We called J&M Termite Control when we found termites in our garage roof. They scheduled us for an appointment with Home Inspector Louis Bimbi. He examined our home inside and out, from top to bottom including the attic and crawl space. All his findings were marked on a map of the house. Using the map, Louis walked me around the house pointing out both major and minor problem areas, prioritizing what need to be done first, etc.. We also received a complete report of the inspection. Without this inspection, we would not have known where and when to begin repairs.

Went well! Very prompt and fair. I had visible damage and needed wood repairs- I had an inspection, and repairs were suggested. The repairs were scheduled easily and the work was completed in a day, The whole team is really great! Thanks J+M

Louis came and inspected thoroughly. He knows construction well so could show me the problems found in a walk around the house and whether the problem was cosmetic or otherwise. He told me things I could do myself and what needed to be fixed by someone else, such as a minor roof repair. The report showed not only problems in an easy to understand manner but different priced options for fixing them.

"Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We apologize that we were unable to help you, we are not a general pest control company. We only deal with wood destroying organisms such as termites and fungus. Unfortunately, Angie's List does not have a separate category for termite."

What a pleasant interaction! From the first call, scheduling the inspection, to the time Louis left my house: Professional, friendly and honest! I'd wish more companies would offer service quality like J&M. Thank you! Kai

They are excellent but very high. They are like the premier service. I live in the San Francisco peninsula, and they are the premier termite company on the peninsula. They are very good but very high. I just flipped out because of the price. I thought somebody else who could do just as good a job but for less money. But they are very busy. I know they are busy all the time. I see their trucks all over the place.

They were great. They need to lower their prices, but I don't have that kind of money. Everything is A except for the cost. I wouldn't use them again because of the cost, but they are a great company.
Response from J & M Termite Control

"I was attempting to look up this report and I am not finding it based on your address on your profile. I am sorry you feel this way but we are really competitive with our pricing being in a very expensive area to do business. But I would like to check out the report and take a look for quality control. If you could send the property address to me or report number would be best so the address doesn't have to be written. Thanks in advance, Scott"

Louis did the inspection and he was thorough and detailed. Before he started the inspection, Louis explained me the process and how long it would take to complete the work. Louis was very efficient and did not waste any time. After each inspection he made notes and the affected area in his layout of the house. He explained me the issues/problems as completed each area. He checked for water leaks and for cracks in the plumbing/drainage. I had termite inspection done few years back and this current inspection was clearly outstanding. Louis helped to clean-up scraps of cardboard underneath the house and change the light bulb in the attic. These are not covered under normal inspection of the house. These extra service always impress  the home owners!!! and is PLUS for J&M.
 I highly recommend J&M Termite Control and in particular Louis( if he is available) and I am sure others in the company are equally well qualified.

The inspection was done well in general.  The inspector was courteous, pleasant, and helpful. Also seemed knowledgeable. However, I had to call to get the report.  So though the inspector arrived punctually, the report did not.  --
Also, the inspector's report listed large areas that were not inspected, because of access problems.  I should have been notified of that problem before the inspector left rather than weeks later when the tardy report arrived in my view.  -- 
Most importantly, I will avoid J&M when I sensibly can, since on a previous occasion when we hired them to do remediation, they drilled right into a water pipe and accepted no responsibility for the subsequent damage. That is not the behavior or a reputable contractor.
Response from J & M Termite Control

"Member, J&M will inspect all areas that are available to inspect at time of inspection and will notify in report if areas are not inspected and will come back if needed to inspect these areas. Our contract that is signed states that we are not responsible for pipes hidden below concrete, which is standard in our industry. The report states that this could happen and owners could hire metal detection firm to identify the pipes before our arrival. There is no way for us to know that the pipe is there and we use a metal detection drill stop device to help detect but sometimes the damage has been done by the time it shuts off. Both of these situations are rare but do happen in this industry and we do our best to take care of them. Management"

I called them in May and they said they were really busy for the next month and would call them back. I?m still waiting. If they can do it I?d be happy to have them do it.

Response from J & M Termite Control

"[Member Name], I sent an email to you concerning this situation and asking since I don't have your number for you to call in to schedule. Maybe the problem was I had a wrong email for you. I don't know what happened we don't usually set it up for us to call you back to schedule we could have just scheduled in advanced. Either way I would like to take care of this situation and apologize for the miscommunication. If you could with send me your number or call the office at 650-969-5556 and explain that this is a Angieslist big deal we can get you taken care of. Thanks Scott"

They were the least expensive. It probably turns out that you don't need to worry about termites.
