We hired the CleanUp Guys for mold removal in our garage and after a leak in our house from our roof. Mike and team were incredibly professional and communicative. The quote was reasonable and included drywall and painting to restore the inside of our house to look better than it did before they started work. They did a great job on our garage as well, removing a lot of mold from the ceiling. I'd highly recommend them!

Heavy rain caused our finished basement to backup with water. This was our first experience with having a major home problem and using our home insurance. I can not say enough good things about Sherm (owner)… and his responsiveness and going above and beyond to help us out. The Clean Up Guys were the 3rd phone I made and not only did they answer they came out that day! Less than 24 hrs after all heck broke loose. Huge shout out to Julius and his Crew. He came in, analyzed the situation and called for more of his crew to come. They worked hard and were efficient. Our basement is clean, dry

Big thanks to The CleanUP Guys for helping clean up our basement after our business had basement flooding due to large amounts of stormwater runoff. Such a big job, and they left our basement sparkling clean. They were fast, professional, and incredibly responsive to our needs.

Mike Cooney and Nacho were amazing! Incredible service and solid people. Water damage is always stressful so when you have a team that is incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and attentive, it makes the experience as positive as it can be. I highly recommend this crew and this business

We had a wonderful experience with The Clean Up Guys. We worked with Cesar. Our basement is old and was terribly filthy. They did an amazing and thorough job, I could not be happier! The price was right and they were helpful and very professional. I will be using them for any future needs and I highly recommend them.

This company is awesome! They we able to address an emergency after normal business hours. They were responsive and professional. Damage to a home is never ideal, however a company this experienced makes the situation a lot more easy to deal with. I recommend them to ANYONE that needs restoration services done right and with expediency.

Had an appointment for a water damage inspection on my condo about a week in advance. No one showed up, no one called. Not very professional. I went against the bad reviews on here saying they don't show up, but unfortunately it definitely turned out to be true.

I can't say enough good things about the service. Mike was extremely responsive and helpful. The discussion and follow up quote was prompt and professional. The crew showed up on time and was friendly. We had a basement with 80 years of dirt and dust. The walls and floor needed to be power washed and then sealed. There was chipping paint and numerous other obstacles. On Day 1 of 2 we returned home and the basement was immaculate. I don't know how they did it. The equipment was impeccably packed up and the basement was airing out as Mike originally stated. Day 2 was painting day

We needed mold remediation as a condition to sell our house. We contacted the CleanUP Guys, we settled on $800 or so for services, and they were able to resolve, remove, remediate the patches of mold in our basement within 1 business day after the initial site visit.

They provided a mold remediation certificate shortly thereafter which served as evidence to the buying attorney that we handled the mold in our basement.

We are happy customers. Recommended!

These guys charged 4x as much than other companies in the area to do the same exact job. Be sure to get quotes from other companies before awarding work to this company. When we inquired why there costs were so much higher they couldn't explain and stated "they are a for profit" company.

I couldn't recommend The CleanUP Guys more. We were assigned general contractor, Mike C. and his team. Ensure you ask for Mike when requesting a team. Sherman (owner) was very responsive in his emails as well.

Mike and his team restored our basement to its former glory after it was destroyed by a broken sump pump. The company that we hired to perform the water mitigation did not do as thorough of a job, however Mike and his team rectified all of that without a second thought.

To say we are happy is an understatement. Our basement is even better than before.

The CleanUp guys are Phenomenal! The lead technician Cesar explained all of the problems and scenarios with his initial assessment. We had major water damage from a leak in my basement. I was initially devastated since I had items that have been Passed from generation to generation stored in the basement. I thought everything would have to be thrown out ( Assessment from previous company, I won't mention names), but Cesar explained the three types of water damage and reassured me I had the "clean water" type and most of my items would be salvaged and at a much more reasonable price

Hired this company to do water mitigation, And wrongly trusted that they would do a comprehensive job. Now we are finding out that they pretty much ignored removing water from under the floors, and I am dealing with a nightmare. Their only response to this is that I must have had some subsequent incident. Which is absolutely ridiculous. As though I wouldn't know if there was a subsequent incident. As the new company that came to appraise for wall eebuild said "this water mitigation company didn't do you any favors."

We had a pre-weekend flood from a running toilet in our basement. The insurer said they wouldn't be able to get out until the following Monday. I called Friday morning and Sherman and his crew showed up late that day and worked into the evening to contain the problem. They quickly assessed the extent of the damage, recommended a plan of action, and… had removed and treated the flooded areas within hours of arriving. Every step of the way they were punctual, professional and polite.
I have two areas of mild concern, neither of which would keep me from hiring these guys again. First, they

If you have a mess or a problem call Sherm at The Cleanup Guys. Sherm was easy to get ahold of and their crew came right out and cleaned the dirty water from our carpet. We were worried we would have to replace it, but it came out looking like it was brand new. Thank you Sherm!
