"We had a terrific experience with ServiceMaster. Sam and his crew were a pleasure to work with. He was prompt with his initial response, took the time needed to carefully inspect our basement and describe exactly what was needed, and completed the promised work under budget and to perfection. In addition to a job well done, he also seemed to treat his crew very well. He was careful to make certain we knew their names before he departed, and the entire team was professional and communicative any time we had questions. Highly recommended."

"ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons could not have been a better partner in getting through a recent rain water infiltration episode at my lakefront high-rise rental condo. These guys were prompt, professional and productive from the moment I called frantically looking for help right through final pick-up of their moisture mitigating equipment the next week. All the while, their excellent customer service approach kept me informed + updated (aka: "calm") about the processes being utilized to dry the unit out, remove the damaged flooring materials, etc. and help ward off secondary loss. Obviously, I hope to never experience another disaster like this, but, if I do, I know having ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons as a resource will help me endure and emerge with my property protected and my sanity intact."
