What our
customers are saying
I was scared of scams after my high-rise had severe storm damage. Your decades in the business and recommendations from my family and friends are why SERVPRO was my first choice. Never looking back.
I asked a lot of questions and feel I know why SERVPRO is the best. My neighbors are still waiting, but all of my damage is fixed after the water main burst.
I heard about SERVPRO from a work friend. He said you were professional and thorough, and he was right. Impressed with the moisture detection work that made sure all the water was gone.
SERVPRO of Upper West Side was great! Water flooded my living room after a sudden downpour and I couldn't keep it from flooding in. From the office person answering my phone call, to the workers who immediately came out, everyone was helpful and told me exactly what to expect. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks!
We had soaked carpeting after rain poured through the french doors to my patio. Replacing the carpeting become unnecessary after your SERVPRO team worked their magic. I’ve already told a couple of friends to call you before tossing wet items.
We tried your competitors but were appalled at how often they skipped an appointment or left junk for us to cleanup. Fast, consistent, and professional work are reasons why SERVPRO is the restoration company for us.
I am an engineer and did my due diligence. Training and the right equipment are why SERVPRO is your answer to damage from water, smoke, and other disasters.
I checked a lot of reviews and asked neighbors. Reports of speed and high-quality services are why SERVPRO made the cut. My contractor praised the work you did cleaning up water and mold damage before my latest remodel. Adding my positive review to many others.
So many issues popped up after the fire, and I didn't want to find a dozen contractors to fix them all. A look at your website showed me why SERVPRO was a good fit.

About Us
Family is at the heart of what we do and is a large contributing factor to the success that we have had through Manhattan and all of the Upper West Side. Not only does the entire team respond to one another like family members, working together to solve problems and to overcome obstacles, but our owner Benjamin O. Vargas is establishing a reputation and report in our communities to pass this company down to his family in the future.
Disasters can strike without warning, and with so many apartments and condos along Broadway and against the Hudson River or Central Park, we have many properties that depend on our fast response and expertise when disasters strike. We have a growing roster of IICRC-Certified restoration, mitigation, and recovery technicians with accreditations in nearly every facet of the industry. We have the equipment and the expertise to help.
We New Yorkers band together, and as a locally owned and operated company, it is essential to our franchise to give back to our communities whenever and wherever we can. We support many of the organizations and non-profits that operate around our facility and service area, and we seek out ways to both volunteer our time and resources into helping those less fortunate throughout our borough and beyond.
Art and culture take center stage throughout the Upper West Side, from American Museum of Natural History to Beacon Theatre, we have many massive properties as susceptible to the effects of water, fire, mold, storms, flooding, and biohazardous threats as any other buildings we work to help when disasters strike. We take great care to preserve original building materials, as many of the properties through the historic district have been around for a century or more.
We know that no home or business owner is ready for disasters and emergencies, but our SERVPRO of the Upper West Side IICRC-Certified technicians can roll out at a moment’s notice to help. Whenever disaster strikes, trust the team that can make it “Like it never even happened.”
