I honestly can't thank Bio One Boston for everything they did during such a tough time for our family. Dave was absolutely the best, very caring and detailed. We hired them to clean out after a death and they were so professional, reliable and comforting. Dave is a wonderful representative for the company and Bruce handled dealing directly with the insurance company which was so helpful. I highly recommend Bio One Boston for all services they offer as we used them for numerous services.

I can't say enough wonderful things about the team from Bio-One. After many years of battling rodents, they came in and cleaned and disinfectd my garage and basement. They were on time, informed, professional and above all, really nice guys. I highly recommend them

Bio-One Boston did an amazing job for our family. Dave and his team were professional and genuinely caring during a difficult time. They went above and beyond and we can't thank them enough!

Told them my budget was $400 and the guy on the phone said it would probably be more than $400 so I said ok I could up my budget a little. They came and did the free estimate and said it would take about 2 hours or to clean up. They then come back with a $1500 quote $750/hr when I was told it was like 250-300/hr or so. Just seems like a ripoff for 2 hours of work and I clearly explained that my budge is $400… Dave was very nice though so nothing against him. He didn’t set the price.

Very happy with Bio-One Boston’s services and highly recommend using them. Bio-One Boston was at a multifamily that I own within 12 hours to clean up a hazardous area. The owner, Bruce, was very receptive and compassionate, and gave me a very fair quote on the companies services. If you are looking to have any hazardous areas cleaned up i wouldn’t hesitate to contact Bruce and his hard working team at Bio-One. Thank you!

Dave at Bio One is the absolute backbone of this company. He was with us from start to finish, was impressively responsive and thorough, and even offered us some insight on unrelated issues from one homeowner to another. He made an atypical biohazard cleaning -- a dedandering of a new household due to severe allergies -- manageable. The quality of work he holds himself to is notable. That isn't to say there weren't _any_ glitches? Dave's team seemed very nice, but did not seem to be as attentive to detail when Dave was (needfully) absent for parts of the job. In addition to missing some spots here and there, a team member actively went against instructions, and put a bottle of cleaner on a surface that /specifically/ isn't supposed to have that cleaner on it -- to the point that we noted what cleaners should be avoided there. They could have ruined our kitchen's granite countertop. But we were able to restore it ourselves, and they handled the (minimal) cost of the materials for that fix. There were a couple places the adhesive for shelf paper was still left even after the second time through, but we ended up handling hat ourselves. Full Disclosure: Most people seek out Biohazard companies because of a tragedy, and those circumstances often involve insurance covering at least part of the costs. Ours was entirely out of pocket. To set expectations for those who need to do similar things: Biohazard cleanings are EXPENSIVE. But given the materials they use, the negative pressure areas they set up, etc., it's usually a one-time thing that makes the cost worth it. As long as Dave is at this company, I'd use Bio One again.

"UPDATE: We'll be using them again for a(n unexpected) biohazard cleanup. The cleanup requires a specific treatment for one surface, with a cleaning material we purchase ourselves. We should also note that Dave made it clear he can't guarantee his presence at the job for the entire time due to the emergent nature of their work. We'll keep folks posted.

We had a blood incident in an apartment and hallways at a multi-family property we own. Since there were other tenants living in the building it was important to get a cleanup ASAP. The police on scene referred us to Bio-One Boston. They were very responsive and gave me a realistic time frame when they could be there. After arriving, explaining the process and setting up, the three of them began the clean up. The team worked efficiently and the job was completed in a few hours. All areas were cleaned and sanitized as promised. Thank you Bio-One for being there and helping me deal with this stressful situation!
