I'm managing this home from out of state, so I wanted to recommend them to anyone who has concerns regarding a rental or seasonal property you may need work done on, and you can't be at the property to ensure the work gets done...and done right.
A great team of people to work with, and honest and professional! I would refer my friend to this company!!!
to tent all the trees and bushes around the house along with the house. It would have been very easy for them to leave the trees out of the tent, but that was too much for then to do. So we had several dead trees and bushes to pull out after we moved in. That completely changed the look of the house. Next, they were supposed to remove and replace two patio covers that had termite damage. They started work by ripping them down, then abandoning the job for about two weeks. They left nails and sawdust all over our backyard that we had to clean up so our children didn’t get hurt playing back there. Over the next couple weeks they worked off and on a couple hours at the end of the day. Every time they left I had to clean up all their fast food bags. Then they showed up to do work on the Saturday of my son’s birthday party with no advance notice. When I told them they couldn’t work that day since my son was having a pool party, they threatened me by saying that if they couldn’t work that day, they didn’t know when they could get back to it. Finally, they tried to claim the job was complete and collect the remaining money from the escrow company before finishing the work they had contracted to do. I had to threaten the escrow company to get them to hold the funds until Newport competed the work they noted on the inspection report.
After our move-in we noticed termite damage (the termites had eaten a shutter on a wall facing the street, leaving only the paint layer). When we called Newport Exterminating, they informed us that there was "no warranty because they had not provided any services because they had not found any termites." What an impressive loophole.
As we did not feel comfortable dealing with NE, we then called another company which performed a thorough inspection, tapping the wood, finding a lot of damage to the attic, the balconies, the rafters, etc., requiring immediate action. This second company told us that it is an industry practice that many companies perform 15 minute inspections for escrow companies. This is the only explanation that makes sense given the degree of destruction that was overlooked with the naked eye and that there were no tapping marks left by a previous "inspection."
Bottom line: Be careful if you choose to deal with this company as it seemed too comfortable putting a clean bill of health on a termite infested home.
