I would like to highly recommend Brian and Lynn from Bio - One we met through networking and being in the real estate market I come into many situations and work with many families. Brian and Lynn specialize in Mold remediation, helping with families that has a member that Hoarding problem, disinfectant for COBIT 19 these are just a few things that they do. I have total trust in them for their compassionate and discrete service. I believe they cover all of northern Illinois and eastern counties James Smith RE/MAX showcase

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 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.

Brian and his team are professional, compassionate, reassuring, and excellent at clean-ups. Because of them, I woke up in a clean house today. They live to help people, and they change lives for the better. Don't be afraid to call them when you need help -- truly compassionate help is found here. I am so thankful for them.

Fantastic experience working with Brian, Lynn and the crew. Super responsive, listened to all instructions, treated the place with respect and did a fantastic job. Even came in under the original estimate. Made a tough situation so much easier to deal with. Would not hesistate to hire again and absolutely 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.

From my first phone call Brian was a pleasure to deal with despite the difficult circumstances of a residential clean up. He was professional and still warm and understanding. The crew was the same way. They were prompt in responding to any inquiry and were worth every cent of their fee and then more.
