Full-Service Fire Recovery
Emergency Fire & Smoke Mitigation
After a fire, the property often has overlapping problems — char, smoke residue, persistent odor, water from suppression efforts, structural compromise, and sometimes regulated material issues like asbestos or lead paint disturbed by the heat. Atlas is built for that complexity.
Smoke & Soot Remediation
Protein residue, synthetic soot, and wood char each require different cleaning chemistry. Atlas identifies the burn type and applies the right combination of dry sponge cleaning, wet washing, abrasive blasting, and HEPA vacuuming to restore salvageable surfaces without spreading contamination to unaffected areas.
Suppression Water Extraction
Fire suppression often introduces thousands of gallons of water into a structure. Left unaddressed for even 48 hours, this water drives mold growth, warps framing, and saturates insulation. Atlas deploys extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers alongside fire cleanup crews to prevent a second wave of damage.
Structural Stabilization
Heat weakens steel connections, chars load-bearing lumber, and can crack masonry and concrete. Before any restoration work begins, Atlas performs structural triage to identify compromised members, shore unstable areas, and establish safe working zones — protecting both the crew and the remaining building envelope.
Odor Elimination
Smoke odor penetrates deep into porous materials — insulation, carpet pad, drywall paper facing, and even concrete. Atlas uses thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment to neutralize odor molecules at the source. When materials are too saturated to treat, we remove and replace them rather than attempting to mask the smell.
Hazardous Material Coordination
Fires in older Colorado buildings — especially pre-1978 structures common across Denver, Aurora, and Lakewood — can disturb asbestos insulation and lead paint. Atlas holds EPA Lead-Safe Certification (NAT-F222667) and coordinates abatement alongside fire restoration so both hazards are addressed under one scope, preventing regulatory delays.
Contents & Salvage Assessment
Not everything in a fire loss is destroyed. Atlas inventories contents, separates salvageable items for professional cleaning and storage, and documents total losses for insurance purposes. This process runs parallel to structural work, saving weeks on the overall restoration timeline.
From Emergency to Recovery
Sheridan's Full-Service Fire Restoration Process
Atlas manages fire restoration as a single continuous scope — from the first emergency call through final reconstruction. This eliminates the communication gaps, schedule conflicts, and accountability voids that appear when separate contractors handle each phase.
01
Emergency Response & Site Stabilization
Within hours of your call, Atlas crews arrive to secure the property. We board openings, tarp compromised roof sections, shut down utilities if needed, and establish containment zones. The site is stabilized against weather, unauthorized entry, and secondary damage while we coordinate with the fire marshal for full access clearance.
02
Damage Assessment & Documentation
Atlas documents every affected area with photos, moisture readings, air quality data, and structural notes. We map smoke and soot migration patterns, identify materials that can be cleaned versus those requiring removal, and flag any hazardous materials disturbed by the fire. This documentation feeds directly into the insurance claim and establishes the restoration scope.
03
Cleanup, Demolition & Decontamination
Based on the assessment, we execute selective demolition of unsalvageable materials, clean and treat recoverable surfaces, extract suppression water, and eliminate smoke odor from the structure. Hazardous materials are abated per EPA and Colorado Department of Public Health protocols. Contents are inventoried, packed, and sent for professional cleaning or documented as losses.
04
Reconstruction & Final Restoration
With the structure cleaned and decontaminated, Atlas transitions into reconstruction — framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finish work. Because our demolition and cleanup crews documented conditions during removal, the rebuild team inherits a clear picture of what was found behind walls and above ceilings. The property is returned to pre-loss condition or better, with final walkthrough and documentation for your insurance carrier.

