For an inspection, that’s about the going rate. They are very thorough and prompt. They did their work and they are known. I would rate them highly.

They did a good job and my house is still termite-free today. After filing the report, I took their recommendations to add concrete to the outdoor porch posts. The concrete shoring-up to the posts outside has withstood 3 winter rainy seasons fine. They came to spray for termites once under the house. A week later I noticed an area inside the house that still had termites roaming in the walls. I was told to wait until a few weeks had passed to make sure the toxin had penetrated the subterranean termite lodgings and reached the queen. After this time passed and there were still termites in the wall, they came back and sprayed under the brick front porch. This solved the problem.
Description of Work: They performed an inspection for a complete structural pest control report. Follow-up work involved adding concrete bases to outdoor wooden posts and spraying for termites under the house and porch.

We encountered these guys in the process of buying our house. They were hired by the previous owner, we believe at the recommendation of our real estate agent. A&R were very difficult to deal with; they routinely ignored phone calls, they did a lousy job of managing their subcontractors, and they apparently never filed the final inspection with the county. Also, we suspect some parts of the job were either not done or at best done poorly.
Description of Work: Replacement of a damaged stall shower, remediation of rot caused by a leaky toilet, including reseating of toilet.

They did neglect to inspect our garage as part of our initial home inspection when we purchased the home. We found the termites ourselves, unfortunately.
Description of Work: They tented our 400 sq. ft. detached garage and used Vikane gas to eliminate pests. The whole process lasted 2 days.

It went fairly well. The person who came out to do the initial inspection and quote was good to work with and professional, but it was difficult to communicate with the guys who came to do the actual work because of a language barrier. We had to have them come back because they forgot to put up a piece of trim, but they did it at no extra cost. Overall the quality of the work was good.
Description of Work: They removed the plaster on the front part of the house, removed a whole section of dry-rot removed wood reaming, replastered the front of the house and chemically treated it for termites.

My experience with them was not so good. They were going to fix a leak in the deck. It looks like the problem came back. At the time they were pretty expensive. I called them to come and replace it. They said no because it was out of Warranty.
Description of Work: They replaced my deck five years ago.

On my first phone call, they immediately forwarded me to an expert for advice over the phone. The expert asked several questions about the condition of the building, past inspections, and evidence of problems I may have noticed. I agreed to an on-site inspection scheduled later in the same week.
Description of Work: They offered to inspect the entire house for termite damage and infestation or to just look as specific problems. They gave some advice on corrective action over the phone. The on site inspection and corrective action have not yet been performed.
