Highly Trained Restoration Specialists

Our reputation depends on our ability to deliver quality service day in and day out. Every new task and assignment puts our name to the test.

Does SERVPRO really respond quickly and effectively?

Our Colorado Springs area SERVPRO is locally owned and operated by Matthew Valdez. Matthew values education and training. It’s important to him that our team grasps the conceptual aspects of our remediation, the, “how water and fire damage works” aspects, as well as the technical skills, those skills that are only learned by grit and experience. We strive for both of these things in order to accomplish good, quality work.

Our technicians receive continuing education training as well as IICRC certifications in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration and Commercial Drying (among other topics).
