“I would like to say that Chris and the crew from Clean Sweep did an amazing job at my house. They arrived at my house on Tuesday and did a wonderful cleanup from the water when my water heater broke. They were friendly, professional and very honest when they had found $20 dollars. They came back on Friday to pick up all their equipment and any leftover garbage from the water damage. I would definitely recommend Clean Sweep to everyone. “

"Dear Chris, this letter is regarding the soot damage on our home recently and the excellent service provided by you, Doug and also Alex, foreman of the cleanup crew. We want to thank you and Doug for your help in this matter. Both of you were just wonderful, patient and very caring and always followed up with us on our questions and we wanted you to know how much we appreciated having you and your company helping us. I’m sure you already are aware of what a very valuable employee Alex is. He was on top of everything and extremely knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to have in our home.

"Dear Arvid, With many thanks and appreciation for an excellent job well done by a great team."

- Joan B., East Northport, NY - January 2015

“Dear Arvid, I’m not prone to writing letters of thanks to companies but I want to thank you and Clean Sweep for the incredible job you and your team did in cleaning my father’s house from top to bottom and help bringing peace and stabilization to a horrific event. The smoke, the soot that covered everything – even things unseen, the remains of the fire were diligently cleaned and erased from the house and, hopefully, soon from my memory. Nothing was too difficult to clean and nothing was too messy to still gain access too. Several team members were even able to take a huge overstuffed smoke-damaged sofa out a window because it wouldn't fit through the door. It was that type of diligence and “nothing can stop us” attitude that most grabbed my attention and was infectious. They even worked the entire weekend which helps our family get back to our normal lives sooner. I could not ask for a better company or crew to come into our house and do what they did. Having never been a victim of a fire, I can only say that your warmth, assistance, hard work, advice, and even sympathy helped me and my family overcome this extraordinarily difficult time. And lastly, I hope never to have to use your services ever again but if I am a future victim of fire then I know who I will request to clean the damage.”

"After a devastating fire, which is traumatic enough, three gentlemen came into my home. Recommended and sent by Allstate, these gentlemen, Eric Ketelsen, Kevin Balkan and Jeffery Turesky, treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy. They did an outstanding job with the cleanup. After 5 days of nonstop work, I will actually miss them. Congratulations on hiring such nice professional people.

- Gilberte H., Jackson Heights, NY - October 2014

"I would like to extend our immense gratitude for your referral of the professional cleaning company Clean Sweep! Especially, Arvid, Doug, and Eric. After the devastating 5 alarm fire in Jackson Heights last week, which was just a few yards away from our apartment, my husband and I thought we would not be able to return to our home for months. But thanks to the amazingly speedy service, conduct and expert cleaning of our apartment by the excellent crew of Clean Sweep, we have been able to move back in less than a week after the fire! Not only were they meticulous, virtually erasing all the smoke odor, but they were kind and trustworthy. Neither my husband nor I could take off from work to supervise the cleaning of our apartment. They kindly accommodated us and staked their reputation pending our satisfactory evaluation of their work. Clean Sweep exceeded our expectations and all our belongings were exactly where we left them and cleaner than ever! We were so impressed with their level of care and attention to detail, that we wanted to make sure that you pass along our recommendation for Clean Sweep to all your clients dealing with the mess of fire or smoke damage. We thank you for referring this lovely family-run business, who made it their business to care for our home as if it were their own."

"We would like to say how pleased we are with the service provided by Clean Sweep Restoration Services after our recent oil burner puffback. They were prompt, professional and took great care cleaning our home and belongings, including my husband's plentiful model airplane collection. Thank you for making a difficult situation a little easier. We hope we will never need to use a restoration service again, but it we do we will definitely use Clean Sweep, and would recommend them to our friends and family."

