About this company
Rainbow Restoration of Commerce City - Brighton is a franchise location of the national Rainbow Restoration brand, part of the Neighborly family of home service companies. Based at 6025 E 76th Ave in Commerce City, Colorado, the location serves Commerce City, Brighton, Dupont, Henderson, and Lochbuie. It handles water damage, mold remediation, fire restoration, and full reconstruction for both residential and commercial properties.
What stands out here is the owner-operator model. Bob Madlener runs the operation and shows up on jobs himself. Multiple reviewers mention his contracting background, which means he can assess structural damage during mold and water jobs rather than subbing that work out. The location also handles reconstruction in-house, so a homeowner dealing with water damage that led to mold can get mitigation, remediation, and rebuild from one company.
The franchise carries IICRC certification through the national brand and offers 24/7 emergency response. Rainbow Restoration has operated nationally for more than 40 years, though this Commerce City - Brighton location's own tenure is not specified on the website.

Review consensus
Bob Madlener gets named in the majority of reviews. Reviewers highlight his contracting knowledge, honest scoping (multiple reviewers say he did not upsell), daily communication during projects, and willingness to handle insurance paperwork. Jake earns praise for water damage cleanup work alongside Bob. Erin Nichols, a Local Guide with 34 reviews, specifically noted Bob's contracting background set him apart from two other companies she interviewed. Clay Guenther said he did not feel upsold when addressing a musty basement odor. Martha Johnson said she feared being told her house was full of mold but found him honest and efficient.
0 found across 25 total reviews at 5.0★. No 1-star or negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With only 25 total reviews, the absence of negatives could reflect genuine quality or simply a small sample size.
Several reviewers independently mention that Bob did not upsell or inflate the scope of work. For a company that does both testing and remediation, this is a noteworthy signal. Repeat reviewer themes center on communication, speed of response, and honest assessments. One reviewer (Mike Madlener) shares the owner's surname, which may indicate a family connection.
Bob Madlener (owner/operator — consistently praised for honesty, contracting knowledge, and communication). Jake (field technician — praised for water damage cleanup and reliability). Robert (likely same person as Bob; praised for insurance coordination and knowledge).
At 25 reviews, this is still a young profile, but the consistency is notable: reviewers independently confirm the same traits. Ask Bob directly about independent mold testing before signing a combined testing-and-remediation contract. If you want a single point of contact from mitigation through reconstruction, this location is set up for that.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the company finding the mold is also the company billing to remove it. Ask whether they accept third-party test results or recommend an independent tester.
- This is a franchise, not an independent local company. National brand standards apply, but the local team is the one doing your work. Staffing and quality can vary from other Rainbow Restoration locations.
- Only 25 Google reviews to date. A perfect 5.0 rating at that volume is encouraging but represents a small sample.
