What our
customers are saying

Hi All,

  I wanted to share a real life story related to last week’s presentation by SERVPRO’s Aaron Roy. I’ve known Aaron for some time now and he’s had great interactions with several of my past clients. Last Wednesday’s presentation was a great refresher for me and I also learned more about SERVPRO’s capabilities past disaster recovery, including storing clients’ property in their climate controlled warehouse where they can fix damage done to personal effects.   Two days later when I was awakened by a family member who had 6 inches of water in their basement and needed all hands on deck, Aaron’s presentation seemed apropos. I headed straight over and with 6 pumps and 5 people removing water with buckets it took us 7 hours to remove most of the water. When I got there I was informed that all the local disaster remediation companies had been consulted and nobody would be able to visit the home for at least several days. So, I called Aaron.   Aaron had an associate to the house in 90 minutes. There was a plan in place that night and crews were at the house the next day tearing out carpet and transporting personal property to the climate controlled warehouse I’d only just learned existed. This included the contents of a wood shop where custom guitars are created and donated to charity auctions. The guys at SERVPRO also guided us on how to approach the insurance company and are billing the insurance company directly, taking one more thing off the plates of people who simply didn’t have the bandwidth for one more thing.    I am incredibly grateful for what Aaron was able to do for my family and if you or your clients have a similar situation I would absolutely give him a call, contact information below. He definitely saved the day!

I was in Seattle when I was looking at my nanny camera and realized there was water leaking from the third floor of my home all the way down to the first floor. I was in a panic but SERVPRO of Lexington-Bedford responded to my call so fast. 

There was extensive damage to my home but they took care of it as if it were their own.

I was really happy to have SERVPRO of Lexington-Bedford help me out with my flooded home when the local SERVPRO's were overwhelmed.

We were told that due to the storm we had mold under our home that was affecting our crawlspace. SERVPRO remediated it with no problem and I definitely recommended them to other people I knew who were facing losses.

Our commercial business was badly affected by mold due to Hurricane Matthew and we were lucky to have SERVPRO remediate our office as quickly as they could taking.

Just wanted you to know that Christopher Mack is an exceptional employee. He just came to our home in Chestnut Hill to determine if we had a mold issue (thankfully, we do not!) and he was courteous, professional and very helpful. He suggested we clean out the filters and ducts throughout the house and made my decision very easy.

I think it’s important to let people know when they do a terrific job.

SERVPRO was highly recommended to me as I had my house on the market and there was mold in the basement. 

I was happy to work with them as they were prompt, professional and accommodating!

There was a strong musty smell coming from the attic but I wasn't sure if it was mold and even if it was how I was going to handle it! SERVPRO came out quickly, did an estimate I was happy with and then executed the job!

SERVPRO helped us relieve so much stress! Trying to sell our home we knew we had to remove the mold in the attic first and SERVPRO came right in and took care of our issue!I would definitely use them again if need be.