Why Property Owners Choose Atlas
One Contractor From Emergency Through Reconstruction
Most fire losses involve three to five separate contractors — an emergency board-up company, a remediation firm, a demolition crew, a general contractor, and sometimes an environmental abatement specialist. Each handoff introduces delays, miscommunication, and accountability gaps. Atlas consolidates the entire scope under one contract, one project manager, and one timeline.
Single-Source Accountability
When one contractor owns the entire fire restoration scope, there are no finger-pointing gaps between the cleanup crew and the rebuild crew. Atlas project managers track every phase from emergency response through certificate of occupancy, and your insurance adjuster has one point of contact for the entire claim. This is especially critical for commercial properties in Denver and Colorado Springs where downtime translates directly to lost revenue.
Environmental Compliance Built In
Fire in a pre-1978 building almost always disturbs lead paint and may expose asbestos. Atlas holds EPA Lead-Safe Certification (NAT-F222667), DUNS 117517457, and CAGE CODE 62FR3 — the federal registrations required for government and regulated facility work. We test, abate, and document hazardous materials as part of the fire restoration scope, not as a separate mobilization that adds weeks to your timeline.
Insurance Process Fluency
Atlas has managed fire restoration claims with major carriers including State Farm, USAA, Allstate, and Farmers across Colorado. We understand how adjusters scope losses, what documentation they require for supplement approvals, and how to present line-item detail that moves your claim forward without disputes. Our damage documentation is built for the insurance process from day one, not retrofitted after the fact.
Colorado-Specific Experience
Colorado's dry climate, altitude, and temperature swings affect how smoke residue cures, how suppression water migrates, and how quickly secondary mold can establish in a fire-damaged structure. Atlas has restored fire losses across Sheridan, Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Boulder, Castle Rock, and Colorado Springs — and we calibrate our drying protocols, cleaning chemistry, and reconstruction materials for Front Range conditions, not generic national standards.

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!!!

Fire Damage Often Requires Additional Restoration Scopes
Fire losses rarely involve fire alone. Suppression water, smoke migration, and disturbed building materials frequently trigger additional restoration needs. Atlas handles these overlapping scopes under one contract.
Water Damage Restoration
Fire suppression introduces massive water volumes. Atlas extracts, dries, and restores water-damaged areas as part of the fire restoration scope.
Mold Remediation
Suppression water left standing for 48+ hours can trigger mold growth. Atlas monitors moisture levels and remediates mold before it spreads to unaffected areas.
Lead Paint Abatement
Fire in pre-1978 structures disturbs lead paint. Atlas is EPA Lead-Safe certified and integrates abatement into the fire restoration timeline.
FAQ
Fire Damage Restoration FAQ
Common questions from Colorado property owners dealing with fire, smoke, and soot losses.
1How soon should fire restoration begin?
Fire restoration should begin as soon as the site is cleared for safe access by local authorities. Every hour of delay allows smoke residue, soot acids, and residual moisture from suppression efforts to penetrate deeper into building materials. Atlas responds to fire losses across the Denver metro and Front Range within hours, not days — stabilizing the structure, boarding openings, and beginning contamination assessment so the damage does not compound while you wait for next steps.
2Can smoke odors be removed completely?
Yes — but only when the source of the odor is addressed, not just masked. Surface-level treatments and air fresheners do not reach smoke particles embedded in insulation, ductwork, framing cavities, and porous finishes. Atlas uses thermal fogging, hydroxyl generation, ozone treatment, and targeted material removal to eliminate odor at the source. Our EPA Lead-Safe certified crews (NAT-F222667) follow containment protocols that prevent cross-contamination during the cleaning process.
3Is it safe to re-enter a building after a fire?
Not without a professional assessment. Fire can compromise load-bearing members, warp steel connections, damage electrical and gas systems, and release hazardous particulates into the air. Atlas performs structural triage and air-quality screening before any occupant or trade crew re-enters the building. We coordinate with local fire marshals and insurance adjusters in Sheridan, Denver, Aurora, and across the Front Range to document conditions and establish a safe re-entry timeline.
4Does Atlas handle insurance claims for fire damage?
Atlas works directly with insurance carriers and adjusters throughout the restoration process. We provide detailed damage documentation, scope-of-loss reports, and photo evidence that align with insurance requirements. Our team has managed fire restoration claims with State Farm, USAA, Allstate, and other major carriers across Colorado, and we understand how to document work so your claim moves forward without unnecessary delays or disputes.
5What is the difference between fire restoration and reconstruction?
Fire restoration covers the immediate response: stabilization, hazard mitigation, soot and smoke cleanup, odor removal, and salvage of recoverable materials. Reconstruction is the rebuild phase — framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, and finish work to return the property to pre-loss condition. Atlas handles both phases under one contract, which eliminates the handoff gaps and communication breakdowns that occur when separate contractors manage each stage.
