What our
customers are saying
I was so pleased with how my home looked when we came back. Thanks to the entire SERVPRO team.
I think the Wood River Valley should know that if you ever need help--call SERVPRO of Wood River Valley.
I cannot even tell where the damage happened, and it used to be everywhere. The team did a great job.
Couldn't have got through this devastating experience without your help and hand-holding. Thank you for helping us to save some of our prized possessions and put our lives back together.
I don't usually leave reviews, but I also don't usually have a reason to talk about superior customer service and fast restoration work. Great job.
Our pipes froze and split, and then thawed while we were away. The water ran for weeks and soaked the entire house. We thought it was a total loss, but SERVPRO of Wood River Valley saved it, dried it out and put it all back together in record time. They communicated with us almost every day through the process and it has been such a relief to have people who know what they are doing. Needless to say, we are very impressed and can highly recommend this company.
Two thumbs up, and five gold stars, for the amazing team that completed work on a project in my apartment this afternoon.
Thanks SERVPRO, amazing job in the cleanup of our damaged home. We are so pleased.
The SERVPRO group got to us quick, worked efficiently, and finished our clean up in three days. Very satisfied customer here.
