What our
customers are saying

Phase 3 of our remediation and things went just as smoothly as the first two phases. Luis A, Juan R and team were fantastic and so attentive. They got all the damaged areas cut out with surgical precision down to the studs and ready for the engineer to asses and the repair team to move in. They taped and sealed each room with heavy duty plastic and zipper barriers to contain all dust and debris (much appreciated as my mom has asthma) not a fleck of demo dust or rubble entered the house. They protected the floors and pathways even into the bathroom so nothing got damaged en process. Left every thing so clean spotless when they were done. Truly impressive!! Thank you so much Luis!

Luis A, Juan R, Sam O, and all of the ServPro Team has been great. Polite, efficient, and prompt with any requests. So far with about 10 projects they've worked on at our 108 unit apartment complex, they've been consistent too!
