Why Aspen Property Owners Call Us

When you invite a company into your home or investment property, you want to know they have real experience and a strong track record. Since 2004, we have been helping clients across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming recover from water, fire, and environmental damage. Our locations serving Aspen, Vail, Steamboat Springs, Boulder, and Glenwood Springs give us daily experience with mountain homes and condos.

We are honored to have been named Aspen Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year and to receive consistent good ratings from Pulse of the City. These community recognitions reflect years of work in local homes and businesses, not just a few projects. They also support our mission to be the most respected restoration team in Colorado.

Most members of our team hold IICRC certifications in water and fire damage restoration, and we have 40 hour HAZWOPER technicians along with CDPHE certified asbestos building inspectors and supervisors. This environmental training supports careful work around mold and related hazards. As a Licensed General Contractor with an A+ rating from the BBB, we can coordinate both cleanup and the repairs that follow, which means you are not left searching for a second contractor once the mold is removed.

We also take safety seriously. In more than 14 years, our company has had only one reportable injury. That safety record matters when crews are working in your home, around your family, your finishes, and your belongings. Our goal is to protect people and property at every step.

What To Do When You Find Mold

Discovering mold is stressful, and it can be hard to know what is safe to touch or clean. A calm, careful response helps protect your health and can keep the problem from spreading. Whether you live in Aspen year round or manage the property from out of town, there are a few practical steps you can take right away.

Here are helpful steps to take before we arrive:

• Limit access to the affected area so children, pets, and guests are not exposed unnecessarily.
• Avoid scrubbing or cutting into moldy materials, since this can release more particles into the air.
• If water is still leaking, shut off the source if you can do so safely and without damaging finishes.
• Do not run fans that blow directly across visible mold, because moving air can spread it to clean areas.
• Take photos or short videos of what you see, especially if you may file an insurance claim.
• Call our 24/7 line so our team can discuss what you are seeing and help you decide on next steps.

In some situations, mold indicates a larger moisture issue behind walls, under flooring, or in ceiling cavities. Addressing the source early usually limits both damage and cost. When you contact us, our goal is to respond quickly, listen to your concerns, and schedule an assessment so you understand what is really happening in your property.

Our Mold Abatement Process

Many people tell us their biggest worry is not knowing what mold work will involve or how disruptive it will be. We believe you deserve a clear, straightforward description of what we typically do during mold abatement, so you can plan and feel more at ease. While every property is different, there are consistent steps we follow.

We start with an inspection and moisture evaluation. Our team looks for visible growth, staining, and signs of water damage, and we work to understand how moisture is entering or staying in the structure. In Aspen homes and condos, that can mean looking at roof lines under heavy snow areas, plumbing lines in multi level walls, and spaces that may be sealed tightly with limited ventilation. Identifying the source of moisture is a key part of helping you avoid repeat problems.

When mold removal is needed, we set up containment to separate affected areas from clean ones. This can involve plastic sheeting and controlled airflow, along with air filtration equipment to capture particles. Our environmental training and background with hazards like asbestos and HazMat work guide our focus on safety, both for your household and for our crews.

Inside containment, we remove or clean affected materials according to what can be restored and what is too damaged. We may work with building materials, contents, and surfaces, always with the goal of reducing mold and addressing the underlying moisture. Because we are a Licensed General Contractor, we can help plan for the repairs that follow removal, such as drywall, insulation, or finish materials.

Drying and verification are important steps before a space is put back into regular use. Our team uses professional drying methods to bring materials and air back toward normal moisture levels. When insurance is involved, we can provide documentation of the conditions we observe and the work we perform, which can help your claim move more smoothly. Throughout the process, we work to communicate clearly, especially if you are coordinating from outside Aspen or cannot be on site every day.

Mold Problems In Aspen Homes

The same qualities that make mountain homes comfortable and energy efficient can also create conditions where moisture lingers. In Aspen properties, we often see mold grow after roof leaks under heavy snow loads, ice dams, or small plumbing leaks that travel behind walls or ceilings. Even a slow drip can create enough moisture for mold when it goes unnoticed for a period of time.

Many homes and condos in the area are built to be tight and well insulated, which helps with comfort and energy use. At the same time, limited air movement and temperature swings can allow condensation to form inside assemblies or on cool surfaces. Over time, this moisture can support mold behind finishes, under flooring, or in closets and storage rooms that do not get much airflow.

Second homes and rental properties present their own challenges. A home that sits closed for weeks or months with a small leak or humidity problem can develop mold before anyone notices. By the time a cleaner, guest, or owner arrives, the issue may already be visible or have an odor. We regularly work with clients who manage properties remotely and need a team that can visit the site, document conditions, and keep them updated during abatement and repair.

We are familiar with a wide range of property types in Aspen, from ski condos near the lifts to large single family homes in the valley. Our goal is to work carefully around finished surfaces, furnishings, and artwork, and to coordinate schedules so disruption is as limited as conditions allow. When you understand why mold forms here and how we address it, it becomes easier to decide on a plan that fits your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if mold is a serious problem?

Mold can be a concern when it covers larger areas, keeps coming back, or appears after significant water damage. If you see widespread growth, smell a strong musty odor, or have health worries, it is wise to have our team inspect. We can explain what we find and suggest next steps.

Can I stay in my Aspen home during mold work?

Sometimes you can stay in the home, and other times it is more comfortable to be away. It depends on where the mold is located, how much of the home is affected, and your health needs. We use containment and air filtration to limit impact and discuss options with you before work begins.

How long does professional mold abatement usually take?

The timeline varies based on how large the affected area is, how complex the moisture problem is, and what materials are involved. Some projects take a few days, while others extend longer when repairs are needed. During our assessment, we work to give you a realistic expectation for your specific property.

Will my insurance help pay for mold removal?

Coverage for mold and water related damage depends on your policy and how the damage occurred. Many insurers look closely at whether there was a sudden event or a long term condition. We work directly with insurance companies, provide detailed documentation, and help you navigate the claims process when coverage may apply.

How does your team protect high end finishes and belongings?

We treat Aspen homes with care. Our team uses containment, coverings, and careful handling to protect floors, cabinetry, stone, and personal items as we work. Our long history in luxury and mountain properties, along with our strong safety record, guides how we plan each project in your home.
