Methamphetamine and fentanyl decontamination to 6 CCR 1014-3 standards for Thornton homes, rentals, apartment buildings, commercial properties and vehicles. Free estimates, published pricing, certified clearance — and we beat competitor bids daily.
Thornton sits in Adams County, in the Denver metro — our primary service area region, with a population around 143,000. Denver is our home market and where we run crews every day, so metro jobs get same-week scheduling and carry no travel or mobilization line item at all. Denver-metro housing stock turns over fast, and a large share of it is rental. Most contamination we find here is use-related — a previous tenant smoking indoors for months — not a manufacturing lab. That distinction matters, because use-contamination usually cleans to standard without gutting the property, and it is where our pricing gap over the big restoration franchises is widest.
Local housing stock here skews toward post-war ranches, 1970s–90s tract homes, garden-style apartment complexes and converted bungalows, which shapes what remediation actually involves. Older properties with original ductwork and carpet-over-subfloor construction almost always need HVAC decontamination and porous material removal. Newer construction with sealed systems often clears with surface decon alone — and we will tell you which category you are in before you spend money.

$60, tests 4 areas, accredited lab result. Colorado only.. The majority of Thornton contamination we find is use-related rather than manufacturing, which means it typically clears to Colorado standard without gutting the property.

We also handle asbestos abatement and certified inspection in Thornton, through the Colorado-certified General Abatement Contractor we work alongside — who discounts the same way we do.
It matters more than people expect on decon jobs. Meth remediation means pulling carpet, subfloor, drywall and duct insulation, and in any Thornton property built before about 1980 those are the materials most likely to contain asbestos. Colorado's Regulation No. 8 trigger for a single-family home is just 32 square feet of surface material or 50 linear feet of pipe insulation — roughly one bathroom floor, or one bedroom's popcorn ceiling. Above that, certified inspection and abatement are required by law. Bundling both trades on one mobilization is materially cheaper than running them as two separate jobs.
Every Thornton job is cleared to the same threshold: 0.5 µg per 100 cm² under 6 CCR 1014-3, with 4 µg/100 cm² permitted in limited-exposure areas such as attics and crawlspaces, and 1.5 µg/100 cm² on previously painted surfaces. If post-decon sampling on our work comes back over standard, the three-clean guarantee applies: the second clean is steeply discounted the original price, and if the first and second both fail the third is free, or a minimum company charge based on room count and property size.
In Thornton most residential decontamination runs $2,450 to $16,200 depending on square footage and contamination level, with a typical single-family home at moderate contamination landing near $8,550 for base decon. That is well under the $15,000–$20,000 Colorado market average, and we beat competitor bids in Adams County daily. Run the instant estimator for a scoping range — your firm price is confirmed after we review your lab report and walk the property.
Yes — Thornton and every surrounding community in Adams County. We are a statewide Colorado contractor and schedule work geographically, so you get a real price rather than a travel surcharge.
Free estimates in Thornton are typically scoped within one to two business days, and often same-day by phone and photos. Our 48-hour rush mobilization is available when a closing date or a tenant turn is on the line.
Every figure on this site — the rate card, the estimator, anything we discuss on the phone — is a starting point for scoping, not a quote.
Your price is confirmed after two things happen: we review your lab report, so we know the actual contamination level and where it is, and we walk the property in person, so we know what is really coming out and what condition the structure and HVAC are in. Only then do we issue a written, itemized price.
Once that written price is issued, it holds. If something genuinely unforeseen turns up mid-job — asbestos in flooring we are pulling, structural rot, undisclosed hoarding — we stop, document it, and re-quote that portion before proceeding. You will never get a surprise line item after the fact.
We beat competitor bids daily. Send us any quote you have already received and we will read it line by line, tell you honestly whether the scope is fair, and show you where we come out. A lot of the bids we review are padded — and a few are genuinely underscoped, skipping HVAC or clearance testing so the headline number looks lower than the job actually is. We will point that out either way.
What we will not do is quote you a number over the phone and then change it later. See the next question.
Fentanyl is far more potent by weight, so the hazard threshold is lower, but it is generally less absorptive into building materials than methamphetamine. In practice, fentanyl decon is often less destructive — more surface treatment and contents handling, less demolition.
Colorado has not adopted a numeric residential clearance standard for fentanyl the way it has for meth, so we work to established occupational and industry guidance and document everything. We will tell you plainly what is regulated and what is best practice.
