After moving in the middle of a very hectic year our garage became completely unmanageable. I tried some professional organizers and they weren’t interested in doing a garage. That lead me to googling hoarding clean out companies. I found bio-one. They were professional and efficient, even when I was frustrated and overwhelmed. We got our garage cleaned out in 4 hours. It would have taken my husband and I days (we don’t have) and a divorce to get this done. I know this wasn’t their specialty, but if I required their services for trauma, crime scene, or extreme hoarding, I would absolutely trust them.

The Bio-One team were wonderful. They were timely, caring and they worked hard. The project had been sitting there for a couple of years and in one day it was done. The crew was very kind and helpful. Thank you so much!

Unfortunate circumstances led to needing assistance on short notice and Bio-One not only stepped up to the task, they exceeded our expectations! Professional, personable, respectful, and kind. This group is hard working, extremely thorough, and takes their work seriously. Thank you, Isaac, Grant, and Bob! You were life savers in many ways for us today and we highly recommend you!!

My wife and I feel very blessed we found Bio one. They took the time to listen what we needed done and offered some ideas that we over looked. They didn't judge the situation we were in. The crew was very friendly, professional and cared about the job we needed done. I definitely recommend BIO ONE.

They were quick, efficient, and incredibly kind. They were even willing to work around my 2 cats. If you need help getting your home back under control when the trash gets too much I 100% recommend them. My apartment feels brand new

after making the call It was suggested that I refer to Joel as my friend when convincing a relative to have their home cleaned out after many years of hoarding. “My friend” Joel coached me thru an overwhelming situation. Joel and his team were wonderful to work with. Bio-One’s kindness and professional expertise got my family thru quite an ordeal. My family member has a healthy living situation now thanks to my trusted friend.

Bio-One did an awesome job! I hired them to clean up my old, 100 year old, creepy basement which isn’t the type of thing they normally do (they are used to much more difficult jobs!). The owner came by for a free estimate and got my basement cleaned the next week. The staff were respectful and kind. They set out all of my belongings, let me go through them, and disposed of the items I didn’t want. Most importantly, the basement is squeaky clean now!! Would recommend!
