This is the second time I have used Bio-One PDX for cleaning and I plan on using them for more projects in the future. They are professional, efficient and truly care about the work they do. I highly recommend their services; it is worth every penny.

My experience with Bio-One, from start to finish, was the best. I had no idea what a (damp) basement clean out would cost, but it had to be done. Phil and Angela were kind, realistic, prompt, worked with me to get it into my budget, and then did it in one day with hustle. They're good, good people, running a family-owned business that really cares. Five stars.

Society does not teach us that an unattended death is possible, and how challenging it can be. Phill, Angela and their team went above and beyond in their professionalism, courtesy, empathy, compassion, and thorough response to a clean up of a rental apartment after my mother died. A simple example of their care is that Phill reminded me gently that I did not have to re-enter the apartment while it was still a bio-hazard site, I could instead wait a few feet away in the hall as he let himself in. This thoughtfulness ran through all of their efforts to check with me and the landlord about the clean up and restoration process. I hired them for a phase 1 bio-hazard clean up and then for a phase 2 removal of items/deep clean. I don't have words to express how grateful I am for their support through these services at this difficult time. In the property manager's words: "they made it easy for us to replace the carpet and linoleum; there's not a lot to say in the walk through as they left it so clean...they even cleaned the blinds, wow (admiration in his voice as he lowered and raised them". I recommend them with all my gratitude.

"Given the kind of work that Bio-One does -- cleaning-up horrendous messes -- they're not likely to get a lot of customers who will write reviews on Yelp. That's a shame, because these wonderful people deserve mountains of praise for what they do and the great way they do it. I had a relative who needed their services recently and we found Bio-One's entire crew to embody all the good adjectives: professional, kind -- so, so, kind --, honest, caring, patient, fast, thorough ... I could go on. Most of all, they enjoy helping people and bring a lot of heart to what they do and that made the hard work easier to bear. On a more tactical level, they use mostly their own employees, not day laborers. That's a major reason we chose them and, I think, that has much to do with how thrilled we are with their work. So, if you are in the unfortunate position of needing their kind of services, then you have my sympathies and one emphatic recommendation to use Bio-One."

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.
