Rick was great- we would call 100% in the future if we needed his services again. We really appreciated the time he took and all the knowledge he had.
Description of Work: Really great service and very professional. They came out to look at a spot on our floor that we thought might be mold when we tore up carpet. We got an extremely thorough inspection. Rick was a very nice person and knew what he was talking about. He spent a lot of time explaining things to us and we felt very comfortable with his expertise.

The overall process was easy and way over my expectations. The crew was fabulous and Rick, the owner, was very sincere.
Description of Work: I had some water damage in my home, I called PuroClean and they were at my house within 45 minutes getting everything cleaned up and dried out... They were a lifesaver! The crew was very professional and courteous. I would definitely contact them again if I ever have anymore disasters!

I was not impressed with the quality of the preparation work, especially considering that they were to apply a coating over the block walls after the walls were cleaned. They performed a very spotty job caulking some, but certainly not all, of the cracks found in the walls. They did a very poor job addressing the scaling and flaking of the old coating that had been applied to the block walls 25 years ago. I myself went over the walls to remove all of the loose scalling after PuroClean completed what they thought was adequate preparation. After watching PuroClean get halfway through painting the walls, I asked why they were not using the product that I had been told they would use in their original proposal. The workman stopped working and left to check on how to proceed. The next day, PuraClean returned with the correct product, but performed a sloppy job applying the coating. After watching their work, I eventually joined in with my own paint brush to make sure that all surfaces were covered and that clean, straight lines were achieved at the edges of the work. While the workmen were polite, I thought the quality of their work was quite disappointing.
Description of Work: PuroClean was engaged to clean my concrete block basement walls of mildew and then seal the walls to discourage future problems.

Response from Puroclean Water, Fire, & Mold Experts
I am sorry that this customer is unhappy. We tried to address all his issues and concerns while there and thought we had. At the same time, he wanted us to do more work than we agreed to. In some cases, we did extra work at no additional costs. But this customer is incorrect in stating that we did not remove loose material before painting, we did scrape and used a wire brush to remove loose debris. This customer took a hammer and used it to chip away at concrete block blobs which we then cleaned up after him. We were painting concrete block and the edges of the concrete blocks are not perfect. So our lines may have not been straight but we were not painting finished drywall either. We did not have in our bid to use any caulking or compression bonding in cracks, but we did apply that at no additional costs. So to hear a complaint is disturbing. Again, we try to please our customers and are disappointed that this customer is unhappy, however we feel we did more than originally planned. My apologies for not bringing the correct paint initially. The job was scoped several months before we did the work and the technicians doing the painting did not know that special paint was required. We did buy $600 worth of paint for this job which is almost half the cost. I had one person there one day and three techs there another day. I did not make any money on this job. I also bought special hydraulic cement for the cracks which was beyond the estimate. Again, I am disappointed in the remarks of the customer and that we were not able to meet his expectations. Obviously, we try hard to get great reviews, it means a lot to our business. We will try harder going forward.

PuroClean kept me informed of their progress on a daily basis informing me of the condition of the home as I was out of town for over a week during their clean-up. They went over-and-above attempting to rid the home of urine odor at no extra charge to me. Much of the odor was removed, but not all, as much was in the hardwood flooring, which I was having sanded down and refinished by another contractor. I have complete trust and confidence in the folks at PuroClean having developed a relationship with them when they took over the care and clean-up of smoke damage to all of our personal belongings and furniture, etc. from a fire in our home the previous month. We are still out of our home from the fire and I will do a review of that work at the time we are able to return to our home.
Description of Work: Due to exceptionally bad condition of rental home after move-out of tenants with undisciplined cats, PuroClean cleaned ALL surfaces of the home, walls, cupboards (in and out), floors, ceilings, windows, some doors (others were removed due to excessive cat urine and later disposed of). They tore out carpet, vinyl flooring, and removed and disposed of appliances. They hauled away all debris. They ran their air purification equipment for several days in an attempt to remove the urine odor.

Response from Puroclean Water, Fire, & Mold Experts
This was a big job. It took four people a week working on this to clean it up. In addition, we ran deodorizing equipment longer than was billed for to help deodorize. The remaining odor should be resolved with sealing the wood floors and painting the walls. We will go back for more deodorization if needed. It is a pleasure to work with the Millers!

It didnt go at all. Noone showed up.
Description of Work: I was suppose to get the air tested today at noon for mold in a house that I'm trying to renovate. I tried to call and confirm this morning and I left a message but still nobody has returned my call. Drove to the house as I work almost 30 minutes away in case they did not receive the message and waited over 25 minutes and nobody showed up. Disappointed that I still haven't received a phone call.

