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.

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.

My family and I engaged Bio-One Boston after we discovered the extent of our sibling's hoarding issue after their unexpected death (of natural causes outside of the home). We were overwhelmed, and David came out the day after I called to provide an estimate, and was able to schedule the work within a week, which was so appreciated as it could be done before I had to return to my home out of state. My sibling had a one-family home, and Bio-One's team of 3 were able to clear clutter and create paths so we could enter the rooms, while also thoughtfully and kindly identifying mail, banking items, and personal jewelry that were important and meaningful for my family to have. Day 3 was dedicated to cleaning, and without hesitation they scrubbed down the bathrooms and kitchen, while the family sorted through items that we wanted to keep and those that could go. We were able to fill two dumpsters, and the team also removed furniture (chairs, couches, mattresses) and even the fridge. They offered to appropriately dispose of mail that otherwise would have needed to be shredded, and honorably dispose of well-used American flags. There was nothing we asked that they did not have a solution for. The service is expensive, but you honestly do get what you pay for - professional, sensitive, and high quality help for overwhelming tasks in a time of crisis.

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!

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!

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 did a cleanup job for me. They were available within a few days of when I needed the work done, came on time, and did a good job. There was a complication. A thief stole Boston Bio-One's owner's email login and from that email account, asked me to transfer the payment via ACH. Bruce, the owner, handled the issue very well. Thanks Bruce!
