Thanks for everything!

Tyler, our project manager, was amazing! We appreciated how responsive he was throughout the entire process, in calls, texts, and emails, and all the advice he provided. The contractors brought in through United Services were also wonderful and saved us the trouble of looking for plumbers, painters, etc, and they did fantastic work. I would work with them again, also. United Services took the utmost care to make sure we were informed of every step of the process and that we were reassured all would be taken care of, which it was. Our basement looks better than ever. We would not hesitate to work with United Services again. Thank you!
By Mike
It was a pleasure working with your entire company. Its nice to know that you can trust people to treat your property with respect while you are not present during the time you are away and the work is being completed.

Dear AMAZING STAFF at United Services, There's absolutely no way to properly thank a crew like yours for everything you've done for us since our house fire.   From the sad first days, covered with toxins, grim and ash, carefully handling and sorting out our family's belongings, to the final days of seeing our restored things - lovingly cleaned, polished, files organized, recipes cleaned, furniture and kick-knacks better than before.  Each person working together doing their part in a kind of teamwork you rarely find anymore, ANYPLACE.   We have been amazed at your kindness and personal interest your customers are shown by each team member.  Your craft is not just a job - its an ART.  United Service's genuine care for our loss is a direct reflection of how they treated our family's belongings.  The wrapping, cleaning, boxing, restoring, wiping, refiling - you are all truly a DREAM TEAM.  No one deserves a better Holiday Season and Happy New Year more than you all. Please take care of yourselves and each other.  We will never forget how a horrible disaster was made bearable with a happy ending in LARGE PART through your kindness.

Wilmette, IL
Dear Crew, Wow!  How lucky I was to have such a wonderful dedicated group arrive at my house and proceed to put my home and life back in order.  I will be forever grateful for all you've done for me and my family.  Please know how much I admire you and the work you do for others!

We have nothing but positive feedback. Everyone that has been here has been very professional and efficient. Chris has been great!
Agent R.
Highland Park, IL
Dear Gary, I believe in letting companies know when they perform a professional job.  One of my insureds, Micheal, called me on Monday January 27th and left me a message that he had a broken pipe in the upstairs areas and that there was water running down the walls. I had used your company in the past so i called in the loss and requested if your people could get out to the house the same day.  This is a high end home, and I was a little concerned on how this clean up would go. Let me tell you that at this moment, it was happening.  The husband was in New York and the wife's brother had just been rushed to the hospital, so she had a lot going on.  I will never us another company for a clean up situation.  That same day, I got a phone call from Mrs. letting me know how professional and caring the crew was. She had nothing but high praise for your company. As an agent, I depend on various company to help out our insureds; acuto accidents, body shops, plugged up sinks, plumbers, smoker or water clean up, UNITED SERVICES. You really made me look good and for that I can't thank you enough.  I feel very comfortable recommending your company. Thank you, John
