What People Are Saying About Us

Maria Cuadra

We are a pest control and were recently contracted to help identify a "Rotting Flesh/Decomp-like" aroma for a very high profile Client. The site was a speciality sound stage where the odor was interfering with production and disgusting the clients visiting the space. We looked everywhere and found nothing. But noticed the aroma was most intense upon entering the space. We started contacting firms to help where none we spoke with would help and most didn't even return our call. Until we found GreenWorks. They not only would help to correct the matter. They sent a proposal and a helpful information sheet to assist with our own efforts. Funny thing is that they were on the East Coast and we were on the West Coast and we hadn't even started working with them yet. They were fantastic. If you have an environmental issue like an odor or something degrading indoor Air Quality the Building Biologists at GreenWorks are the folks to call. They are our go-to guys from now on.
