SERVPRO of Downtown Minneapolis/Team Bates & Hogan
Cory Bates
Cory, the owner of our 11 franchises, has been with SERVPRO for 21 years. He began his professional career in the United States Navy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), operating throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans and completing two tours in the Arabian Gulf. As an Aircraft Director on the ship’s flight deck, Cory was responsible for the safe and efficient launch and recovery of aircraft, managing the movement of people and equipment, and ensuring their combined safety.
After his honorable discharge, Cory returned home to study East Asian Language and Culture at the University of Kansas. He then embarked on a career in property restoration. Drawing from his training and experience in the high-stakes environment of an aircraft carrier’s flight deck, Cory has successfully built his business and managed complex projects. He takes pride in his team and their achievements, as the company has grown to become one of the largest and most respected operators in the SERVPRO system.
“Our goal has never been to be the biggest, but it has always been to be the very best,” Cory says. He is grateful that SERVPRO has given him the opportunity to engage with the community through various charities and local outreach programs, including Ronald McDonald House, Big Brothers Big Sisters KC, Kids TLC, Variety KC, and the Maranatha Family Worship Center.

What our
customers are saying
We found mold in our bathroom and didn't know what to do. We did a quick Google search and found this team to help us out. They answered on the first call and had someone helping us the same day.
Great COVID cleaning team! Quick with their cleaning process. I recommend them to everyone!
After a storm came through Minnesota, our office space was under water from the rain. We didn't know what to do about removing the water until we called SERVPRO. They helped us immensely, especially since we are a small business and needed to get back to work.
Jon and the crew did a great job cleaning up our basement after a water heater failure that flooded several rooms. They came out on short notice, assessed the problem, and had the water cleaned up and drying equipment set up within a few hours. Very professional and friendly. Would definitely use them again, and recommend to others!
We found mold under our kitchen sink and needed to get it removed! Luckily, we called SERVPRO and after their inspection, they found more mold we weren't even aware of. Thankfully, we called SERVPRO and they could fix it for us.
Great team and very responsive! Easy to communicate with the project manager, too!! Thank you, SERVPRO!
No one does it like SERVPRO of Downtown Minneapolis! They work quickly and respond fast!
They were at our house in no time to help after some flooding issues! Great team of people to work with.
We had a major leak in our bathroom that SERVPRO was able to remedy and cleanup. Thanks SERVPRO!
