Had some mold where a refrigerator had leaked. They were very responsive and came out a few days later. They did a fantastic job at the same price it costs to just get a quote from other mold removal services in the area. Highly recommend and would utilize again if needed

Rigo Melendez and his staff, Daniella and Elijah are fantastic! We initially contacted them for help with rodent droppings in my parent's house, but they did so much more than we ever expected! They disinfected the whole house, discarded contaminated furniture & rugs, mopped, wiped down walls, and painted the ceiling in the LR and kitchen to remove nicotine stains. And more important, they were so caring, thoughtful, and worried about our well-being. We highly recommend this wonderful business that literally saved our lives!

An insurmountable task was quickly turned to surmountable. Rigo Melendez and his team responded to our plea for help. My father-in-law passed away and we needed to quickly clear out his house before we left town. Bio-One worked to clear all of the furniture, clothing, food and knick knacks. During the process, they checked in with us to determine if something was valuable or if we wanted to keep an item. The items in the house went to Food Finders, Salvation Army and other charities. We have a receipt for the household goods from each place. We can breathe again knowing that the insurmountable is finished.

Bio-One was a godsend in a time of need - quick, efficient, and most importantly kind during some of the worst days of my life. Everyone who came to safely clear the hazardous remains of a family member went above and beyond to ensure the job was done and to provide support to me and my family. I cannot recommend this service enough, should you have the misfortune to need it.

I hired Rigo and his crew over a year ago right before Covid for a lot of reasons and they did everything for me. They became family to me really quickly and I’ll never take that back it’s a really great relationship these people do everything and I love them back for all the hard work. After a few months apart I needed more work done to get out of my home and tomorrow they did that for me and I realize that is not their main job but they did it anyway for me that’s a step up their standup people Rigo and everybody in his crew I adore everybody. I would absolutely recommend them for any job I trust him wholeheartedly and that will never waiver ever I am a lifelong friends
