We discovered black mold in our home. I called around before discovering Clean Restoration, and I’m so glad I did! From Alysha & Melanie in the office to Shon, Chris & Justin. They were absolutely amazing, understanding & genuinely took their time fixing everything. I can’t thank you all enough!

WOW!!!! Words just don’t do justice for the results I saw today!!! The carpet is cleaner than I could ever have imagined. One specific area that I thought would be impossible to clean, is now CLEAN!!! My cat decided to cop an attitude and use the carpet as her litter box. I was given reason to believe that the smell may not come out at all. BUT IT DID!!! CLEAN has without a doubt, proven that they are the BEST. Thank you Cait Foss for getting this set up for me, and thank you Whitney Kearney for doing such an amazing job at the house!! Your team is amazing!!!!!

Quick, prompt, attentive, thorough & professional. The project manager was at our house within 30 minutes of our call and the crew was there 30 minutes later. There were no problems with the job or communicating. Everyone was great to deal with.

Clean Restoration was an absolute LIFESAVER when our basement flooded! They were at our door within 30 minutes of placing an emergency call on a Sunday EVENING! Their crew worked tirelessly to get everything cleaned up and dried out, and they did not leave our home until all 3,000+ gallons of water was emptied. In the week they were here they were very professional, efficient, and genuinely cared about helping us through our stressful situation. They have hearts of gold and even took the time to engage with our toddler and ask us how we were doing (a big shoutout to Shon who was very knowledgeable and helped ease a lot of our worries!). The owner, Jeff, also made appearances (even on Sunday evening) and kept wonderful communication with us through the entire process. I cannot say enough good things about Jeff and his business. They truly are the best, and we will definitely always recommend them! Thank you, Clean Restoration!!!

Jeff and his crew fit us in last minute, and came in the day after Christmas to get us cleaned up and drying out. His crew is very professional and did an awesome job during this horribly timed disaster. We were cleaned up, dried out and ready to get the contractor in before the insurance adjuster showed up. Would highly recommend this business and can’t thank them enough!!

Woke up December 23, 2022 to a frozen pipe burst in our basement with water all over the floor. My husband called Jeff at Clean Restoration and said “We need help!” Their workers were off that day for the upcoming Christmas holiday but he called and four of them came in and worked the whole day pulling all of the laminate flooring and baseboards out of our entire basement. I cannot give enough comments of how professional they were and how hard they worked. It was -8 that morning and his workers had to carry all their equipment in those extreme bitter cold conditions. They turned a horrible nightmare into such relief once they had all the water out and the fans and dehumidifiers set up. Thank you Whitney, Kaitlin, Chris, Austin!

Jeff and his team were top notch in the clean up of a flooding issue at our business. They turned a stressful situation into a good business experience!

Thank you for being there!

Jeff and his team were amazing to work with. I had not 1 but 2 water issues in a month and they took care of me both times. They are great people who answered all my questions and concerns and worked very well with my insurance company. They were all very professional and super nice every time they were at my house. Their equipment was clean and they treated my house with great respect. Thank you to all involved both times you were there and giving me a piece of mind that everything was going to be ok. You are all rockstars in my book and I can’t say enough great things about this company. Thank you again for everything

We had a sewage backup in are basement and we were advised to take several steps before having a crew come out. We only needed a plumber in the end but the professionalism and honesty saved us a bunch of money. It’s nice to know that a company who could of used a catastrophe like we had in our home was professional and honest and guided us to other services before utilizing there’s. Can’t thank them enough.

We needed some moldy drywall and insulation removed. Alan and Jeff were great to work with. We called “Clean Restoration” on a Friday, got a very competitive estimate, and the crew was on-site Tuesday morning. By noon, the job was complete. The crew was very professional, knew exactly what needed to be done, and did a fantastic job of cleaning up and hauling away the debris.

We are extremely happy with Clean Restoration’s work and would recommend them to anyone with the same type of situation.

Tim and Sarah Corrigan.

Jeff, Alan and the entire team were great to work with. They were on location (Pittsfield) within an hour of my initial phone call. They had the water out, basement cleaned and equipment running to dry everything out in just a few hours. The technicians were very efficient, diligent and polite. A very much deserved 5-stars, I will undoubtedly use them again if ever needed – and would highly recommend for anyone in need of the services they provide.

Although sewage backup cleaning wasn’t one of the obvious listed services, we discovered that they did do this kind of work. They responded to our call very quickly, got to the property very fast, made their assessment, gave us a fair price, and did the work thoroughly, professionally, and quickly. They communicate well and pleasantly with stressed clients. Very glad they could come from Quincy to do the work!

I am an insurance agent at Cason, Huff, & Schlueter Insurance in Quincy, IL. We have worked with Jeff on several claims, where our clients have needed someone to do the cleanup after a claim. Jeff at clean restoration is always the first person I call when I have a client that needs some help. Claims can be a very stressful time for a family and he always does an outstanding job to ease that stress. His response time is always second to none and he brings with him a level of expertise that seems to be un-matched in our area. Jeff and his crew offer a wide variety of services and are great to work with. I highly recommend anybody that has a restoration need give Jeff a call!

When the franchise companies told me they would call back, they didn’t I’d rather deal with someone local than call a toll free number and get someone in who-knows-where. I’m not even sure how Jeff got my number, but he was the first to call back and said he’d be here within an hour and he was. His crew did a great job.

As a local insurance agent, I have dealt with just about every restoration company in town. Clean Restoration is absolutely fabulous to work with. Professional, sympathetic, and most of all RELIABLE. Most restoration contractors severally over charge the insurance carrier in a time a tragedy which ultimately causes the insured’s rates to go up. These guys are very fair and get the job done. If my home ever suffered damage Clean Restoration would be my first call.
