When tragedy, trauma, or an unexpected event turns your world upside down, cleanup is often the last thing on your mind. Yet someone has to handle it...
Great work ethic from both crew members! They did an excellent job and I would recommend this service to anyone with my similar situation! Thank you so much! Now, I can open my shed and not feel like some varmint is going to scare me to death! Two thumbs up for sure!! The shed was thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and contents that were contaminated were thrown away and the remaining items were organized and put back by the workers. Glad I found your organization.

Bio-One did a deep clean and rodent extraction of our storage facility. They were great! Everything was removed, sanitized, re-arranged and returned to the storage unit. The staff were friendly, set on their jobs, and very helpful. I would recommend to others.

Angela Kirton is a delight to work with. She is responsive, compassionate, responsible and a true expert in her field of complex clean up projects. Privacy was promised and carried out by her and her team. She stayed in contact from start to finish, giving assurance that the job would be completed on time, with thoroughness. I would highly recommend this company.

Many thanks to PDX Hoarding / Bio-One for their assistance in cleaning up my father’s home this December. From the initial email introduction and phone call, my concerns were put at ease, as this was all new to me. Phill was very calming on the phone, as he knew this was a difficult call that I just made. He assured me that his team was compassionate and professional, as they too had gone through this same ordeal with his own family. Knowing that he comes from a place of empathy was exactly what I needed to hear! Due to COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing guidelines, I provided a typed summary and pictures documenting the issues at hand. From there we scheduled an in-person meeting at the home, for a proper walk-through. He and his wife met me at my father’s house. They were professional, masked up, clipboard in hand and booties on the feet. Upon entering the house, they didn’t break stride due to the smell and overall disarray…they took it all in and that helped me with my internal angst. They asked numerous questions and provided varying solutions. I truly felt at ease with them and knew they had my father’s best interests in mind. Their almost 20 years of experience helped guide me through the process, even pointing out underlying issues I hadn’t even considered. Again, this was very comforting and reinforced their expertise and professionalism. As we moved forward with the cleaning job, they provided an estimate in a timely manner, had quick scheduling opportunities and were able to complete the job in less than eight hours! The cleaning team was friendly, professional and organized. They brought questions and suggestions to us, so we could quickly make calculated decisions. That said, I do recommend for the homeowner or caregiver to have a temporary ‘home base’, just outside of the home. The team moved quickly and everything was being shuffled around, so sitting at the dining table, waiting to answer questions is not the best location. Since the house is temporarily out of commission for making lunch, plan ahead and pack something or consider delivery. All trash items were staged in the driveway and items to be sorted at a later date were in the garage. When my father returned to his house, from the outside, you couldn’t tell that anyone had been there! Upon entering the home, we were greeted with clean hallways and fresh smells. It didn’t smell of vanilla, but more importantly it didn’t smell of industrial cleaning solutions. Whew! We cannot thank PDX Hoarding / Bio-One for their care, attention to detail, professionalism and empathy. They made this difficult task, easier than expected. The total bill was commensurate with the level of service provided and I was grateful for everything. In conclusion, my father was back in his home that evening and he’s in great spirits and pleased with everyone’s efforts. The house is ready to welcome family and friends for the holidays! Thank you Phill and Angela! Regards, Sean & Erin O.

This company blew me away with their excellent service, but even more with the compassionate way they provided cleanup of a tragic event so the parents would not have to face the carnage. I would never use a different company if I ever needed one in the future. This family owned company really cares about the people they serve. I would recommend them for any job. Cleanliness with Care and Compassion. You won't find this anywhere else at this level. Carol Salter President/CEO Easterseals Oregon
