The only slightly negative thing that I can say about this company is that the cost is a little high for exterminating, but not too bad, and you get what you pay for.
"Thanks for your honesty, we really appreciate your business!"
Their professionals take time to answer questions about a space I will never venture. They write comments on the yearly report and treat the perimeter of the house with granules after the termite inspection. Very nice company to deal with.
"12/4/2013 02:53 PM DONNA CARTER -> SENT EMAIL TODAY CANCELLING HER POLICY - NEVER RESPONDED TO OUR EMAILS OR PHONE CALLS. 11/8/2013 02:21 PM DONNA CARTER -> DID NOT HEAR FROM [member name removed], I HAD LEFT A MESSAGE WITH HER VOICE MAIL ON 11-1-2013 ASKING WHAT WAS SHE LOOKING FOR, TO PLEASE CALL ME. SHE NEVER DID, SO, I SENT HER ANOTHER INVOICE WITH MORE FINANCE CHARGES."
After some phone calls in which they answered all my questions and walked me through what they would do I scheduled the work. The work in the crawlspace was scheduled to take place over 2 days and 1 week later they would apply the fungicidal treatment. Work was scheduled for mid-Oct but a massive downpour took place which flooded my crawlspace. I got the water out and they came out again to check the crawl to ensure that it was safe to work down in. A new date was agreed on.
Workers came out and worked 2.5 days to replace wood in the crawlspace. Workers were professional. Workers even replaced some damaged wood that was not part of the initial contract.
I had 3 issues with the work:
1. When they did the fungicidal treatment I had a panic attack when I looked into my crawlspace and saw it was blue. I didn't realize the crawlspace was going to be left in a smurf-like state.
2. In order to the joists into the crawl they had to pull out a crawlspace vent. The crawlspace vent does not fit the same as it once did but some caulk around the seams seems to hold the vent in place.
3. When they maneuvered the joists into the crawlspace, while they were able to successfully maneuver it up, over, and around 5k worth of new ductwork, they did create a 3in. tear in the insulation only around the main-duct-trunk line. Though, it is nothing that some foil-tape cannot fix.
