Claim This BusinessSERVPRO of Virginia Beach, Oceana, Dam Neck and Green Run opened in 1991 under Robert and Margaret Simeone and is now operated by the second generation, Anna Cheracles and Katie Bolin. The franchise holds IICRC certifications, employs technicians who complete ongoing industry training, and maintains a 4.6-star average across 234 reviews. The company serves Virginia Beach and dozens of surrounding neighborhoods including Princess Anne, Kings Grant, Little Creek, Great Neck, Shore Drive, and the Oceanfront, offering around-the-clock emergency response seven days a week. Whether damage strikes a single family home or a commercial property, the crew commits to arriving within one hour of a call and follows a scientific drying process designed to reduce losses and shorten disruption.
What distinguishes this franchise is its emphasis on response speed, industry certification, and coordination with insurance carriers. Technicians are trained and retrained through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification program, and the company backs its work with the national SERVPRO system, a network of more than 1,700 franchises operating under consistent standards and protocols. The "Faster to any size disaster" tagline reflects a deliberate operational focus: crews arrive with portable equipment and begin extraction and structural drying on-site rather than delaying while waiting for sub-contractors. This approach allows the company to manage everything from a leaking water heater in a Pembroke condo to a flooded restaurant on Shore Drive without escalating the job to a third party.
Across reviews, homeowners consistently highlight specific technicians by name for the way they guided families through stressful damage scenarios. Duane stood out for his clear explanations of the drying timeline and his commitment to meeting every deadline he set. Dainan Gibson responded to a weekend overflow from a clogged dishwasher within hours, dispatching a crew to assess and resolve the situation that same day. Other reviewers credited Lauren in the office for coordinating logistics and keeping them updated throughout the process. In each case, customers described a crew that protected surrounding areas, communicated proactively, and followed through until the property was fully restored.
Reviewers rate this franchise 5 stars for professionalism, clarity of communication, and speed of response. Duane, Dainan Gibson, and Lauren receive multiple named mentions for guiding homeowners through insurance documentation and explaining each step of the drying process. Negative feedback was not present in the available sample; positive reviews consistently cite same-day arrival and thorough job completion.
