Signs of smoke damage

Smoke reaches far beyond the burn area and keeps damaging surfaces long after the fire is out. Watch for these.

  • A film on walls and ceilings

    A hazy gray or yellow film on painted surfaces is smoke residue that will stain permanently if it isn't cleaned.

  • Smoke odor in fabrics

    Curtains, upholstery, and clothing that hold a strong smoke smell have absorbed particles that need specialized cleaning.

  • Discoloration around vents and outlets

    Dark halos near registers, switches, and outlets show smoke traveled through the air and the ductwork.

  • Odor that flares up with heat or humidity

    A smell that returns when it's warm or damp means smoke has settled deep into porous materials.

  • Etching on glass and metal

    Cloudy glass and corroding metal fixtures are signs acidic smoke residue is still at work on hard surfaces.

Seeing any of these in Boulder? Don't wait. Call (844) 810-6096 for a fast, no-pressure assessment.

What our smoke damage cleanup includes

A complete, professional process from first response to final restoration.

  • Smoke residue removal

    Photographed and logged as we work, so your insurer sees exactly what was done.

  • Wall & ceiling cleaning

    Checked by the lead technician and walked with you before we call this part done.

  • HVAC & duct cleaning

    Carried out by certified technicians with the commercial machinery this step actually needs.

  • Surface deodorization

    Scheduled around your household, with a clear start time and a realistic finish date.

How Our Process Works

Our proven process secures your property and returns it on the fastest path back to normal.

  1. Emergency Assessment

    We answer 24/7 and arrive quickly to board up the property and scope the fire loss.

  2. Soot & Smoke Removal

    We remove the residue immediately, then deodorize with thermal fogging and air scrubbing.

  3. Deodorize & Treat

    Surface cleaning alone won't cut it, so we deodorize the air and materials until the smoke smell is gone for good.

  4. Restore to Pre-Loss

    The final step rebuilds everything the fire touched and returns your contents and property to normal.

Why fast action matters

Smoke Damage Cleanup is time-sensitive. The longer you wait, the more it spreads and the more it costs.

  • It gets worse over time

    Left untreated, the problem spreads and becomes harder and costlier to resolve.

  • Secondary damage

    Delays often lead to additional damage to materials, structure, or surrounding areas.

  • Health and safety risks

    Situations like this can carry real health or safety risks until they're properly handled.

What affects the cost of smoke cleanup

Smoke cleanup depends on how far it spread and what it settled on. Main factors:

  • How far smoke traveled

    Smoke that reached multiple rooms and the ductwork takes more cleaning and deodorization than a contained area.

  • Type of smoke residue

    Dry, wet, or protein residues each clean differently and set how much labor the job takes.

  • Surfaces and contents affected

    Porous materials and fabrics that hold odor need more intensive treatment than sealed hard surfaces.

Fire Damage in Boulder: What to Know

Straight answers on how fire damage restoration works, what it costs, and how insurance fits in, so you know what to expect before you call.

  • The Types of Smoke Residue

    Fires leave wet smoke, dry smoke, protein residue, or fuel-oil soot, and each one bonds to surfaces differently. Identifying the residue type is what determines the right cleaning method, because the wrong one can set a stain permanently.

  • Why Smoke Odor Lingers

    Smoke particles are small enough to penetrate drywall, insulation, and ductwork, so a room can look clean yet still smell. Surface cleaning isn't enough. Thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl treatment neutralize the odor at its source.

  • Why Board-Up Can't Wait

    Open windows and a damaged roof expose your property to weather, theft, and further loss, and insurers expect you to mitigate. Emergency board-up and roof tarping in the first hours protects the structure while the cleanup is planned.

  • Soot Is Acidic, and Time Matters

    Within hours, acidic soot begins to etch glass, corrode metal and electronics, and stain walls. The sooner soot and smoke residue are removed, the more of your home and belongings can be saved.

