What to Expect From Our Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
At the first walk-through, we show you where the smoke reached beyond the room that burned, if any did, and tell you which belongings and surfaces we expect to clean and those that may need replacing. Furniture, clothing, and curtains that look ruined often come back in good shape, family photos and keepsakes get special care, and wood ceilings and log walls can often be refinished to match instead of replaced. While we pack out and inventory every item, you’re spared the job of sorting through smoky boxes, and if there’s a claim, we pass that list along to your insurance company, so you’re not left trying to remember everything you owned.
When rooms need rebuilding, the same company that handled the cleanup takes it from there, so you’re never searching for a contractor or explaining the fire to someone new. Your cleaned belongings go back to their original spots, and no one walking through could point to the walls we rebuilt or the wood we refinished. Long after the job is done, the closets and the rooms you rarely open still smell the way they did before the fire. That’s the Rocky Mountain experience.

Our Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Process
01 We answer and secure the property
If anyone is hurt or you smell gas, call 911 first, then call us when you’re able to. We answer 24/7, and a crew is typically there in about 60 minutes to board up openings, tarp the roof, and brace anything the fire weakened, so the building stays closed up until repairs begin.
02 We assess the damage and protect your belongings
We walk the property with you to see how far the soot and smoke traveled, then photograph and inventory your belongings and pack out what needs cleaning, so nothing is lost or damaged further.
03 We clean the soot and remove the odor
Our crew dries out water left behind by firefighting, cleans soot from walls, ceilings, and framing, and removes materials too burned to save. Then we remove the odor at its source and run negative air with HEPA filtration.
04 We rebuild and return your belongings
When insurance is covering the fire, we get our photos, the contents inventory, and the repair estimate to your adjuster before construction begins. Our construction crew then rebuilds what the fire took, and we return your cleaned belongings to their places, so you can live or work there again.
After the Fire, Call Us to Secure the Building
Once everyone is safe, call us any hour. We’ll board up and tarp the property right away, then lay out the next steps for cleaning up, saving your belongings, and rebuilding.
Why Grand County Turns to Rocky Mountain for Fire and Smoke Damage
After a fire, the damage is only part of what you’re facing. There’s a claim to start, belongings to sort through, and a property you may not be able to use for a while. We take on the cleanup, your belongings, and the rebuild until you’re back inside, so you’re not managing it alone.
01 Called to the scene by local firefighters
Fire departments across the county call us to the scene after a fire, so the people securing your property already know how to work safely in a burned building.
02 Smoke and odor removal you can count on
We hold IICRC certifications in fire and smoke restoration and odor control, and our odor removal is guaranteed, so the smell doesn’t come back once the windows close for winter.
03 Ready for large and total losses
We handle every level of fire damage, including total losses, and offered inspections to Grand County owners after the East Troublesome Fire, so even a large loss gets a clear plan and steady progress.
04 Licensed to rebuild what burned
As licensed general contractors, we manage the reconstruction, work in any changes you want to the layout or finishes, and rebuild the structure ourselves, so you’re not hiring a second company when the cleanup is done.
05 Updates while you’re staying elsewhere
If the fire has you staying somewhere else for a while, we send photos and video as the cleanup and rebuild move along, so you can follow the work without coming back to check.
The Same Crew Since 2008, With a New Mountain on the Jacket
You might know us as RMCAT, from the diamond logo on our beanies or the tie-dye we wear to every community event. Our logo has changed, but our people, our local roots, and our fast response haven’t.
We take our work seriously, even if we don’t always take ourselves that seriously.

Restoration Services That Often Follow a Fire
Most fires leave more than smoke behind, and our own crews handle the water, mold, and rebuilding that come with them.
-
Water Damage
Firefighting can leave gallons of water in walls, floors, and insulation, so our water crews start drying the structure while the soot cleanup is underway, and neither job has to wait on the other.
Water damage restoration → -
Frozen & Burst Pipes
A fire that shuts off the heat in winter can freeze the pipes in a closed-up house, and if a line splits before the heat is back on, we stop the water and dry and repair the damage along with the fire work.
Frozen pipe cleanup → Fire & Smoke Damage
After a stove, chimney, kitchen, or electrical fire, we board up the building, restore the structure and the belongings that can be saved, and rebuild the burned rooms, so the property is livable again.
You’re viewing this service-
Mold Remediation
Water from firefighting can sit in walls and under floors long enough to grow mold, so we check every area exposed to moisture for growth and remove any we find before those spaces are enclosed.
Mold remediation → -
Storm & Ice Damming
When hail, a heavy snow load, or an ice dam damages the roof, siding, or windows, we cover the openings right away, dry whatever got wet, and repair the roof, walls, and rooms underneath.
Storm damage repair → Reconstruction
Once the soot and odor are gone, our construction crew replaces the framing, drywall, flooring, cabinets, and trim that were fire-damaged, so every room is finished and ready to use again.
General contracting →
Smoke-stained carpet can often be saved with carpet cleaning, and before larger sections of drywall or ceiling come down, we handle any asbestos testing and removal they need. And when there’s an insurance claim, we stay in touch with your adjuster through the cleanup and the rebuild. Not sure what you need? Call us.

Grand County Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration FAQs
If a chimney fire stayed inside the chimney, can it still damage my house?
Yes. A chimney fire burns hot enough to crack flue tiles and mortar or warp a metal chimney or stovepipe, letting heat and smoke reach the framing around the chimney and the rooms nearby, often where you can’t see it. We check the walls, ceiling, and attic around the chimney or stove for heat damage, then clean the soot from every room it reached.
Can I wipe the soot off the walls myself, or should I wait?
It’s best to wait, because wiping smears most soot deeper into the surface. Wood fires leave dry, powdery soot, burning plastics leave sticky, oily soot, and kitchen fires leave a thin film that holds a strong odor, and each one needs a different cleaning method. We identify what burned first and match the cleaning to it.
How do you decide what gets cleaned and what gets replaced?
It comes down to heat versus smoke. Anything charred, melted, warped, or brittle is replaced. Glass, metal, tile, sealed wood, masonry, and painted drywall with only smoke film on them usually clean up, while insulation and carpet pad that soaked up smoke are more often replaced. We walk you through what’s staying and what’s going before any demolition starts.
Can you clean up wildfire smoke and ash that got into our house?
Yes. Fine ash and smoke work their way in through vents, attic openings, and gaps around doors and windows, then settle on surfaces and soak into fabrics, carpet, and insulation. A household vacuum just blows the finest ash back into the air, so we remove it with HEPA equipment, wash the soot from the structure and everything you own, and get rid of the smell at its source.
Why does the house still smell like smoke after the soot is cleaned?
Because smoke residue works into porous materials like insulation, carpet pad, and bare wood, where wiping the walls can’t reach it. We find what’s holding the smell and clean, seal, or replace it, and our odor removal is guaranteed, so the smell doesn’t return the first time the heat comes on.
Do I need professional cleanup after a small kitchen fire?
Often, yes. Even a fire that stayed on the stovetop can send a greasy layer of smoke residue through the house, into cabinets, closets, and upstairs rooms, and that residue holds onto the smell. We check how far it traveled, clean it from every surface it reached, and deodorize the house, so the kitchen fire doesn’t linger in rooms that never saw flames.
