About HM Environmental
Services, Inc.
Since 1996, HM Environmental Services, Inc. has delivered environmental remediation, industrial services, and regulated waste transportation across Michigan and the Midwest.
Founded by industry professionals with deep hands-on experience, the company was built with a clear purpose: create a customer-focused environmental contracting firm grounded in safety, integrity, and long-term relationships.
Today, HM Environmental brings more than 75 years of combined experience to every project. Our team supports manufacturers, municipalities, environmental consultants, real estate professionals, and industrial facilities with practical solutions to complex environmental challenges.
Our Story
Steve Matthes, the owner of HM Environmental, began his career in environmental contracting in 1986, locally in Southeast Michigan. Most of the management still on staff today joined the team shortly after the company was founded. Our combined management in the environmental services industry is over 75 years.
HM Environmental was established by professionals who were already immersed in the environmental industry. With backgrounds in environmental cleanup and industrial services, the founders set out to build a company that focused not only on technical execution but also on doing right by the client.
From the beginning, the goal was simple:
- Deliver safe and compliant environmental solutions
- Remain responsive and accountable
- Build lasting relationships instead of one-time transactions
- Complete projects efficiently and within budget
That philosophy continues to guide the company today.
More than 80% of our work comes from repeat clients who rely on us as a trusted partner.
What Sets Us Apart
- 80% of our business is repeat and referral
- Multi-generational workforce
- Strong coordination with consultants and engineers
