Asbestos Abatement Authority
For over two decades, Atlas Contracting has been Denver's most trusted authority in asbestos abatement and environmental remediation. We specialize in the safe removal and containment of asbestos-containing materials from residential and commercial properties across the Denver metro area. Our EPA-certified team understands Denver's unique environmental regulations and air quality standards, ensuring every project meets or exceeds Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) requirements. We've earned our reputation through meticulous site assessments, rigorous containment protocols, and transparent communication with homeowners and property managers throughout the Denver metro area.
Whether you're renovating a historic Capitol Hill home, managing a commercial tenant improvement in downtown Denver, or addressing environmental concerns in an industrial facility near Commerce City or Aurora, Atlas brings certified expertise, transparent pricing, and a commitment to making Denver safer. We handle popcorn ceilings (a common hazard in 1960s-1980s Denver homes), asbestos floor tiles, pipe insulation, roofing materials, and other hazardous substances with precision and care. Our detailed site inspections identify all asbestos-containing materials, and our removal process minimizes dust and contamination risk to your family and property while keeping your home or business operational throughout the project.
As a family-owned business with deep roots in Colorado, we understand the specific remediation challenges that Denver properties face—from older construction practices to the region's unique climate and building code requirements. We've successfully completed projects in every Denver neighborhood from Park Hill to Highland Ranch, from Westminster to Castle Rock, and we've earned the trust of homeowners, property managers, and commercial contractors who know that safe environmental remediation requires more than just following regulations. It requires expertise, care, and accountability.

Mold & Lead Solutions
Denver's spring snowmelt and older home infrastructure create ideal conditions for mold growth in basements and crawl spaces—especially in neighborhoods like Cherry Creek, South Glendale, and the older sections of Park Hill where homes were built in the 1970s and earlier. Atlas uses advanced mold detection and non-toxic remediation techniques to eliminate the problem at its source, not just the visible symptoms. We don't just treat the growth; we identify and address the moisture source to prevent recurring issues that plague many Denver homeowners. Our team uses professional-grade moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture in walls and crawl spaces, then implements comprehensive drying and remediation protocols that work with Denver's unique climate challenges.
For historic Denver homes and renovations—particularly in neighborhoods like Congress Park and Washington Park where lead paint was standard through the 1970s—lead paint stabilization is often the most practical and cost-effective solution. We apply durable encapsulant systems that seal lead hazards in place, meeting all Denver renovation codes and environmental standards. Our HEPA-certified filtration protects your family during the entire process, and our transparent approach means you'll understand every step. Whether your home was built in the 1950s or 1970s, lead paint is a legitimate concern in Denver. We address it with EPA-approved methods and certified application, providing testing, containment, and stabilization or full removal based on your renovation plans and budget.
Many Denver families are surprised to learn that mold and lead paint issues are connected—renovation work can disturb lead paint, releasing dust, while inadequate moisture control during renovations can create new mold problems. Atlas provides integrated solutions that handle both concerns together, reducing the number of contractors you need and keeping your project timeline manageable. We've completed hundreds of mold and lead projects across Denver and surrounding areas, earning the trust of families, property managers, and contractors who know that these environmental concerns require specialized expertise.
Commercial Services
From downtown tenant improvements to full structural demolition in the Central Business District, to selective interior demolition in Tech Center, Atlas brings expertise and efficiency to Denver's most demanding commercial remediation needs. Our team specializes in managing selective interior demolition, comprehensive hazardous material assessment and removal, and complete structural teardown projects. We work hand-in-hand with general contractors, property managers, and developers to keep projects on schedule while maintaining the highest safety and regulatory standards. Our commercial experience spans office buildings in LoDo and Five Points, industrial facilities near North Denver, light manufacturing in the South Platte corridor, and mixed-use properties across the metro area. We've successfully completed projects in some of Denver's most challenging urban environments, where coordination with neighboring businesses and 24/7 operational continuity are non-negotiable.
We deeply understand Denver's building codes, neighborhood coordination requirements, and environmental oversight from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Our night and weekend scheduling flexibility works seamlessly around busy commercial properties, and our transparent debris management and hauling keeps projects clean and organized from day one. Whether it's meth lab decontamination for property managers concerned about tenant health and liability, biohazard cleanup for industrial sites managing safety compliance, or complex asbestos and lead removal during tenant improvements, Atlas handles Denver's toughest commercial remediation jobs. We're experienced in coordinating with city inspectors, environmental consultants, remediation engineers, and neighboring businesses to ensure seamless execution on every project. Our emergency response team is available 24/7 for urgent commercial situations—mold discovery in office spaces, flooding events requiring rapid decontamination, or contamination incidents requiring immediate assessment and containment.
Atlas understands that commercial property owners can't afford project delays or regulatory oversights. A single permitting problem, missed environmental requirement, or coordinated oversight can cost thousands in lost productivity and legal exposure. That's why we handle the full compliance chain—from initial environmental assessment through final inspections and certifications. We maintain relationships with Denver's Building Department, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and local environmental consultants to ensure your project moves forward without delays. For property managers managing multiple assets across Denver, we offer transparent volume pricing and streamlined scheduling to handle multiple projects efficiently. Our goal is to be a trusted partner you can count on for any environmental remediation challenge, from routine lead paint stabilization to complex emergency response.

"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!!!"

"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."

Common questions about environmental remediation and hazard removal in Denver
Asbestos removal costs in Denver typically range from $2,500 for smaller residential projects to $15,000 or more depending on the scope and material volume. We provide detailed, free line-item estimates after an on-site inspection. Factors affecting price include the type of asbestos-containing material, accessibility, containment requirements under Denver air quality standards, and disposal costs. Most Denver homeowners budget $5,000–$8,000 for typical popcorn ceiling removal or floor tile abatement. We break down every cost so you understand exactly where your money goes.
Yes, permits from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) are required for asbestos removal projects exceeding certain material thresholds. We handle all permit filings and ensure compliance with Denver's specific environmental codes and air quality standards. Our team is fully licensed to manage the permitting process, ensuring no delays and regulatory compliance from start to finish. Denver has strict notification requirements, and we coordinate with city inspectors to ensure your project meets all local regulations.
Stabilization seals lead paint in place with an encapsulant or paint barrier, preventing dust hazards without removing the paint. Abatement removes the hazard entirely through containment and disposal. Stabilization is often more cost-effective for historic Denver properties or when disturbance risk is low. Abatement is required when renovation plans will disturb the paint. We assess your property's needs and recommend the most appropriate solution based on your timeline and budget.
Absolutely. We use non-toxic antimicrobial agents and advanced containment protocols during all mold remediation work. Our family-first approach includes safe removal practices that protect pets and children. We isolate affected areas, use HEPA filtration, and apply only EPA-approved, non-toxic treatments. Pet-safe restoration is standard on every project—we don't compromise on safety to save time or money.
We provide emergency response for meth lab contamination. Our team can conduct an initial assessment within 24 hours of contact.

Mold is quite common in Denver basements, especially after spring snowmelt and in older homes with plumbing leaks or foundation issues. Denver's elevation and dry climate don't prevent basement moisture problems—they often amplify them when spring moisture meets older drainage systems. We provide comprehensive moisture control solutions, including source identification and remediation to prevent recurring mold. If your basement smells damp or you see visible mold, contact us for a free inspection.