“I experienced a flooded basement due to my hot water heater. Your company was recommended to me through Utica National Insurance. I called your office on Monday morning and within an hour of my call Eric Ketelsen and Kevin Balkau were at my home. I need to preface this with the extenuation circumstances that caused me to not deal with the flood as calmly as I would have a year ago. The finished basement was my husband’s pride and joy. He designed and built an extraordinary bar completely out of more than ten different types of rare wood veneers. He also had a nine foot professional antique pool table there along with high end stereo equipment. Under normal circumstances, these would just be “things” that could be repaired or replaced by him. Unfortunately he passed away a few months ago, and I hadn’t even been able to go downstairs since his passing, along with the possibility that the handiwork of his bar could have been ruined pushed me over the edge. Both Eric and Kevin were phenomenal, they were patient, kind and considerate and on top of that did a spectacular job. Throughout the daylong process and their subsequent return trip today to take readings they remained kind, considerate and unflappable. They made an otherwise emotionally draining few days much easier. Even this afternoon, after the new hot water was installed and despite my request of the installers to return the numerous fans and dehumidifiers to the locations that Eric and Kevin had placed them in necessitated an additional trip here by Eric, he remained as kind, courteous and efficient as he had been all day yesterday and this morning. Nothing fazed him. Both men were also insulted (along with me) by the original repairman from my oil company and despite that never lost their cool. Please accept my utmost thanks and appreciation; not only for a job extremely well done, but also for the exceptionally kind way they both treated me. They made something much less difficult than it could have been and I so appreciate it.”

                       "I wanted to let you know what an outstanding job the Clean Sweep team has done on our house. Arvid Eklund, the crew chief Eric Ketelsen and the team of Kevin and Tommy were all wonderful. They were considerate and respectful of our difficult circumstances. They were careful to ask if they had questions about the disposition of personal items. The cleaning job they did makes it difficult to believe there was fire and smoke in the house."

- Kenneth & Elizabeth M., Uniondale, NY - May 2013

"I would like to thank you for your prompt response to our needs for your services at a time of great need. We are thoroughly amazed at what was able to be accomplished in such a short time. Your staff was very professional, helpful and so considerate to our needs. We are grateful to our friends for recommending your company to us and we will be recommending your company in the future. Please thank all involved in this cleanup for us."

- Peter C., Hampton Bays, NY - April 2013

"I am very pleased to recommend Clean Sweep Restoration Services for their excellent job. The grease fire that occurred in my kitchen w/c resulted in so much soot and dirt all over the place and made our home uncomfortable to stay in, for us and our pet. Clean Sweep Restoration Services performed an excellent job in cleaning and restoring our home. They were always punctual, honest and courteous. I am completely satisfied, A++!!"

- Angelita B., Woodside NY - April 2013

"I want to thank Allstate for recommending Clean Sweep Restoration Services Inc. to eliminate the damage caused by the puff back in our home. The Clean Sweep men attended to our home in a very professional and unobtrusive manner. They took complete charge of the clean up. They approached all aspects of the clean up with total respect to our property. Their work was the highest of quality. They restored our home and its valuable contents to a clean and pre-puff back condition. We could not be more pleased and satisfied with their work. It is certainly to the credit of Allstate that it hired such a competent company with such a respectful and professional crew to do the clean up and the restoration work to our home.

- Lenore G., Remsenburg, NY - February 2013

"In December of last year, my house suffered serious soot damage due to a boiler puff back. Every room in my 3 floor home was covered with a fine layer of black soot. Clean Sweep Restoration Service came in to clean everything from top to bottom. Eric and his team did an excellent job of restoring everything to its original condition. They cleaned floors, walls, ceilings, carpets, couches, chairs and every single item contained in a very large house. They were professional, efficient, diligent and completely thorough. They arrived on time every morning and most importantly, finished the job within the time frame promised. Clean Sweep Restoration did a great job! They were very pleasant and easy to work with. I am very grateful for the job they did and would highly recommend their services to friends and family.

