. Even residential projects benefit greatly from professional containment and disposal. It's not worth the health and legal risk.
We follow EPA protocols: materials are double-bagged in 6-mil polyethylene and labeled with warning signs. All waste is transported to EPA-licensed hazardous waste facilities in the Denver area. You receive documentation of proper disposal and can request records for your property file or insurance claims. This documentation is often required by lenders and buyers.