  • One Team: Cleanup Through Rebuild

    We handle the whole recovery under one roof, covering board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, deodorization, and full structural rebuild back to pre-loss condition, so you never have to hand off to a second contractor mid-project.

What our crew handles

Our Fire Damage Services in Boulder

Full-service fire recovery for every kind of fire, residential and commercial, from emergency board-up and soot removal to complete rebuild.

  • Soot Removal

    Soot is acidic, pitting metal fixtures and eating into glass within a few untouched hours. Turn-of-the-20th-century Queen Anne and Victorian finishes in the Highland Lawn Historic District are especially vulnerable. We start with dry chemical sponges, then wet cleaning where that alone falls short.

    How our Soot Removal works

  • Fire Damage Cleanup

    Once the fire trucks leave, the structure is still holding char, ash, and the water crews used to put it out. Colorado winters mean an unheated, wet structure freezes fast, so our crew clears debris and stabilizes the site across Boulder County before that second loss can set in.

    More about Fire Damage Cleanup

  • Smoke Odor Removal

    Spraying over a smoke smell buys an hour at best, the odor always comes back. Thermal fogging, ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and HEPA air scrubbing go after it at the source. Regional wildfire-season smoke can settle into homes near open space with no flame touching the structure.

    More about Smoke Odor Removal

  • Structural Repair & Rebuild

    Bringing a room back to pre-loss condition means real reframing, fresh drywall, and full refinishing, not a quick patch job. A Highland Lawn or Chautauqua-area home needs period trim and texture matched, not generic patchwork, so repaired rooms actually blend with the rest of the house.

    How our Structural Repair & Rebuild works

  • Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

    We inventory everything, pack it out, and clean it off-site in secure storage while your Boulder home is repaired. Keepsakes, furniture, and electronics get itemized before anything leaves the property, then packed back in once repairs and odor treatment are fully finished.

    More about Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out

  • Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

    Windows get boarded and the roof tarped the same afternoon we are called, not later in the week. A hole in the roof through a Front Range snow or wind event turns a fire loss into a water loss fast, near Gunbarrel or up against the foothills.

    How our Emergency Board-Up & Tarping works

  • Fire & Water Damage Restoration

    Firefighting water left in place freezes solid in a Colorado winter and grows mold once summer arrives. Our crew extracts water and structurally dries the property first, then handles soot and smoke cleanup, one team covering both stages without a second company involved.

    More about Fire & Water Damage Restoration

  • Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

    Crew size flexes with the size of the loss, which is exactly what keeps a business's downtime short. Pearl Street Mall storefronts and Twenty Ninth Street retail get after-hours scheduling and insurer coordination so a business reopens sooner than waiting on one small crew alone to finish.

    More about Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

  • Puff-Back Cleaning

    Oily black soot from a furnace puff-back spreads across walls, ceilings, and ductwork within minutes. Oil furnaces are uncommon in Boulder County, where gas and electric heat dominate, but when it happens our crew uses degreasing agents built for oily soot, not standard smoke cleaning.

    How our Puff-Back Cleaning works

  • Wildfire Smoke Remediation

    The City of Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks department manages roughly 8,000 acres of protected forest immediately west of town under an active wildfire-risk-reduction program. Homes closest to that land can take on smoke and ash with no flame contact. We run exterior ash cleanup, HEPA filtration, then deodorization.

    More about Wildfire Smoke Remediation

  • Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

    Smoke pulled into forced-air ducts keeps recirculating soot and odor long after the visible surfaces look clean. This pairs directly with regional wildfire smoke here, since ash drawn in through a running system keeps re-contaminating rooms already cleaned. We run duct cleaning paired with HEPA filtration.

    More about Duct & HVAC Smoke Cleaning

  • Chimney Fire Cleanup

    Boulder's turn-of-the-century historic homes and older west-side stock are where wood-burning fireplaces cluster, and Colorado winters mean real use. Not every home has one, but we clean creosote and soot around the firebox and nearby walls. Hold off on the next fire until someone qualified checks the flue.