"Two weeks ago, my wife came home from work to a flood in our basement. The basement is an integral part of our home, fully finished, carpeted and furnished. We were very concerned that many of our belongings were destroyed. We immediately contacted Travelers Insurance, our home insurance carrier. We were given a name of a local restoration company, Clean Sweep Restoration in Islip. We called their office, and were told that although they were currently on a job, they would be at our home by 6pm. They arrived well before the time they scheduled, and immediately began cleaning up the water. Having someone come into your home to perform a job like this is not something a homeowner would look forward to, all your personal belongings ruined, tossed all over your home. But the employees at Clean Sweep put us right at ease, and did a fantastic job minimizing the damage as well. Because they arrived so quickly, they were able to salvage the majority of the sheetrock as well. Also, unlike most contractors, when Clean Sweep said they were coming back, they did. Not once did we have to call them to see where they were. If they said they would be at our home, they were there. I would highly recommend Clean Sweep Restoration to anyone who has had damage to their home. They are professional, courteous, a pleasure to deal with in such a difficult time."

- Matthew & Therea L., East Islip, NY - October 2012

"I must commend most highly the cleaning team from Clean Sweep; Eric Ketelsen and Kevin Balkau. They have proven to be very skilled and professional in the execution of their craft, the skill and thoroughness of their work and attention to detail. They were very thoughtful and understanding and patient in so many ways. My wife and I are very thankful for the way they assisted us in getting over this near tragedy in our home. We would strongly recommend their services to anyone."

- Clive G., Rosedale, NY - July 2012

"My Father's oil burner had a puff back. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, the oil burner basically back fired and filled my Father's entire home with soot. Ceilings, walls, floors, inside the closets and all the cabinets and draws. We called Allstate and they sent a restoration service. After Arvid Elund from Clean Sweep, assessed the damage, a crew was sent in on a Sunday. Imagine that I cannot begin to express how pleased we are with their service. They were courteous, professional and kept us informed. They treated all the contents with great respect. And the finished product is wonderful, we can't believe it, the neighbors were stunned at the difference. Highly recommend them!"

"I want to commend Clean Sweep's team of, Eric, Kevin & Steve. All of these men were professional, had respect for my "things" and always had a smile on their faces. The guys are a great team of workers and I was amazed how well they had a system. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. My house is spick and span and has never been cleaner. I didn't think the house would ever be clean again, but as soon as they started cleaning, I could see such a great difference. You can see how these men take pride in their work, they take care of your home as if it is theirs."

- Judi & Eddie C, Centereach, NY - February 2012

"We want you to know that we are pleased with the quality of outstanding service that Clean Sweep provided for us. We sincerely appreciate their quick responsiveness and dependable service. They were courteous and friendly answering all our questions in a clear understandable manner. Their commendable job was executed in a very professional manner. Also, a special thanks to Eric and their team of men for the timely completion and excellent craftsmanship in which they dried out our water damaged house. After their task was finished, they left our residence in a "spick and span" condition surrounded by bare walls and no ceilings. It is a pleasure to work with people who know the meaning of efficiency. We would definitely recommend their services to our family and friends."

- Mary C., West Hempstead, NY - March 2011


"I would like to commend Clean Sweep Restoration Service Inc. for sending Eric and his crew. This is to let you know how pleased we were with Eric and how they handled the cleanup of our flooded basement due to a burst pipe. They were very thorough and organized. They approached this job and handled our personal belongings with care. Although we had delays from our insurance company, Eric arrived at 7:30pm, Sunday evening. They stayed until 11:30pm and completed the removal of the damaged areas and rugs. They added the necessary equipment that night and then came back the following day to add the rest of the necessary equipment as Eric explained to me. They installed the additional equipment in such a way that is would be as little of an inconvenience as possible. They were attentive to their responsibilities. Eric took accurate meter readings of the saturation levels in the sheetrock until it was dry, took rug samples, recorded room dimensions, took photos and drew a floor plan. Eric was careful in the removal of damaged construction materials. Both gentlemen were patient with my 5 year old son who was enamored with all the equipment. Thank you and I would recommend your company's services if ever I come across someone you would require your services."
