Asbestos Services We Offer in Boulder and Surrounding Areas
Asbestos exposure poses a serious health threat in older buildings throughout Boulder. Asbestos fibers are released into the air when they are disturbed and can cause serious respiratory diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. That’s why professional asbestos testing and removal are so important for the protection of your family, employees, and property value.
We understand the anxiety that comes with discovering suspected asbestos in your Boulder property. Whether you’re remodeling an older house, managing a commercial building, or preparing a property for sale, we’re here to take you through the entire process with clarity and confidence.
Asbestos Testing
Our asbestos testing process begins with a thorough property inspection by our certified professionals. We strategically sample questionable materials – like insulation, floor tiles, popcorn ceilings, pipe wrapping, and siding – and send them to accredited laboratories for analysis.
Within a matter of days, you’ll receive comprehensive reports clearly outlining whether asbestos is present and to what degree. This critical first step allows us to develop a removal plan tailored to your situation.
Asbestos Removal
We don’t take any shortcuts with asbestos removal. We follow EPA and OSHA regulations to the letter, constructing sealed containment areas that stop fiber migration to the rest of your building.
Negative air pressure systems, HEPA filtration machines, and appropriate personal protective equipment are used throughout. Every project is completed with thorough cleaning, air quality testing, and proper disposal at a licensed facility.
Asbestos Abatement
Our asbestos abatement services extend far beyond removal. Enclosure or encapsulation is sometimes the optimal solution, and we’ll walk you through all of the options based on your building’s condition, your budget, and your timeline. We work with Boulder County officials to file all necessary permits and notifications, saving you the hassle of navigating regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we provide a comprehensive range of professional cleanup and restoration services, including:
Living in a home with asbestos is safe if the asbestos-containing products are undisturbed and in good condition. Asbestos poses a threat only when it is damaged, deteriorating, or disturbed during renovation or demolition, which releases microscopic fibers into the air.
Asbestos has been safely encapsulated for decades in floor tiles, insulation, or popcorn ceilings in many older Boulder homes. However, if you are planning to do any remodeling or if you discover crumbling, water damage, or wear on suspected material, you need to have it professionally tested and removed before proceeding. We recommend regular inspections for tracking the condition of known asbestos materials.
The time required for asbestos removal varies based on your project's size and complexity. A small residential project, such as a room's worth of asbestos floor tile removal, might take one to two days. Larger commercial and whole-house asbestos abatement projects can take weeks. The process includes setup and containment, actual removal, thorough cleaning, air quality testing, and final clearance inspection.
We always provide realistic time frames in advance and complete the work as quickly as possible to minimize disruption to your property. Weather, access problems, and materials can affect the schedule, but we keep you fully updated throughout all phases of your project.
We recommend all occupants, including pets, vacate during asbestos removal. Even with strict containment protocols and negative air pressure systems, staying elsewhere until the project is complete and air quality clearance is received is preferable.
On small, isolated projects, it may be possible to remain in distant areas of the building, but we evaluate each project on an individual basis and provide tailored guidance based on the scope of work. We understand this is an inconvenience, and we do it as fast as we can without compromising safety standards.
It is lawful in Colorado for homeowners to remove asbestos from their own single-family dwelling, but we would strongly advise against it. It is extremely dangerous to try to remove asbestos yourself without training, gear, and containment procedures. Even short exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious health problems that may not manifest for decades. In addition, amateur removal can contaminate your whole property and create liability issues if you sell the house.
Professional removal ensures the work is done safely, legally, and completely, including proper disposal at licensed facilities. The cost of professional service is a wise investment, compared to the potential health hazards and legal problems of doing it yourself.
