Dewey employees would show up one day and not the next. I would call and be promised that they would be out one day or another, but they would not appear. I would have to call them to find out what was happening. Very poor communication which I always had to initiate. At one point an employee was injured, and I understood the delay caused by this, but I could not understand the failure to communicate with me the problems they were having. Several times I was told somebody would be out on a specific day and they would never show. I would have to make the call in the afternoon to find out when what happened. This happened several times. Additionally, damaged wood was just left laying about and I became the cleanup crew. I did not expect this. I had good luck with Dewey several years ago so I was surprised by the lack of professionalism.
Description of Work: Repair damage from dry rot and termite.

THEY WERE SO KIND TO US GETTING THIS DONE. WE WERE SCARED THEY WOULD STING OUR DAUGHTER AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. COST WAS GREAT AND WILL USE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: THEY CAME AND REMOVED A BEE HIVE FROM MY BACK PORCH. THE COST WAS VERY CHEAP DUE TO SMALL HIVE AND THAT IT WAS NOT IN THE WALLS. THEY DID A GOOD JOB CONTAINING THEM OR MY DAUGHTER WOULD'VE GOTTEN VERY SICK.

WE CALLED DEWEY BECAUSE WE WANTED A SECOND OPINION WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT WE HAD TERMITES IN OUR GARAGE AND A SECTION OF OUR ATTIC. THE FIRST COMPANY (WHO TOLD US THAT THERE WERE TERMITES) RECOMMENDED A $1600 TREATMENT TO ELIMINATE THE ALLEGED INFESTATION. DEWEY INSPECTED AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF TERMITE INFESTATION, AND THEREFORE NO NEED FOR FURTHER TREATMENT. THE BUYERS BROUGHT YET ANOTHER INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR OUT WHO CONFIRMED THERE WERE NO TERMITES - DEWEY'S PROFESSIONALISM AND HONESTY SAVED US $1600!
Description of Work: PEST INSPECTION FOR SALE OF 1900 SQ FT HOME.

I ALWAYS HAD TO CALL AND FIND OUT WHEN THEY WERE COMING WHEN THEY WOULDN'T SHOW UP. THEY NEGLECTED TO COME FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND OUR ANT PROBLEMS GOT OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN THE ANTS WERE TAKING OVER THE HOUSE, I TRIED TO GET THEM TO COME, AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE STAFF TO COME OUT IMMEDIATELY AND HELP US. I CANCELLED THAT DAY TELLING THEM NOT TO BOTHER COMING BACK, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD ISSUE A REFUND FOR THE AMOUNT WE HAD ALREADY PAID FOR SERVICE WE DID NOT GET. THEN WE CALLED ANOTHER SERVICE THAT CAME OUT IMMEDIATELY AND HELPED US. EVEN THOUGH WE TOLD DEWEY NOT TO COME BACK, LATER THAT DAY THEY HAD SOMEONE COME OUT AND SPRAY A SMALL PART OF OUR PROPERTY (BECAUSE WE WERE NOT HOME, THEY COULDN'T GET TO THE WHOLE THING). SO THAT DAY OUR PROPERTY WAS SPRAYED BY 2 PEST CONTROL COMPANIES. WE ALSO NEVER SAW A REFUND.
Description of Work: THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SPRAYING THE PROPERTY TO KEEP THE ANTS AND OTHER BUGS UNDER CONTROL, ON A SET UP TIME SCHEDULE.
