SERVICES OVERVIEW

**Fire Sprinkler Design & Installation** Whether you're building new or retrofitting an existing structure, Paracute handles the full design and installation of your fire sprinkler system from hydraulic calculations through final inspection. Steven has worked on everything from tight commercial retrofits to large multi-use buildings, and he knows how to design systems that pass the first time. *Expertise detail: Paracute designs systems to NFPA 13, 13R, and 13D standards depending on occupancy type, so your system is code-compliant for your specific building, not just built to a generic template.* --- **Fire Sprinkler Service & Inspections** Regular inspections keep your system legally compliant and actually functional when it matters. Paracute performs full wet, dry, and pre-action system inspections, tests flow alarms, checks heads for corrosion or damage, and delivers documentation your insurance company and AHJ will accept. *Expertise detail: Unlike larger firms that send a different tech every visit, Steven personally knows the history of the systems he services, which means he catches developing problems that a fresh set of eyes would walk right past.* --- **Fire Alarm Design & Installation** A fire alarm system that goes off when it should and stays quiet when it shouldn't requires more than hanging a panel and pulling wire. Paracute designs and installs addressable fire alarm systems tailored to your occupancy, with proper device placement, zoning, and integration with your sprinkler system where required. *Expertise detail: Paracute works with commercial and light industrial occupancies across the Western Slope, and understands the specific inspection requirements the local Authority Having Jurisdiction expects to see before they sign off.* --- **Backflow Testing** Your fire sprinkler system connects to the potable water supply, and a properly functioning backflow preventer is what keeps those two from mixing. Paracute performs certified backflow testing and submits the required reports to your water authority so you stay in compliance without the paperwork headache. *Expertise detail: This is one of those services that larger fire protection companies routinely deprioritize for smaller accounts. Paracute treats your backflow test like it matters, because a failed device or a missed filing deadline can put your entire water service at risk.* ---

WHY CHOOSE US

**You're talking to the person doing the work.** Steven Olen owns Paracute and is directly involved in the jobs. You're not relaying messages through a dispatcher, waiting on a project manager to call you back, or wondering who's actually showing up. When you have a question, you get a straight answer from someone with 30 years of experience in fire protection, not a customer service script. **Small enough to take your job seriously.** Larger fire protection firms on the Western Slope have a tendency to prioritize big commercial contracts and let smaller jobs sit in the queue. Paracute was built specifically to serve the clients those firms underserve. A single-building inspection, a small tenant build-out, a backflow test that needs to happen before your certificate of occupancy, these are exactly the jobs Paracute is set up to handle quickly and correctly. **Three decades of real field experience.** Thirty years in fire protection means Steven has seen the jobs that went wrong because someone cut a corner on design, or installed a head in the wrong position, or skipped a step during commissioning. That experience is what you're actually hiring when you call Paracute. Not a brand name. Not a franchise. A person who has solved the specific problem you're dealing with before. **Licensed, insured, and code-current.** Paracute carries full licensing and insurance in Colorado. Every installation and inspection is performed to current NFPA standards and local code requirements. You get the documentation you need and work you can stand behind when the inspector shows up. ---
