What our
customers are saying
My basement flooded while I was away, leaving everything sodden and mold-covered. SERVPRO did a first-rate job hauling away all the destroyed property, and then leaving the basement ready for reconstruction. Following this phase, I contracted with Chris and Jessica Goedeke, also with SERVPRO, to reconstruct the ruined basement. Chris and his team of workmen completed an excellent restoration of my once devastated basement, and at a fair price. Everyone involved was professional and congenial to work with.
We’ve used SERVPRO of Annapolis/Severna Park in the past. We called this time, because we had a leak in the humidifier for the house. If you have water damage, call them!
I called SERVPRO of Annapolis/Severna Park, because I had no hot water. They are good people, and I recommend them.
SERVPRO of Annapolis/Severna Park has always done an outstanding job! From general cleaning to water cleanup, they are always there with a prompt response.
My husband and I had a flood in our basement and SERVPRO came in and took care of everything. Everyone who came to our house, whether it was for remediation, wall repair, painting, or carpet was on time and courteous. Chris from SERVPRO was so great to work with and easy to reach by email. I’m hoping we won’t need their services again soon, but if we do we will definitely call SERVPRO! Our basement turned out great!
We had a rather difficult job, SERVPRO came through and got the job done, on time and for a fair price. We called two other companies. One never called back and the other guy said he couldn't do it. We used SERVPRO again last week on a flooded basement. The crew was there fast and did a great job. Not looking forward to another flood, but when it happens we know who to call. Thanks for everything you and your team have done for NSAN Investments LLC.
On a Saturday morning we woke to a fire in our garage smoking up the whole house. SERVPRO was there within the hour of calling them with industrial HEPA filters/air purifiers and began working on the remedying the smoke damage. They hand wiped every item in the house; cleaned the walls, ceilings and furniture over the next week weeks. All the staff during this time were incredibly professional, courteous and patient with my questions during this incredibly stressful time and their work was top notch.
More recently, in cleaning out my father's house we found a number of family documents and heirlooms that strongly smelled of mildew. We called SERVPRO and asked if they could help. Craig came out quickly to assess the work and explained the process. I would not trust just anyone with these heirlooms. They removed all of the smells, on everything! Again the people who work her are great, professional, patient, trustworthy and do great work! Highly recommend.
I happy to say that HACA has used SERVPRO for several sewage backups. They have responded in a timely manner and does a professional job. I would recommend this company to others.
We use SERVPRO more than we would choose to. Their response time is great in emergency situations and they are a pleasure to deal with. The work is outstanding and I would recommend them.
