We retained Bio One to remove some furniture before my mother's house was sold. Brian came to the house promptly to review what needed to be moved and provide us with an estimate. We liked that Bio One has typical business insurance coverages in place. Some competitors are run more like side gigs without such protections. We also liked that Bio One would deliver anything in condition to donate to Habitat for Humanity. Some competitors will often pitch much of what they pick up and can't find someone to buy/take from them. Brian and his team clearly have moved furniture many times before, and were very effective and professional in clearing the house. We had 1-2 challenging pieces they figured out how to move cleanly. They kept us advised throughout the process and finished well within the time estimates they provided. The pricing seems comparable and competitive with other doing similar work. They also are very personable and easy to work with. My brother decided to keep a bookcase. Bio One had a job the next day near where he lives; Brian and his wife delivered the bookcase to my brother at no additional charge. We would use Bio One again for similar work, and will recommend them to friends and family.

Brian and his team's service was amazing. Sadly, my neighbor recently passed away and had been dead for a week. The fire department had to break down his door and the coroner had to remove him, and my condo and our entire tier was overcome with the horrible smell that comes with a situation like that. My neighbor's family was out of town and could not be here for 3 days, so we had to move quickly or our building would have been uninhabitable. I got a crash course in finding a company that did this type of work and the reviews were horrible. The only one I found that was not was Bio-One Chicago North. I called him on Sunday at 1PM. He and his team were here by 3:30PM and went to work. They explained exactly what they were going to do and why and got to the business at hand. They spent over 3 hours here, and removed all of the bio materials-which included tearing up all the carpet and wood flooring-and disposed of them in hazmat bags/boxes that were then taken to a hazardous material company to be destroyed. They also set up a machine that took out the rest of the smell. By the time they left, I didn't have to wear a mask and my neighbor's place smelled normal. This was especially important as my neighbor's family was coming to an already tough situation and Brian's work made at least one part of it easier. Brian even came back for additional maintenance to ensure all the smell was gone and the scene was cleaned up. Brian's excellent: his service, his professionalism, his follow through, his reasonable price. Bio-One Chicago North is now the clean up company for our condo management company and I will definitely call him for other services such as removal of household goods, cleaning, and hauling. I highly recommend Bio-One North. Ken Cherry, Treasurer, Sheridan Court Condo Association.

Brian and Dominic are professional, honest, and a hardworking team. We had to have my parents home cleaned out to sell in Niles. They were able to put us on the calendar within a week and the personal responsiveness and follow up was exceptional. Happy to recommend this team to anyone that needs a clean out! Thanks, Judy

Brian and his partner stopped by to inspect our house after a smell of mold. Within 10 minutes they were able to locate the source and put a plan of action together. Great customer service!

Amazing work, great communication, and friendly people. I cannot recommend them enough.

Lynn and Brian went above and beyond with the job I had for them at the Apollo Theater in Lincoln Park. They not only dealt with the delicate situation with expertise, but also with a kindness and humanity that I greatly appreciated. The work they did was prompt and thorough, and the cost of the job was well-priced. I don't often need a biohazard clean up team, but if I ever need one again, there is no doubt in my mind that I will reach out to Lynn and Brian. Recommend.

Bio-One Chicago North is trustworthy and I highly recommend their services. They made an unpleasant incident with my Mom with Alzheimer’s turn out to be bearable. They came to our house, the same day, assessed the situation and got to work. They were so understanding and professional.

Brian and his team helped my family take care of a tough cleaning job during a medical emergency. Brian was so kind, understanding, and quick to respond. The price he quoted us was far more affordable than other companies we had look at the place. Him and his team were super hard working and did a great job! Thank you Brian and co for all your hard work!
