Highlands Ranch Restoration Services

Every Kind of Damage, One Team

Whatever you’re facing, start here. Forefront Building + Restoration handles all of it. Pick what fits your situation.

Water Damage Restoration

Burst pipes, failed sump pumps, appliance leaks, and sewage line backups. We extract the water, clean and disinfect, and dry the structure properly, catching the moisture you can’t see before it turns into a mold problem.

Fire & Smoke Damage

From a contained kitchen fire to smoke that worked its way through the whole house. Emergency board-up, smoke and soot cleanup, and the rebuild after.

Mold Remediation

Even though it’s dry, mold is still very common in Colorado. Basements, tight new construction, and old water leaks are where we find it. Containment, removal, and a clear read on what’s really a problem and what isn’t.

Storm & Hail Damage

We handle storm and hail roof damage and the insurance side that comes with it. Damage isn’t always visible from the ground, which is why we get up on every roof we inspect.

Rebuild After the Damage

The same team that handles the damage rebuilds it: framing, drywall, flooring, paint, and fixtures.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Tell us what happened and we’ll help you figure out the next step. No cost, no pressure.

What You Can Count On

A restoration project is only as good as the people running it. One company handles your project from the first call to the final walkthrough, people who have been doing this work across the Denver metro for two decades.

One Company, Start to Finish

We handle both phases. We won’t tear out the damage and leave you on your own to find a contractor to rebuild. The same company that handles the damage puts your home back together, so there’s no second company to track down.

We Do What's Best for You

We never want to push you toward a claim you don’t need. We tell you what we see, what it’s likely to cost, and whether filing makes sense for your situation. Then you decide.

We Answer the Phone

You’ll know who’s handling your project and what’s happening, without having to chase anyone down.

IICRC Certified

Our work meets the industry’s measured standard, not just whatever looks dry. Moisture gets documented and verified before we call it done, so what you thought was handled doesn’t come back as mold weeks later.

The Calls We Take in Highlands Ranch

Four of the ones that come in most, and what actually happens after you make the call.

Who Fixes the Pipe and Who Fixes the House

Two things need to happen at once, and they’re two different trades. A plumber stops the water at the source. We deal with everything the water touched. Restoration companies don’t repair pipes and plumbers don’t do mitigation, so you’re not choosing between them. If you don’t have a plumber, we’ll recommend one we’ve used for years, and if the break is behind a wall we’ll help them narrow down where it is.

"It's Dry Here, It'll Dry Out"

The air outside is dry. The inside of a wall cavity is not, and that’s where the water goes. A closed-up space with wet framing and wet insulation in it holds moisture for a long time, and a fan pointed at the room doesn’t reach any of it. That’s the difference between a floor that looks dry and a structure that reads dry on a meter.

Why Scrubbing Mold Makes It Worse

Mold releases spores when it’s growing and again when it’s disturbed, so wiping at a patch spreads it into the rest of the house instead of removing it. A fan pointed at it does the same thing faster. We contain the area first, put it under negative air pressure so nothing travels, take out what has to go, treat what stays, and dry the structure back to normal.

Storm and Hail Damage

This end of the metro gets more hail than people expect, and a storm that dents gutters and strips shingles is also a storm that can let water in. If the roof opened up, the ceiling and the insulation under it are the part that doesn’t dry on its own. We handle the roof and the water damage underneath it, which saves you coordinating two contractors around one storm.

If you’re dealing with any of these, the next step is the same: give us a call and we’ll help you sort out what’s urgent and what can wait. (303) 660-6216

How We Work With Your Insurance

If you’re considering working with insurance, it’s helpful to confirm your deductible first. Some policies use a flat dollar amount and some use a percentage of what the house is insured for, and it varies from policy to policy rather than by what happened. On a $500,000 home, two percent is $10,000 out of pocket before the carrier pays anything, so the number changes the decision. You can find it on your policy or your declarations page, your agent can confirm it, or call us and we’ll help you work it out.

From there we work hand in hand with insurance, every step of the way. We can give you insight into the likelihood of coverage, what the work is going to cost, how the process runs, and what comes next at each stage, because we’ve worked with all the carriers for more than twenty years. We can’t determine coverage on your carrier’s behalf, and we won’t pretend to. What we can do is tell you where a loss like yours usually lands, document it properly, and stay in step with your adjuster from the first call to the last invoice.

What Happens When You Call

You Call, We Listen

Tell us what you’re seeing. We help you figure out how urgent it is and whether it needs a same-day response or can wait until morning.

We Come Out & Assess

A Free Damage Assessment, on your schedule. We find where the damage has actually traveled, including what you can’t see, and walk you through your options. No cost, no pressure.

We Handle It All

Mitigation, cleanup, and your insurance claim worked alongside it, with you in the loop the whole way.

We Put It Back Together

The same company that dried or cleaned your home rebuilds it. No handoff gap.

We’ve been doing this work since 2005. The homes and buildings we walk into are a short drive from where we live, and we’d rather answer to the people inside them than to anyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle both the cleanup and the rebuild?

Yes. We do the mitigation and the cleanup, and we do the reconstruction that puts the space back. One company from beginning to end. No handoff gap, so nothing stalls while you go looking for a second contractor.

A drain backed up in my basement. Can I clean that up myself?

Usually not, and there’s a reason rather than a rule. What came back up is contaminated, and contamination soaks into anything porous. Carpet, pad, drywall, particleboard. Those can’t be disinfected, so they have to come out. Hard surfaces are different and can be cleaned and kept. If it’s a small amount on tile or sealed concrete you can handle it. If it reached anything soft, don’t wade in. Call and we’ll tell you what you’re looking at.

Is a little mold in the bathroom something to worry about?

Often it isn’t, and a lot of what we get called to look at turns out to be minor or not mold at all. What matters is whether there’s water feeding it. Surface growth on grout in a room that gets steamy is a ventilation problem. The same-looking spot at the base of a wall, or on a ceiling, usually means water is getting somewhere it shouldn’t. The first step is just looking, and looking is free.

Hail came through my roof. Do you do the roof and the inside?

Both. We do storm and hail roof work and we do the water damage that comes in behind it, so one company scopes the whole loss and one claim covers it. The inside half is the part that gets missed, because a wet ceiling and wet insulation don’t look like much on day one and don’t dry on their own.

Should I file an insurance claim?

Sometimes, and the answer is worth a few minutes before you call the carrier. Some losses land close to or under a deductible, and every claim you file goes on your history whether it pays out or not, so filing and then getting denied is the outcome to avoid. Find out what your deductible actually is first, especially if it’s storm damage, because the wind and hail number is often a percentage rather than a flat amount. A Free Damage Assessment gives you the scope and the likely cost so you’re deciding with real numbers.

How fast can you respond in an emergency?

For an active water emergency we move to get a crew on site for extraction and stabilization. Highlands Ranch is minutes from our Centennial office, and we answer the phone around the clock, because water lines break at any hour. Call (303) 660-6216 and we’ll tell you what to expect.
