    Simon is our Sales and Marketing Manager at SERVPRO of Upper West Side. He brings a great amount of enthusiasm, which is being channeled into increasing the footprint of our brand. The move is on to network with commercial agencies, charities, and trade groups along with our residential neighbors. Simon is local himself, raised in Brooklyn but now living in the Bronx. He is involved in the 92nd Street Y Gala which provides many local services to our neighbors. A very worthy charity. Simon, when not working hard to generate business for our SERVPRO franchise, enjoys playing basketball and staying on top of fantasy leagues. He also enjoys reading science fiction, geography, and food blogging. Simon is a key member of our team.

What our
customers are saying

Extremely responsive and incredibly professional and neat. Made our damaged area ready for renovation in just a few days. Highly recommend.

Rebecca Barreras

Our entire basement flooded after a heavy rainstorm. ServePro came the next day to assess the damage and provide us with solutions. The Operations Manager, Gianpiero, was not only competent and professional but worked with his team to get the job done in a timely manner. He was also compassionate in understanding how difficult it was for us to cope with the loss of lots of sentimental items that accumulate over many years in a basement. We are grateful for his help.

Catherine Bala

After a flood in my basement I called Servpro of Upper Westside late on a Friday evening. Damian contacted me early Saturday and came very quickly to access the damage. From that point on Damian worked with my Insurance Company and coordinated all the vendor work that I needed. Every phone call, text and email from me (and there were many!) was responded to quickly and professionally. I always felt they were looking out for my best interest and to make sure my repairs were done smoothly and to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Servpro of Upper Westside and their team.

Jennifer Valderrama

Ben Vargas and his team went above and beyond in servicing my home after a fire. He was referred to us by our public adjuster and was so attentive to our every need from cleaning, discarding packing, storing and moving and everyone was polite and followed Covid 19 protocol thought the entire process. I would definitely recommend his company and the quality service and professionalism they provide!

Lee Federico

Servepro was there for my family during a very traumatic evening when my house sustained severe smoke damaged from a fire. Our family didn’t know what to do and where to start. The owner assured me he would help. He waited with us patiently. He spoke to my insurance for me while we were in distress. He took care of everything. He was patient and explained everything to me and was always available to answer our questions. We are very thankful to the owner and his amazing crew. I highly recommend you reach out to them with any home emergencies.

Fabian Wander

I cannot express enough gratitude to Servpro of Upper West Side. The crew came to rescue and took care of it all. The workers were polite, clean and very professional in what they did. Highly recommend.

Jorley Molinares

I had a fire in my apartment that started in my kitchen. After the fire department left Ben from Servpro of the upper west side was extremely helpful! We got an estimate and they quickly got to work. Two days later the smell of the smoke was completely gone. The soot was gone from all the surfaces and cabinets in my kitchen. It was clean and done with such professionalism. The price was fair and I was more satisfied. I recommend Servpro of the upper west side to all families that have lost their homes from floods, fires, and etc.

Kassandra Vargas

Kitchen flood at 1am - servepro picked up immediately - on site with equipment - total pros. They came back for insurance walk-through with digital readouts and backup for claims. Negotiating with agents became a non-issue. Well done.

About Us

A Local Team That Treats Restoration Personally

Property damage in the Upper West Side often comes with extra moving parts. A leak in an apartment may involve a neighbor downstairs. A commercial cleanup may need approval from a management office. A mold concern near Central Park may require careful access, quiet coordination, and a team that understands shared buildings are their own kind of puzzle.

SERVPRO helps homeowners, tenants, co-op boards, property managers, and business owners with water damage restoration, fire cleanup, mold remediation, commercial restoration, specialty cleaning, contents support, and more.

Built on Pride in the Work

This team describes itself as a family, and that shows in the way they approach each job. The goal is simple: do the work with care, communicate clearly, and help clients feel supported during a stressful situation.

The owner and production manager, Jonathan, is IICRC certified, and office manager Jazmin is EPA certified. The team is certified for water losses and fire claims, experienced with mold remediation, and familiar with commercial losses involving clients and management offices. SERVPRO also provides dry cleaning services for damaged contents after fire-related damage.

Serving Upper West Side Homes and Businesses

From buildings near the Joan of Arc monument to busy residential and commercial spaces throughout the neighborhood, SERVPRO brings practical restoration support with a personal touch.
