Full Service Reconstruction & Restoration Company In Denver
Bringing your property back to life
Handling a home or commercial property’s disaster situation requires both mitigating the issue and rebuilding the affected areas of the property. Once the emergency has been taken care of—whether it’s water damage, fire damage, mold remediation, trauma clean-up/bio-cleaning, or asbestos abatement—the property will need to be restored. This could include structural repairs, drywall, plumbing, electrical, and/or landscape replacement … just to name a few. As a fully licensed general contractor, we can provide these services to homeowners as well as commercial properties. Our work ranges from basic repairs to complex, multi-faceted projects.

Reconstruction & Restoration Process
Once evidence of the disaster has been eliminated, HRS can begin the reconstruction and restoration process in your home or business. First, we assess the damage and note any areas where the walls, floors, or ceilings have been affected.
If water, fire, or mold has eaten away at these surfaces, they will need to be reinforced, replaced, or reconstructed. Next, we close off the affected area from the rest of the structure so that any smoke, hazardous chemicals, or mold doesn’t spread and make the problem a structure-wide disaster.
Then we eliminate all debris and move the structure’s contents outside to assess whether they can be salvaged by cleaning. Next, we evaluate the structural safety and determine whether the condition of walls, floors, ceilings, and roof warrant repairs or replacement. Finally, we make necessary repairs and replacements, clean the construction mess, and move salvageable items back into the home / business.
Assessment of Damage
Before we can begin, we must understand all of the risks and damage involved by thoroughly inspecting your home or business to find the damage that is visible, and what may be hidden to the naked eye. Using moisture control sensors, and specially formulated tools, we can detect mold and water underneath floors, and behind walls. We scour your entire home or office from the highest roof shingle, to the smallest of cracks in the foundation.
Partition the Affected Area
Mold, smoke, and other airborne pathogens can easily be carried to other areas of your home or business. Our professional reconstruction and restoration crew partitions off the affected areas to ensure that any risky or toxic substances are confined to one area where they can be quickly and efficiently addressed. We seal off the area and use PPE to ensure that dangerous substances are not redistributed to other areas of your home or business.
Eliminate Debris and Move Contaminated Items Outside
Before HRS Restoration Services can begin making repairs, we remove all damaged items, trash, and debris from your home or business. Depending on the type of materials, we follow local guidelines and regulations for disposal. Some items, such as cloth or leather furniture may be affected but salvageable, so these items will be cleaned separately and moved back in at a later step in the process.
Evaluate Structural Safety of Walls, Floors, Ceiling, and Roof
Our expert team includes licensed contractors with a full understanding of building best practices. They evaluate the structural integrity of beams, columns, floors, walls, and roofs.
Make Necessary Repairs and Replacements, Final Cleaning and Move Salvageable Items Back In
Once the structure has been evaluated, any necessary repairs will reinforce these structures, and if replacement is the only option, we can do that too. We then proceed to clean, deodorize, and sanitize the property before moving any salvageable items back into your home or business.

HRS Restoration Services – Denver
When disaster strikes, HRS’s 24 hour restoration services are here for your emergency cleaning and professional restoration needs. In addition to water extraction and water damage restoration, HRS offers the following emergency restoration services:
Water Extraction & Water Damage Restoration
Discovering water damage in your home or business—whether from a flood, a dishwasher malfunction, or a sewer backup—can feel devastating. And it can be a serious problem if not dealt with properly. In addition to causing damage, water can also spread contaminants that may lead to disease. A quick response to water intrusion is imperative due to the invasive properties of moisture:
Fire Damage & Restoration
A fire can be the most traumatic and devastating experience a home or business owner ever faces. In a best case scenario, it can cause minor smoke damage; in a worst case scenario, it can obliterate an entire structure. HRS will help you navigate these stressful circumstances and bring your property back to a safely inhabitable state.
Mold Inspection, Testing, & Remediation
No homeowner or business owner wants to hear that they have mold. Mold spreads quickly and can cause severe respiratory problems, especially in infants, children, the elderly, and those with health issues. Depending on the extent of the mold, a property can even be declared uninhabitable due to the threat it poses to the health of the occupants.
Trauma/Bio
Trauma clean-up and bio-cleaning is not a subject people give much thought to until they need the service. When dealing with a crime scene at your home or business, or with the aftermath of a fatality, the emotional toll can be overwhelming. HRS professionals can help ease the burden of the situation by eliminating all trace of the death or incident. This includes removing unsafe items and substances such as blood, other bodily fluids, and filth, all of which can contain biological hazards.
Asbestos Abatement
Asbestos is commonly found in older buildings, both residential and. It can be found in numerous construction materials, including concrete, asphalt, roof shingles, pipes, siding, wall board, floor tiles, joint compounds, adhesive, and insulation. The US banned the use of asbestos in the manufacturing of most materials in 1978, which is why we assume properties constructed before 1980 could have asbestos present.
Commercial Restoration
Dealing with a disaster situation at a commercial property type requires an additional skill set. Unlike a residence, commercial buildings have employees and, often, patrons that are affected by an incident such as a water event or smoke damage. HRS will provide the necessary remediation services efficiently and discretely.
