Who We Are

A Licensed Cortez Crew That Answers Its Own Phone

We opened in the Cortez area because too many homeowners were getting a two-week wait for a "24/7" restoration company. Our trucks stage locally so that promise actually means something.

Because our crews work 81321 regularly, they already understand which Cortez permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

Homeowners, landlords, and Cortez, CO adjusters trust our paperwork because it's consistent: photo logs, moisture readings, and a written scope on every single Cortez job.

Licensed & Insured

Full coverage on every job we run in Cortez, CO.

Live Dispatch

No voicemail loop — someone picks up and dispatches immediately.

III

IICRC Trained

Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.

Adjuster-Ready Files

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.

Every Cortez job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

Don't Wait On These

Signs A Cortez Property Needs Fire Damage Removal Today, Not Next Week

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Cabinetry and flooring can swell within 24 hours once firefighting water sits without proper extraction.

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Cortez, CO fire claims get partially denied.

Every one of these problems compounds the longer they sit untreated — soot turns more corrosive, odor works deeper into materials, and insurance documentation gets harder to establish after the fact.
