I just had a great experience with this team. I fell on some hard times with constant injuries over the last year and the state of my apartment was really embarrassing. They came in and were just super friendly and professional. They were very discrete with my neighbors and completed the work in half the time they estimated they would need. My apartment looks fantastic and they went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed.

I would highly recommend Bio-One Cleanup. I had a home that was in very bad shape and would have taken me months to cleanup. In one day that had everything out of the house and made my job so much easier. Joel and his entire staff were very professional during the job. They always made sure if they found something that may interest me to let me know before they discarded anything. Joel and his crew are excellent!!

Great experience, respectful and fast-working!

Professional, caring, extremely helpful. And very caring. I cannot recommend this company enough. I would give them five stars. They had to deal with an absolute mess and they did it with respect and kindness. I do not know what we would've done without them because this project was way too much for two people to handle.

Joel Akers conducted an onsite review of the scope of work and provided an estimate to completely clean out three houses and six garages in a small community in Northern Iowa. A collaborative agreement was reached and Joel and team started work approximately a month later. The scope of work was accomplished in five days. The team worked steadily at the job and were professional and friendly. Joel arranged all large dumpsters needed for the job. Basic cleanup was accomplished at each work site. Each day they had us review certain items per our criteria to determine whether to hold or dispose. The volume of work accomplished was significant. I recommend Bio One; they are easy to talk to and work with!

The service and crew were amazing. They did an outstanding job and were so compassionate and kind. Above and beyond. I can’t say enough wonderful things about them.

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!
