ECOS Environmental & Disaster Restoration

What ECOS Environmental & Disaster Restoration does

ECOS Environmental & Disaster Restoration is a privately held emergency restoration services provider founded in 2004 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado (with an additional principal office in Glenwood Springs). The company operates 12 staffed locations across Colorado, including Grand Junction, Aspen, Boulder, Aurora, Glenwood Springs, Basalt, Denver, Englewood, Parachute, Rifle, Steamboat Springs, and Vail, delivering 24/7 emergency response with a stated two-hour on-site arrival SLA via a live-operator phone line (888-868-5420). It serves residential and commercial property owners in Colorado whose properties have sustained water, fire, mold, biohazard, hazmat, asbestos, critter, crime scene, or hail/wind damage.

The company's core services are organized around nine product lines: water damage restoration (extraction, drying, repair, flood cleanup, mold remediation/removal/abatement, document restoration, leak detection); fire damage restoration (repairs, cleanup, smoke damage cleaning, personal belonging storage); biohazard cleanup, containment, repair, and sterilization; hazmat contaminant removal, permitting, revegetation, and spill response; asbestos testing and removal; critter cleanup (pigeon, raccoon, bed bug, hantavirus); indoor air quality services (radon, VOC); crime scene cleanup; and hail/wind damage repair. Underlying delivery relies on IICRC-certified technicians using industry-standard industrial equipment (air movers, dehumidifiers, HEPA vacuums, moisture meters, thermal imaging) with no proprietary technology stack disclosed.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with quote-based pricing, payment-plan availability, and direct coordination with insurance carriers to streamline claims for policyholders. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, supported by a content-marketing-heavy website with city-specific SEO landing pages, long-running blog archives (2013-2026), customer testimonials, and insurance-referral channels. Ownership sits with founders James Lowry and Theresa Lowry, and the company has received regional recognition including the 2012 Aspen Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award and four consecutive Pulse of the City Awards through 2025.
