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!

Brian was super quick to respond--within a few hours of receiving my email he was out to take a look and make an estimate. He was prompt the following day and completed the work needed, which took him just a couple of hours. I can't say enough about his professionalism. Highly recommended. I'm sure with the storm recently he'll be in high demand, but worth it.

Brian and his team did an amazing job! Brian was kind and considerate and put my fears at ease when he came to review the situation and give me an estimate. His team returned the next day and completed the project professionally and respectfully. His pricing was both competitive and reflective of my situation. I will be recommending their services to all my friends. I will use them again if the need ever arises. Thank you so much for your care and professionalism.

Brian and Lynn of Bio-One were terrific as we went though a very painful time. They were prompt, professional, and left the apartment they cleaned in great shape. I highly recommend them.
Linda Buyer, Cook County, 2020
Brian and Lynn are an absolute pleasure to work with. I needed to use their services during a very difficult time and their professionalism, compassion and promptness went above and beyond what I would expect. They were very understanding of my situation and did a very thorough job both times that I needed them (for cleaning and then junk removal). I cannot recommend Bio-One enough. I will definitely be referring them to everyone I know.
Sam Kinzie, Cook County, 03/2020
Brian and Lynn are reliable, very prompt, communicative, and empathetic. I have worked with them on two separate situations, one involving a dear friend and a multiple home situation. Another situation involved a hoarding tenant. Both times they have been extremely professional and made me feel like our case was solitary focus. They provided detailed reports on end of day and mid day for these bigger jobs and always locked up and communicated about check in and check out of the spaces. In both situations, they listened and learned about the folks with whom they were working to provide search and hold services for specific items. They still hold a weekly appointment longterm to help organize and let go of items in the larger of the two situations mentioned above. In this longer term job, they provide consideration in the items being sorted and removed, discretion, and real care for the person with whom they are working. It was a difficult and very lucky day the day I first called Bio-One. It is a relationship I feel incredibly privileged to continue.
