Our Complete Restoration Services

Water Damage Restoration

Water is one of the most destructive forces your property can face. We handle all types of water damage, from burst pipes to roof leaks.

Our water damage services include emergency water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, and moisture monitoring. We use industrial-grade equipment to remove water fast and dry everything completely. This stops mold from growing and prevents wood rot.

Here’s a common situation we see: A Lakewood homeowner comes home to find their basement flooded from a broken water heater. The water has been sitting for hours. They call us immediately, and we arrive within an hour to start extracting water. By acting fast, we save their flooring and prevent mold growth. This is exactly why speed matters.

Water damage can come from many sources. Burst pipes during Colorado’s cold winters. Appliance failures like washing machines or dishwashers. Roof leaks from heavy snow loads. Sewer backups. Even small leaks can cause big problems if they go unnoticed.

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration

Fires leave behind more than just burned materials. Smoke and soot damage can affect every room in your property, even areas the fire never touched.

We handle complete fire damage restoration. This includes debris removal, smoke odor elimination, soot cleaning, structural repairs, and content restoration. Our team knows how to clean smoke damage from walls, ceilings, and belongings without making it worse.

Smoke odor is particularly tricky. It seeps into fabrics, carpets, and even the structure of your building. We use specialized equipment like ozone generators and thermal foggers to completely remove smoke smell. Regular cleaning won’t work for this—you need professional-grade deodorization.

After a fire, you’re dealing with insurance companies, finding temporary housing, and trying to figure out what can be saved. We take the restoration burden off your shoulders so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.

Mold Remediation

Mold grows fast in Colorado’s mountain climate, especially after water damage. We find it, remove it, and fix the moisture problem that caused it.

Our mold remediation process includes testing and inspection, containment to prevent spread, HEPA air filtration, complete removal of contaminated materials, antimicrobial treatment, and fixing the moisture source. We don’t just clean up visible mold—we find the hidden growth and stop it from coming back.

Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours after water damage. It’s why we always tell people to call immediately after any water problem. Even a small leak in your ceiling can turn into a major mold issue if you wait.

Black mold, green mold, white mold—people worry about what type they have. The truth is, all mold needs to be removed properly. Some types are more dangerous than others, but none of it belongs in your home or business. We handle all mold situations with the same professional approach.

Storm Damage Repair

Colorado weather can be brutal. High winds, hail storms, heavy snow—our mountain climate throws everything at buildings.

We repair all types of storm damage including roof damage, broken windows, structural damage from fallen trees, water intrusion from storm damage, and wind damage to siding and gutters. We also provide emergency board-up services to secure your property immediately after a storm.

Storm damage often combines multiple problems. A hailstorm might break windows and damage your roof, letting rain pour into your attic. Wind might tear off part of your roof, exposing your property to weather. We handle all of it.

Emergency board-up is critical. If a storm has left your property exposed, we secure it immediately. This prevents additional damage from weather, animals, and unfortunately, theft. Your insurance company expects you to protect your property, and boarding up exposed areas is part of that responsibility.

Flood Cleanup

Flood water is dangerous. It contains bacteria, sewage, chemicals, and other contaminants. Professional cleanup isn’t optional—it’s necessary for your health and safety.

Our flood cleanup services include contaminated water extraction, complete sanitization and disinfection, structural drying, contaminated material removal, and air quality restoration. We treat every flood as a biohazard situation because that’s often what it is.

Flood water falls into different categories. Clean water from a burst pipe is Category 1. Gray water from appliances is Category 2. Black water from sewage or flooding is Category 3—the most dangerous. We handle all categories, but Category 3 requires specialized equipment and procedures.

After the 2013 Colorado floods, we helped hundreds of families recover. We saw firsthand how devastating flood damage can be. But we also saw how proper professional restoration could save homes that seemed completely destroyed. That experience taught us that fast response and thorough work make all the difference.

Sewage Backup Cleanup

Sewage backups are emergencies. They’re disgusting, dangerous, and they need immediate professional attention.