I apologize for not showing up. I was swamped with emergency calls that take a priority, unfortunately. I did call back but it was later in the day and I left a message. Nobody returned my phone call. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

As opposed to another company that tried to sell us $6000 worth of remediation services, PuroClean was very honest and said that while work like that could be done, that it was unnecessary. He provided a quote for the work that actually would be of some value and it totalled about $500. Are we glad we got a second opinion? In fact, he told us what we needed to do to take care of the problem -- pretty basic stuff that even someone not very handy like myself could do -- so we ended up not getting any of the work done by a professional firm.

I called PuroClean with concerns about a mold smell & possible mold damage from an accident. Rick spoke with me on the phone and he was courteous and professional. He came to our home and did a complete check inspecting all the areas where I had concerns. He did not find mold, but gave me some ideas on how to make sure I don't get mold and get rid of a musty smell. There were no charges for Rick's consolation. I would definitely call this company back if I have future problems!

It went fabulous, they did a great job. He was really great to work with. He worked on the estimate to get it to something I could work with. It was a tight space in the attic. They did on a tight time frame and were able to meet that. The guys were courteous they cleaned up everything in the house that they had to move out the way. They did a great job and I highly recommend them.

Rick was very knowledgeable and friendly. He did a great job for me and I would recommend him to anyone. Also compared with a few other companies I called, his prices were lower.
Description of Work: After a water leak in the kitchen I called out Puroclean to make sure that there was not any remaning mold. Rick inspected the area and talked with me about additional steps to take. The area was pretty clean except for a few areas where he told me to take out some drywall that had been wet.

After discovering mold behind the crown molding in our living room, my wife and I contacted Puroclean regarding potential mold remediation. The company could not have been more responsive and although we received a quote for the cleaning, it was recommended that we complete the job ourselves to save money. It was refreshing to receive such honest and helpful advice from a contractor. I would strongly recommend this company.

Rick Gutridge responded to my call immediately and we scheduled a mold inspection for the first moment I could be at the property I am purchasing. Rick called me before the appointment, said he was running 5 minutes behind due to detour traffic so I wouldn't be disappointed. He showed up right when he said he would. He did a full inspection of the property's rooms, the attic, the garage,all living space, and put his findings on letterhead that he emailed to me that evening so I had it for my bank the very next day. Timely, positive experienced. Rick's a really great guy and a true professional. He'll be the first person I call for anything like this in the future.

When we were selling our house, the inspector found some mold in our attic. On the inspector's report, it told us we had to use a certain company -- Air Technology -- and the buyer's realtor carried that over to the request for remedy. I thought it seemed ridiculous that they would tell us we had to use a certain company, so I called two other companies from Angie's List to get estimates. One of the companies was Puroclean. A.J. from Puroclean was fantastic! I had a very tight timeframe in which to get estimates. He came out right away and performed a free inspection and estimate. He thoroughly explained the situation and provided an estimate by the next day. The estimate was $1,400 to clean the entire area -- that was 30% lower than the other two estimates of $2,000 to do the exact same work. Puroclean's honesty, professionalism and commitment to customer service was really refreshing. Since closing was coming up, we ended up giving the buyers a portion of the money to complete the work, but if we had completed the work ourselves, we would have definitely gone with Puroclean. Don't let an inspector or realtor force you into working with one company...get an estimate from Puroclean! We were glad we did.

He looked at it and indicated that it was not mold. He gave us suggestions on keeping our attic dry by installing an electric fan. Even though it was a free estimate, I asked if he could write us a letter with his findings and suggestions because we were planning on putting our house on the market. He offered to do this for us for free, but we compensated him because he was professional, honest, and very helpful. He was great to work with.

When I have the bathroom completed they are going to sanitize the carpet. They are also going to come back and clean my carpet at no cost since the wheels from their fans left marks on my beige carpets. Rick the owner is very professional, and didn't even argue with me about the marks on the beige carpet. Every one was very nice and great to deal with. The work was covered by my insurance, I never saw a bill from them. I'd use them again and again.

I was highly stressed and frustrated by the time I contacted Rick at Puroclean. I don't know anything about mold remediation, and I was prepared to be taken advantage of. My insurance claims agent was of no help, as soon as I talked to Rick I felt reassured and confident, he charged a very fair rate. Also he does more then mold.
Description of Work: Due to leak in flat roof over 1/2 bathroom rarely used, mold had developed (mushrooms were growing) once I dried the room out and had roof patched I needed mold removal and remediation. This involved removing all of the drywall ceiling and once free of mold sealing it all he removed every bit of trash.
