MEET OUR CREW
SERVPRO of Newberry and Laurens Counties, your future HEROES.
Mel Kitchens
Meet Little Mel, our Production Manager. He has been with SERVPRO since 2013. He has been certified in SERVPRO crew training, IICRC in Water Damage and Restoration, and carpet and upholstery. Recently, he received IICRC certification in Applied Structural Drying.
If Little Mel could pick one person who has been a hero in his life it would be his Pop pop. He is the first Mintford and if it wasn’t for him he wouldn’t be Mintford Lamar Kitchens lll. He also served our country in the Air Force which means a lot to me.
The Gangs all Here!
The Gangs all here! The SERVPRO team enjoying fun and fellowship at The Palms in Newberry, SC. Getting the team together is very important for our business.

What our
customers are saying
I had several area rugs that needed to be cleaned and SERVPRO of Newberry and Laurens Counties did an excellent job making them look almost brand new again and with the option of drop off or pick up for you made it even easier. They were ready in 24 hours! I would highly recommend them! Friendly staff and top-notch Customer Service!
Thank you!

Kimberly and Mel Kitchens are the best in the restoration business! They genuinely care about their clients and meeting their needs in a timely manner. I have worked with them professionally through insurance and personally. Amazing folks, doing amazing works!
We had a water line to break in our bathroom. And left a huge mess in our bathroom and bedroom. Our insurance company called SERVPRO. I must say Kimberly and Mel took charge. Thanks to there company for there knowledge and expertise. Great job.
Not only has SERVPRO of Newberry and Laurens Counties done water mitgation work, carpet cleaning, and general cleanup for my wife and me personally, but also for many of my State Farm customers. From water mitigation to fire restoration and more I have confidence that if I can get SERVPRO involved early the whole claims process seems to go easily. Thanks for helping me keep the promise. Good job MEL AND KIMBERLY!
Excellent service always!!!
We love SERVPRO! Always dependable, efficient and gets the tough jobs done!
Fast response time and very sweet staff!
The guys did an excellent job of making our couch look new again!! With 3 dogs, a husband and throw in 2020 it was time!! We also had all of our area rugs cleaned, they have them looking and smelling phenomenal.
Lastly, they transformed carpet in our bonus room! Now it is clean and fresh!!
I cannot recommend SERVPRO of Newberry and Laurens enough!!
Plus it helps when the guys doing the job are nice, and like what they do!
SERVPRO of Newberry and Laurens helped my family tremendously when we needed our carpets cleaned. Their worker was friendly and on time and made the whole experience a pleasant one. They even took an oriental rug to their facility to clean it and returned it promptly. Kimberly and Mel have a wonderful community spirit and volunteer and help wherever needed. I highly recommend their SERVPRO services!
