What our
customers are saying

Julian arrived on time and did a great job cleaning our Carpets. We recommend this service. We will use them again.

Gary Lallensack

The day after the tornado Servpro was at our condo bright and early to start what they do. Besides physical support they were moral support for me. Every time I had a question they did what they could to get me an answer. Always got a call back or a text. What a great company with great employees.

Betty Seaborne

I was blessed to have this company come !! They came from out of state to help with a severe storm that ravaged my area. I had major water damage due to not having power for 4 days . My sump pump overflowed and my lower level was a total loss! They truly helped with MAJOR clean out and were great to answer any questions! I highly recommend this company!

Kristi Locke

As the owner of Timber Trio LLC, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Justine Dunk and the SERVPRO team on multiple reconstruction projects, and the experience has been outstanding every time. Justine is one of the best reconstruction project managers I’ve worked with. She builds strong relationships with her contractors, communicates clearly, stays organized, and keeps projects moving efficiently from start to finish. She treats her subcontractors with professionalism and respect, making it easy for everyone to work together toward the same goal—delivering a quality finished product for the customer. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to coordinate schedules, materials, and inspections help ensure projects stay on track while maintaining high standards. Those qualities create a positive working environment and ultimately benefit the homeowners we serve. SERVPRO is fortunate to have someone like Justine leading their reconstruction projects. Timber Trio LLC appreciates the opportunity to partner with her, and we look forward to working together on many more projects in the future. I highly recommend SERVPRO and Justine Dunk to anyone needing restoration and reconstruction services.

Steve & Michelle Holland

Connor was awesome, great job and polite. Would recommend anytime.

Sandy Nelson

Yesterday I reached out to SERVPRO for some help . I was assisted by Dillon, who was an extremely competent listener, and though the party that I needed to speak with, wasn’t there at the time, he took a message, and promised that I would hear from someone soon. Well, I’m not only heard from someone soon, but it was the boss, Collin. So Dillon’s follow-thru gets a * 10/10*. Colin was tremendously helpful as well. This is not my first rodeo with Servpro. They are extremely competent service providers and I would recommend them wholeheartedly.!

Kate Bomier

quality work at reasonable price. worked with homeowners insurance company and completed work on time. kept me informed along the way

Ellen Kahler

We had a pipe burst and flood the entire house…… mini disaster. Servpro responded immediately, the house had to be taken down to the studs and have a complete overhaul. Glen and Justine and Junelle(insurance) were absolutely amazing. The communication was over the top. It did not matter what time of day I contacted them they answered my concerns immediately. I highly recommend this company for anything you may need done. So the home was completely redone from electrical, plumbing to the finishing touches and it turned out great. Thank you all, I could not have done this with such ease myself.

Kelly Strieder

We cannot recommend this company highly enough! Dealing with water damage is incredibly stressful, but from our very first conversation, ServPro employees showed sincere empathy for our situation and immediately put us at ease. They were always friendly and highly responsive to every message and question we had along the way. We were on a tight timeline with company arriving for Memorial Day weekend, and ServPro treated our deadline with a true sense of urgency. They stayed completely on top of the schedule and showed incredible flexibility. Throughout the entire process, they instilled total confidence. We felt completely reassured that they were doing everything in their power to get the job done right and on schedule. If you want someone who pairs expert work with elite communication and genuine care, I'd highly recommend ServPro!
