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!

Thank you Rigo and crew for all you did today. Given the situation, everyone was very comforting and professional. Great work at a reasonable price and done right. Y’all rule.

Rigo Melendez and his crew were wonderful! Not only did they do a great job cleaning the space, but they were great at communicating, and incredibly kind and non-judgmental during a difficult time with my mom. Highly recommend! They went above and beyond to help us.

These guys right here are doing some amazing work! I was so touched by the initial call with Joe who expressed sincere concern for our situation and genuinely comforted us. May these brothers be blessed, guided, and protected by Our Heavenly Father. Their honorable public service careers before embarking on this franchise speaks volumes about their qualification, let alone becoming certified in the collective aspects that make up the unique line of business. Professionals all the way! Equip with all the necessary knowledge, Strong and experienced to handle the most unfathomable situations. Human beings, amazing human beings, with copious amounts of empathy and compassion. Rare, underrated and under recognized. Definitely EL PASO STRONG! The very epitome of the phrase. I am so grateful for the encounter and look forward to doing business with them. I will gladly promote them and would love to nominate them for El Paso Texas number one best business in town. A model example of what a business should be.

100 % HIGHLY RECOMMEND the services of Bio-One. Super long review but these guys deserve it. I was unexpectedly handed a very bad, messy situation. I found Bio-One online and submitted a service request through their website. I was promptly contacted by Joe. I was surprised because it was late but relieved. He was nonjudgmental, professional, empathetic, and kind. Let's face it, the reasons they need to be called aren't the best. He explained their process and we agreed on a day for an initial assessment of the property. John met me at the property. He was prompt and extremely professional. He did the assessment and gave his professional opinion. He was nonjudgmental and honest. He will level with you, no-nonsense. For these guys, there is a standard they hold themselves to. They are extremely hard working no matter the situation or what the situation brings. They will push through it all. Any questions, or concerns, they will address it all until you are satisfied. They will ask you for your expectations, and any wishes like items to look for and save. Joe and John will give you the truth and reality of the situation. They will not lead you on and lie. I was able to put complete trust into their process. Sometimes you have to realize that items cannot be saved. If you ask their opinion, they will give it to you. That quality alone was extremely helpful. This situation was highly stressful and unexpected so honesty and reality checks were greatly appreciated. I have to give a shout-out to The A-Team- Larry, Eric, and Kayla. They were awesome and so professional! The clean-up required took longer than expected. I was completely fine with the timeline because when they show up they work and they work hard. They will not cut corners and continue to work on a problem until it is resolved. If there is something that is not in their area of expertise they will level with you and point you in the right direction. I was able to leave and take care of other issues that arose with complete confidence in The Bio-One Team and never did they disappoint. If any questions came up, they would promptly contact me or I would call them. Amazing communication. I could not believe the end results. The difference was night and day. They are absolute miracle workers. The pricing was reasonable but their work is priceless. So much of it is pure labor. Hard labor and they never complain, never make excuses. Their work ethic is admirable. All team members have outstanding personalities and they turn a terrible situation into a positive experience. I can never thank them enough for what they did, what they accomplished. I am so glad I found Bio-One and would recommend them to anyone in need of their specialty services BAR NONE. Joe and John are highly respectable individuals who served our country and now serve the community, very down to Earth! We are lucky to have them running Bio-One in El Paso. ❤️

PHENOMENONAL!!!! Professional, compassionate, friendly, efficient, effective, timely, communicative, honest, and a good work ethic! Shout out and thank you to John, Joe, Eric, Larry and the entire Bio One team and their affiliates! Well worth more than five stars. Bottom line: There pricing is reasonably affordable and they are willing to work with you on payment options. You could hire a cheaper company. However, the quality and care you receive from the BioOne team, is priceless. With grace and compassion, they make an extremely stressful situation more managable. They not only do the job but share resources, information and conversations to create sustainable changes. They are happy people and a joy to work with! I was visiting a parent from out of town. I called Bio One for hoarding clean up of their house. John answered my phone call immediately and was able to come assess the house three hours later. My parent kept explaining and apologizing as we walked through the house. John was kind and compassionate, listened to them and was nonjudgemental. He made my parent feel understood, validated, and safe. My parent trusted John and relaxed. THIS WAS KEY for them to find the courage to say yes to John and Bio One cleaning the hoard out. John also noticed (my grandfather's) veteran items and as a veteran himself connected with my parent on this topic and offered us a wonderful military discount. As I was in town for a short time, John and his team were flexible with my schedule and I was able to book a cleaning ASAP. John and Joe were outstanding with communication over the next few days. I recommend using color-coded Post-It notes for labeling items in hoarding house situations. My parent and I went through the house and labeled items with the word ""keep"" on orange notes, ""trash"" on pink notes, etc. This helped my family and the team go quickly through the job. Three days later when the team came they were amazing with communicating with me over text and phone calls. They asked questions, brought up any issues to my attention, kept me informed of where they were with their work. My parent had dogs and without asking, Larry (Bio One team) took care of them. He made sure they had water, shade, snacks and plenty of love! Eric noticed my parent's lawn movers and without judging the multiple amounts, connected with my parent on small engine repairs. Overall, Bio One comes with my highest recommendation. Two months later seeing the mental transformation and awareness of my parent is a gift. My family is motivated to make life long changes and to me that's worth everything. I would hire the El Paso Bio One team in a heartbeat. This is the first review I have posted because the results were life-changing!!!
