Asbestos Removal
Littleton's housing stock tells a story of mid-century growth. Neighborhoods like Progress Park, Goddard, and Ketring Park were built during an era when asbestos was a standard construction material. Popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, pipe insulation, and even drywall joint compound in homes built before 1980 frequently contain asbestos fibers. When these materials deteriorate or are disturbed during renovation, they release microscopic fibers that pose serious respiratory health risks.
Atlas Contracting & Environmental Solutions (ACES) is the asbestos abatement contractor Littleton homeowners trust for safe, thorough removal. Our crews hold current CDPHE certifications and follow Regulation No. 8 protocols on every project, whether it involves a single bathroom ceiling or a whole-house pre-remodel abatement. We have completed hundreds of residential abatement projects across Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, and our team understands the specific building materials and construction methods common to Littleton's older subdivisions.
Whether you are planning a kitchen remodel on West Powers Avenue or preparing a home for sale near Gallup Park, ACES provides the certified asbestos removal Littleton homeowners need to move forward safely and legally. Our DUNS number (117517457) and CAGE code (62FR3) reflect our standing as a verified federal contractor, and our EPA Lead-Safe Certification (No. NAT-F222667) means we are qualified for projects involving multiple hazardous materials — a common scenario in Littleton's pre-1980 homes.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Expert removal of asbestos-containing popcorn (acoustic) ceilings throughout Littleton homes. Full containment barriers, negative air pressure, and wet-scraping techniques keep fibers from migrating to other rooms. Your family stays safe and your home stays clean.
Floor Tile & Mastic Abatement
Vinyl floor tiles and the black mastic adhesive beneath them are among the most common asbestos-containing materials in Littleton's older homes. ACES removes both the tile and the adhesive layer, preparing your subfloor for new finishes without cutting corners.
CDPHE Regulation No. 8 Compliance
Every ACES project in Littleton follows Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment Regulation No. 8 — from initial notification through final waste manifesting. We handle the state paperwork, permitting, and disposal documentation so you can focus on your renovation.
Third-Party Air Clearance
After abatement is complete, an independent laboratory performs air clearance testing using phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Your home is only cleared for re-entry once fiber counts fall below EPA and CDPHE thresholds.
Pipe & Duct Insulation
Basement utility rooms in Littleton's mid-century homes often contain asbestos pipe wrap and duct insulation. ACES technicians remove these materials using glove-bag and full-containment methods, depending on the scope. Every linear foot is double-bagged in 6-mil poly and manifested for approved hazmat landfill disposal.
Real Estate Documentation
Selling a Littleton home built before 1980? Colorado law requires disclosure of known asbestos-containing materials. ACES provides complete abatement documentation — waste manifests, air clearance reports, and before-and-after photo records — that satisfy buyer due diligence and protect your transaction.
Family-Safe Protocols
Homes with young children, newborns, or pets require extra precaution during any abatement project. ACES establishes critical barriers with negative air pressure, runs continuous HEPA filtration in adjacent living spaces, and performs real-time air monitoring to ensure zero cross-contamination during the active work phase.
Pre-Remodel Abatement
Planning a kitchen gut, bathroom renovation, or basement finish in your Littleton home? Asbestos testing and abatement must happen before your general contractor begins demolition. ACES offers competitive pricing for full-house abatement projects and works on your remodeling timeline to keep your project on schedule.
Renovation Safety
When you remodel a pre-1980 Littleton home, there is a high probability that demolition will disturb asbestos-containing materials. Colorado law requires that a certified abatement contractor handle the removal before general construction work begins. Attempting to skip this step risks fines, project shutdowns, and — most importantly — exposure to a known carcinogen.
ACES works directly with Littleton homeowners and their general contractors to sequence abatement into the renovation timeline. We provide clear scope documentation upfront, execute the work within the agreed schedule, and deliver air clearance results so your GC can mobilize without delay. Our EPA Lead-Safe Certification (No. NAT-F222667) further qualifies our team for projects involving both asbestos and lead paint — a common combination in older homes.
Many Littleton remodeling contractors now require written asbestos clearance before they will begin demolition on any home built before 1985. This protects them, their crew, and you from liability. ACES has established working relationships with general contractors throughout the Littleton area, and we coordinate directly with your builder to keep the project moving. From initial sampling to final clearance documentation, our goal is to eliminate delays and give your renovation team a clean, certified space to work in.
Atlas Contracting & Environmental Solutions brings over a decade of hazardous material remediation experience to Littleton's residential communities. Here is what sets our asbestos abatement work apart.

From initial inspection through final air clearance, every step of our Littleton asbestos abatement process is designed for safety, compliance, and transparency.
Our team inspects suspect materials throughout your Littleton home — ceilings, flooring, insulation, drywall compound — and collects bulk samples for certified laboratory analysis. Results typically return within 24–48 hours. We check every area that could be disturbed during your planned renovation, so there are no surprises once construction begins.
Based on lab results, we define the abatement scope, prepare a detailed work plan, and file the required CDPHE notification. For projects exceeding state trigger levels, we handle all permitting on your behalf. You receive a written scope of work with clear pricing before any abatement begins.
Critical barriers seal the work area. Negative air machines maintain pressure differential while HEPA-filtered exhaust prevents fiber migration. Our crews wet, remove, and double-bag all asbestos-containing materials in 6-mil poly for transport to an approved hazmat landfill. Throughout the process, we monitor air quality in adjacent living spaces to confirm zero fiber migration.
An independent third-party lab performs air monitoring and clearance testing. Once fiber counts confirm safe levels, we provide you with the full documentation package: clearance report, waste manifests, and project photos for your records and any future real estate transactions. This documentation satisfies Colorado disclosure requirements and protects your investment.
Knowing where asbestos hides in your Littleton home is the first step toward safe removal. These are the materials our team encounters most frequently in the area's pre-1980 housing stock.
Popcorn (Acoustic) Ceilings
Textured spray-on ceiling finishes applied between the 1950s and late 1970s frequently contain chrysotile asbestos. Scraping, sanding, or even water damage can release fibers into your living space. ACES uses wet-removal methods inside full containment to eliminate this hazard safely.
9×9 Vinyl Floor Tiles
The classic 9-inch square vinyl tiles found in kitchens, basements, and utility rooms of Littleton homes are a hallmark of asbestos-era construction. The tiles themselves and the black mastic adhesive beneath them both require certified abatement before replacement.
Pipe & Boiler Insulation
White or gray insulation wrapping heating pipes and boiler systems in basements is one of the highest-risk asbestos materials. When this insulation becomes friable — crumbling or damaged — it releases fibers readily. Professional glove-bag removal is the standard protocol.
Drywall Joint Compound
Joint compound (mud) used to tape and finish drywall seams in homes built through the mid-1970s often contains asbestos. This material is disturbed during any wall demolition or drywall repair, making pre-renovation testing essential for Littleton homeowners.

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.

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!!!
