I tend to over research so I had a huge stack of termite company recommendations accrued from various sources ? word of mouth, Angie?s List, and past experience. I went with all three to select Yamaguchi.

 

It was a long process from inspection to repairs and finally to fumigation. Richard came out to inspect the house (June 24). Although Richard was very thorough, he recommended further examination by his colleague, Oley (July 1). Then Paul, head of Yamaguchi, met with us to point out the problem areas, and explain how they will repair it. The decision was made to repair the house first then fumigate because any new wood installed may have termites too.

 

Repairs began August 17 and finished August 28 and fumigation occurred over the Labor Day weekend (September 4-7). Oley and Jay of Yamaguchi did the main work of extracting the damaged areas and replacing it with new wood, installing new flooring, rebuilding supports, and supervising. Subcontractors did the work in the shower stall (demolishing, rebuilding, tarring, tiling, acid washing, and grouting), installing the new bathroom linoleum, and fumigating. Every one of them worked diligently during LA?s worst heat wave.

 

Noteworthy:

? Oley made sure that work on the bathroom stall was done correctly and even made the tilers come back
? Oley and Jay installed the cost-effective (aka cheapest) laminate flooring as if they were the highest grade hardwood. Their work was exceptional.
? The boss checking in on the progress and listening to our concerns
? The boss bringing lunch for Oley and Jay

They are a smaller company who was willing to do a small one unit job. They were fair, reasonable and local. They were great to work with.

I went onto Angie's List to see what people had said about him, and I was trying to see the name of the tenting company that he uses, because we got burgled while our house was getting tented. So, I was looking to see, if anyone of that kind of activity was reported. He was referred to us by our contractor. He subcontracts the tenting service, and I was burglarized, and I wanted to find out why I was not informed of that. The company that he hired to do the tenting, and between them, they said that these things happen all the time. They didn't tell me that I may want to hire a security guard for the 3 days.
Response from Yamaguchi Termite Control
"We are sorry your fumigation experience did not go as expected. There are some things that we cannot control during the fumigation, among them are the weather, some person(s) breaking into a building while it is being fumigated. Contrary to what you stated, break-ins during fumigations that we oversee do not happen that often. All the doors are locked during the fumigation, as well as secondary locks placed on the door(s) by the fumigators, so even if someone has a key, they cannot get in. From what I recall from our notes regarding the break-in during your fumigation, a pair of French doors were forced open. Upon discovery of the break-in, we sent someone out to your house immediately and contacted you. We waited onsite until you arrived and went over what we thought happened. Listed in the written instructions that we give to all of our clients that decide to have a fumigation done is the name of the fumigator and their telephone number. We also inform our clients in writing that our fumigations are subcontracted to another company and have our clients sign a Subcontract Authorization acknowledging this. In our instructions, we state that” …any valuables such as jewelry, money, silver, art objects, etc., or items that you deem to be valuable should be removed from the premises prior to the fumigation”. When something like this happens, we immediately contact the owner. We then meet with our fumigators and discuss what happened and what we can do better. While some parts of town appear to be more prone to break-ins than other, it is difficult for us to judge whether a building is more apt to be broken into or not. As I recall from walking around your house after the incident, we found much of your belongings in bags or suitcases just outside of your house. Though we have no way of knowing what was actually taken, it appeared that much of your belongings were left in your yard. That being said, again our apologies for what happened....again, we can only control what we do and not the actions of the environment and others. We (including our fumigators) try and treat every building as if we were fumigating our own. You or any person(s) reading this review and our response, are welcome to contact us for further discussion. Thank you."

They were very professional, helpful and thorough with their inspection. They told me that I didn't have significant damage and suggested that I replace my small wood porch and do some light spraying.

The experience was outstanding. Very personal and helpful interface with the office staff. The inspector was friendly and thorough. The crew that came to treat garage, treat house for subterranean termites and do repairs were thorough and friendly. The crew that did the fumigation was excellent. Everything went according to schedule. We were very pleased with the entire experience.

To get ready for the city apartment inspection of our triplex, I hired a handyperson (from Angie's List of course) to do some repairs. While prepping one of the outer doorsills for painting, she unexpectedly discovered termites in the wood. With the inspection only a week away, I turned to Yamaguchi Termite Control for help. They sent out an inspector on Monday who confirmed the problem and also looked at a bedroom window sill that had droppings. I contacted the office the next morning.
After explaining my situation to the owner, Paul, he said he'd e-mail me a report and estimate as soon as possible. I received the report that afternoon and called him. Paul offered to schedule the treatment the very next day. The service technicians, (Ollie and Jay) were courteous, personable and on time. They not only treated the affected doorsill, but also injected chemicals into the ground as well, to kill/control the subterranean colony. The window sill was spot treated and the residue and smell dissipated after a few hours. My two indoor cats suffered no ill effects. I'm grateful to Yamaguchi Termite for being so accommodating and responsive to my deadline.

Paul went to the property (a single family home in Pasadena), he was prompt, according to the tenant. He performed an initial inspection and followed it with a mailed inspection report. But he returned for a 2nd inspection because the tenants had failed to clear the floor area in the garage on his first visit. We also had a phone conversation regarding his findings.
On the third visit he performed the chemical treatment on the area specified above to rid the property of the termite infestation and guaranteed the service for one year.
I found their service to be exemplary and professional; their price for the work seemed fair and reasonable.
I would definitely use them again as well as recommend them to others.

The overall service was good. The workers who came did a very thorough investigation and mailed me the report. It was very thorough. Everything they recommended, we did. Setting up the time took a while. There was some miscommunication.

The inspection was scheduled for the day following the original call to the company. The inspection was thorough, taking approximately one hour. Several areas of infestation were located, as well as some dry rot in the garage. Getting an appointment for extermination took one week from the inspection date. The exterminator was thorough and professional. However, after drilling a hole in our living room wall (with our prior consent), he left a rather messy bunch of white splotches on the wall, which did not fill in the entire hole.
Response from Yamaguchi Termite Control
"First of all, our apologies for leaving a "messy bunch of white splotches on the wall". It is not our intent to leave a mess after a treatment and patching the wall. We will be contacting you to arrange to repatch the wall to your satisfaction. Please feel free to contact us directly if there are any additional problems. Thank you."
