Excellent service! Marc came right out and provided me with very helpful information and options. I would definitely recommend this group!!
DrCyndi Robinson
Marc Garber and the Bio-One team are simply excellent. Marc is a wonderful communicator and problem solver. He brings a wealth of experience to any job. After our initial consultation, where he paid close attention to detail and took numerous photographs, he wrote up a comprehensive and thorough report to guide every step and help us achieve the desired results. Highly recommend!

I had a lot of rodent waste in my attic and knee walls under dormers. I called Bio One Richmond and Marc and Chase came to do the inspection and estimate. They both have a great personality and we’re very professional. Chase headed up the work and did a fantastic job. I was so impressed with his easy going personality and his work ethic. He had to remove lots of waste and insulation, spray, paint, reinstall insulation and plug gaps in the eaves in an extremely hot attic. He never once complained. His work was very neat and he cleaned up behind himself. I didn’t have to do a thing! And, on his way out he removed a fallen tree that was on my gate. He is the supervisor and sets a great example for his employees. I am so appreciative of a job well done! I highly recommend this company! I am a very happy customer!

This company is Qualified, Thorough, and Professional! But what really sold us was their humility and compassion to our situation. We needed a cleanup company during a tragedy and there was no way of getting around it! We consulted with a few companies and Bio-One Richmond was our choice! They talked us through the cleanup process, were sensitive to our needs and alleviated stress. Unfortunately companies take advantage of people in such circumstances- all about the bottom line and no concern for people. Bio-One Richmond was AMAZING! And their estimate was half the cost of the other companies! We highly recommend Bio-One Richmond!!

Mark is professional, with great integrity.

Bio-One provided excellent service throughout the cleanup process. Mark was responsive to calls and text messages. His crew got in fast in response to a short timeframe on my part, did excellent work, and communicated clearly and often throughout the process. Mark worked hard to try to find the most affordable deal for me, and I definitely thought he and Bio-One went above and beyond to be professional and kind during a difficult period for our family.

Many many many thanks to Mark and his wonderful team of professionals who took care of my father‘s home after his passing. The entire job was completed in five days and was conducted with the utmost dignity and respect. The home had a lot of stuff to clean out and sort through; and Mark and his team did an absolutely wonderful job going through each box, every drawer and every cabinet in order to see what should be kept and what could be thrown away. Not only did they do a fantastic job with the home, but I personally was able to help one of his workers with a solar system that we had installed and he was able to remove it safely and use it for his own. Thank you Mark for the amazing job that you and your team did!

    At the worst time of my families life, this company made what was anticipated to be the worst thing in the world to do the easiest part of this tragedy. From contacting the company and speaking with Mark to his team everything was handled professionally, with empathy, and respectfully. Chase and Chloe's response at the house was liken to having your friends come help you deal with a terrible situation. They made me feel supported, they were informative and made what I feared to be the worst part of dealing with a suicide the easiest so far. I highly recommend this company that helps you deal with the cleanup as well as other things you just don't know about when someone dies in this manner. I rarely do reviews because it's not often I feel so passionate about something a business has done. This company exceeded my expectations and truly does what no one else ever wants to do. I'm beyond grateful for the as individuals and a company!

    Great company! Marc and Chase were prompt, caring and professional. I had a problem in my attic and knee walls under the dormers with a lot of rodent waste. I called and Marc and Chase came to inspect and give an estimate. Chase lead the work to be done. Chase and his crew knew exactly what needed to be done...insulation needed to be removed, getting up all the waste, spraying 2 different types of solutions and painting and installing new insulation. They even plugged openings found in the eaves. I was impressed with how this company operates and how Chase ensured everything was taken care of, including cleaning up afterwards. I didn’t have to do a thing! The attic was so darn hot but Chase didn’t complain. Chase was very polite and truly cared about making sure everything was done right. He sets a good example for his crew. He even removed a tree that fell over on my gate! Thanks so much for providing such professional work and for the extraordinary customer service! I am a very happy customer!

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What is Hoarding?
    Hoarding is a behavioral pattern characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of a home and cause significant distress or impairment. 

    Compulsive hoarding behavior has been associated with health risks, economic burdens, and adverse effects on personal relationships. When clinically significant enough to impair functioning, hoarding can prevent typical uses of space so as to limit basic daily activities like moving through the home, eating, and sleeping. It can also put people at risk due to increased risks of injury, fire, and disease.
    Why Hire Bio-One of Richmond To Cleanup Your Hoarding Residence?
    Bio-One of Richmond prioritize concern for the well being of our customers and their families, always following our slogan, “Help First, Business Second.” Bio-One of Richmond soundly reject the business-first mindset of other companies who see people and their families asking for help as vulnerable and exploit the economic opportunity. Our primary goal is to help people improve their lives and begin the process of moving forward.
    What Makes Bio-One of Richmond Different From Other Hoarding Cleanup Companies?
    Bio-One of Richmond sets itself apart from other hoarding cleanup companies in four distinct ways:

    Bio-One of Richmond come to give on-site estimates, never blind, inflated estimates over the phone. This allows us to give an accurate estimate and scope of work.

    Bio-One of Richmond do not give bait & switch quotes. Unlike other companies that lowball their estimates and then ratchet the price up as the job progresses, our experience and expertise allows us to give accurate estimates that reflect what the job will cost.

    Bio-One of Richmond are truly a local company, the owners and employees all call the Richmond area home, too. Other companies take your call from outside our community, and then subcontract your job out to some workers who are neither hoarding specialists nor trained professionals. Many times the contracting company does not even know the subs they have hired.

    Bio-One of Richmond respond to a hoarding cleanup request immediately because we are locally based. We're not heading into the area, we're already here.
    Does Bio-One of Richmond Share Information About Or Notify Any Other Entity Regarding A Hoarding Matter?
    Bio-One of Richmond goes to great lengths to ensure your privacy and our discretion. For starters, we use unmarked vehicles and we don’t suit up outside whenever possible. We’re also good at gently, but firmly, shooing away nosy neighbors and we don’t answer their probing questions.
    Does Bio-One of Richmond Offer Any Maintenance Or Follow Up Service After The Initial Hoarding Cleanup?
    Yes. Bio-One of Richmond offers a regularly-scheduled maintenance program where Bio-One of Richmond return to the residence or property after the initial cleanup and perform follow up services to ensure that it remains in the state it was when we completed the job.
    Do I Have To Get A Maid Service After You Are Done To Clean The Property?
    Yes. While the original hoarding cleanup will result in the removal of all necessary/requested items, the hoarding residence will still be in need of a thorough and detailed cleaning, due to the effects caused by the original hoarding situation. Bio-One of Richmond offers a detailed cleaning program to anyone who's interested.
