I had the most charismatic lady stop in our office, loved the Queen of Clean, we toured the property. She couldn't be more knowledgeable and offered some truly spectacular suggestions on Feb 25th. Upon departure informed us how excited and great it would be to assist us. She called us after afterwards that someone would follow up for an estimate. We never heard from anyone at Brouwer Brothers Steamatic corporate office.

How disappointing to have never heard from the corporate office. The Queen of Clean went out of her way and provided superior customer service. We went in a totally different direction. Thanks immensely for the spectacular service Queen of Clean.

Omg where do I begin?! These guys are the bestess! Very professional, courteous, punctual, honest, friendly and just all around wonderful. I had a leak and needed to find the cause because it was my second claim! Steve came out, assessed and made his recommendations and the next thing I knew, his crew came and handled the mitigation smoothly. Omar, Miguel, and a couple others (don't remember their names) were swift, yet thorough.

They protected my floors and windows! They made absolutely no mess at all. They removed 3 and a half ceilings in my home and I never had to leave. I'm mostly impressed at how my bathroom doesn't have a scratch as they removed the ceiling and put plastic up there for extra protection. I was sad to see them go and I've never said this about any company ever in life. Omar & Steve kept me informed every step of the way. Thank you so much for a job well done. Love, Annetta.

Unfortunately we had a water pipe burst in the kitchen at 8:00 PM on Saturday. After I shut off the water I called Mindi Newman. Calmly Mindi said call my company and we will fix the problem. I called at 8:15 PM and spoke to Amanda. She said she would have someone out first thing in the morning. Omar and his crew showed up and told me the process that they were going to go through. He said he was going to do three things: 1) Dry out the house, 2) Work with my insurance company to coordinate every step 3) Impress me.

They did exactly that. For the next few days Emanuel, Omar and Tim showed up every morning at 9:00 am sharp to check on the fans that they installed and the dehumidifier. They took readings on the humidity levels in the walls and floor. By the end of the week the house was dry so they removed their equipment. They worked with my insurance company and took pictures. Even my insurance adjuster was impressed with the detail of their work. YES Brouwer Brothers did impress me. Thank you Mindi for connecting me with your company. They did a great job especially during a challenging time.