We handle complete sewage cleanup including emergency extraction of contaminated water, removal of affected materials, complete disinfection, odor elimination, and air quality restoration. This isn’t a DIY situation. Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can make you seriously ill.

Our crew wears full protective equipment during sewage cleanup. We use hospital-grade disinfectants. We remove contaminated materials that can’t be saved. And we make sure your property is completely safe before we’re done.

People often ask if they should try cleaning small sewage backups themselves. Our answer is always no. The health risks are too high. Even a small backup can contain dangerous pathogens. Call us at 303-816-0068 instead.

Complete Reconstruction Services

Restoration often means rebuilding. We don’t just clean up damage—we put your property back together better than before.

Our reconstruction services include structural repairs, complete rebuilds when necessary, remodeling and updates, drywall repair and replacement, flooring installation, painting, and working with your insurance company throughout the process. We handle everything from small repairs to complete rebuilds.

Here’s what makes us different: We’re restoration specialists who do reconstruction, not general contractors who dabble in restoration. We understand how buildings fail during disasters. We know what needs to be replaced versus what can be saved. And we know how to work with insurance companies to get your claim approved.

A typical reconstruction project might look like this: Water damage destroyed your kitchen and family room. We extract the water, dry the structure, remove damaged materials, and then rebuild. New drywall, new flooring, new cabinets if needed. We coordinate with plumbers and electricians. We handle permits and inspections. And we keep you informed every step of the way.

Residential and Commercial Properties

Residential Restoration

We work on homes of all sizes and types. Single-family homes, townhouses, condos, apartments—if you live in it, we can restore it.

Homeowners face unique challenges during restoration. You’re living in the middle of the disaster. You’ve got kids, pets, and daily life to manage. You’re emotionally attached to your belongings. We get it because we’re a family business, and many of us have been through disasters ourselves.

We respect your home. Our crews are professional, clean, and courteous. We set up containment barriers to keep dust and debris isolated. We protect areas we’re not working in. And we communicate with you daily about progress.

Mountain homes present special challenges. Log homes need different treatment than standard construction. Properties at higher elevations deal with more extreme weather. Vacation homes might sit empty for weeks before damage is discovered. We’ve handled restoration in Conifer, Evergreen, Bailey, and throughout the mountain communities for decades. We know these buildings.

Commercial Restoration

Business interruption is expensive. Every day your commercial property is closed, you’re losing money. We understand the urgency.

Our commercial restoration services cover offices, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, medical facilities, schools, churches, and multi-family properties. We’ve restored everything from small shops to large commercial buildings.

Commercial projects often require working around business operations. We can work nights and weekends to minimize disruption. We can isolate affected areas so parts of your business can stay open. We coordinate with your business needs because we know that getting you back to serving customers is the priority.

Documentation for commercial claims is more complex than residential claims. We provide detailed reports, photos, moisture readings, and work logs. We communicate directly with your insurance adjuster. And we understand commercial building codes and requirements.

Why Call American Restoration Immediately

When disaster strikes, three things matter most: speed, expertise, and trust.

Speed saves money. Water damage gets worse every hour. Mold starts growing within 24-48 hours. Fire residue becomes harder to clean the longer it sits. Storm damage exposes your property to more weather and potential theft. The faster we start working, the more we can save.

Expertise saves headaches. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years. Our technicians hold IICRC Master Certifications—fewer than 4% of restoration professionals achieve Master level, and we have three of them. We know what works and what doesn’t. We won’t waste your time or money on ineffective methods.

Trust saves stress. You’re already dealing with a disaster. You need a restoration company that shows up when promised, does what they say they’ll do, and communicates honestly about what to expect. We treat your property like it’s our own because our reputation depends on every single job we do.

Your insurance policy requires you to prevent further damage. That’s legal language for “act fast.” If you wait and damage gets worse, your insurance company might deny part of your claim. Calling us immediately isn’t just smart for your property—it protects your insurance coverage too.
