What our
customers are saying
I highly recommend SERVPRO of Lakeland. I have worked with Zack Sloan on many occasions. As a roofer, we run into water damage often. SERVPRO responds quickly and works diligently to get our home owners back to normal. Thank you SERVPRO of Lakeland.
SERVPRO made this process much easier for me with their professionalism and the way the communicated with me every step of the way.
Robert and his team are fantastic. Anytime we come across an emergency with possible water damage, they are the people we call. They are incredibly reliable and are quick to action
We have used SERVPRO of Lakeland for many years to clean carpets. Our entire family trusts Larry and his crew to always do the best job.
We have two rescued greyhounds and as you can imagine, the carpet gets pretty dirty with the way they track in everything from the backyard. Larry Riddle of SERVPRO of Lakeland sent his crew over to clean our carpets and I was very pleased with how they turned out in the end. I would definitely recommend SERVPRO of Lakeland for cleaning all types of flooring.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with the amazing team at SERVPRO on numerous occasions. I own a local insurance agency, and my clients call me when they have major water damage. My first call is to SERVPRO. They always answer the phone, and within minutes my client is talking to a local and live person. I know that my clients will be treated with respect, and dealt with in an honest and urgent manner. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Robert and his team are nothing short of amazing! From deep carpet cleaning to mold remediation and disaster cleanup after floods and fires they are quick and responsive. Always available 24/7 and ready to serve. Thank you for your dedication!
Absolutely amazing work, from showing up the night of the incident and helping clean up all the water to working diligently days after so we could get to normal as soon as possible.
These guys are awesome, professionals, responsible and very respectful. They got to the house on time every day trying to work as fast and efficient as they possibly could. I have a lot of respect for this company and I would use them again (hopefully not needed again) and recommend them to anyone that I know.
