The representative, Guy DeBeauvieres, came to my home to provide a quote. Once he finished he gave me the quote and I mentioned a Big Deal from Angie's List offering $500 towards pest treatment and he refused to honor this. He was very rude in how he spoke, it was unprofessional. According to Guy, the job would have to be $2000 or $3000 to qualify for the $500 credit, the deal says nothing about this.

Purchased a coupon for $99 for $500 worth of Termite Preventative Services. The gentleman came out to look at our home and the project. He was very professional initially, however, I received an estimate that the job was now going to cost me $5,000. I was shocked and decided not to use this company.

Two years ago we called a company advertising on the radio to treat some termites because we saw the little pepper specs around the window. They did but there were mini blinds up and so there were screw holes where these were. Recently due to a water leak the blinds had to come down and we began seeing the termite pepper stuff again. Believing it was a reoccurrence of the old problem we called on the Angies List Big Deal. As it turns out, what we were seeing was old stuff from before coming down through the holes left by the blinds and no active infestation was found. We were given great suggestions on how to d other repairs so that this is not an ongoing problem.
Description of Work: Great recommendations regarding my "termite" issues and suggestions to resolve. Turned out the issue was not a current infestation but remnants of an old one that had been resolved a couple years earlier without appropriate repairs after treatment.

The Termite Guy company came out and did a thorough inspection and told me that we have drywood and subterranean termites and recommend spray treatment in the crawlspace for the subterranean termites and fumigation for the entire house for the drywood termites......My house is a 1957 ranch style with 1377 square feet.....The quote for the work after the $500 off offer came to $1995....The quote sounded pretty reasonable but I thought I better get a couple more quotes.I realized that many companies give FREE inspections and I called a couple more. The other two companies said we only have drywood termites and they recommended fumigation. I went with another company that charged $1500 for fumigation as 2 out of 3 companies said I do not have subterranean termites. I feel that The Termite Guy was too expensive because they charged $2495 for tenting and spraying. The offer I bought was $500 off coming to a total of $1995 for tenting and spraying.That's what they said they would charge me. I felt they jacked the beginning price to $2495 because of the $500 off offer. So the end result was approximately the same as other quotes I got from companies that didn't offer the $500 off. So I went with another company. I spent $99 on "The Big Deal" for nothing.
Description of Work: This was an "Angie's List Big Deal" offer.The offer was a $99 inspection with up to $500 off of termite treatment services performed. I bought this offer as I didn`t know that many companies give free estimates for termite inspections.,and the $500 off offer sounded like a great deal.

The experience was fine overall. They were very professional and helpful on the phone. During the installation, however, they had to disconnect our cable service in order to place the tint on our home and they didn't re-connect it properly. I needed to call the service guy from the cable company to have this fixed and was charged a service call fee. When I called the Termite Guy about this, they told me they'd refund that charge, but I haven't looked for that refund yet. Also, there was a vent on my water heater with a rain cap, and once the work was done, the gas company came out to turn my gas back on, they wouldn't do it, since it wasn't venting properly. However, I was able to take care of this on my own.

They didn't show up twice when we scheduled an appointment; without any notice or calls. His quote was a little high, even with the discount, so we went with another company that was able to do the work at a much lower cost. I feel like the coupon that we purchased from Angie's List had no value. Also, he couldn't offer a long-term service plan like the other company.

My overall experience with them is a D because the quality of their service is not that good. They charge me with so many things without carrying out the deal I had with the salesman. I'll also say that they are very unprofessional since they are not honest with their costumers.

Freddy showed up to do the work. A very delightful guy. Got right to it and explained what he had done and where. I felt confident with him
Description of Work: Got rid of subterranean termites where needed under mobile home. It was a huge relief to have this work done. I had been dreading it but when Scott Jones (inspector) came to give estimate, he was very understanding of out financial limits and let us know what the most important thing we should do that we could afford. Very professional. He later sent an estimate which was very reasonable (in comparison to prices i previously checked out. It was thanks to Angie's List that we could afford the special deal that was offered. I highly recommend this company.

There was nothing dramatic about this job. It was a remove and replace operation, so we didn't get any enhanced value ! The work was done well, and the final result was exactly what was needed. We also had them replace some trim on other areas of the house. All of the work was done well, and painted. The end result is a clean look, and no more dry rot or pesky termites. Some of the work required cutting in to match the previous construction. It was all done with precision and looks exactly as it should. This company has done work for some of my clients in the past and everyone has received a good job at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: The 2nd story deck off our master bedroom has been rotting, and host to termites, for several years. I also had some other areas of dry rot to be repaired. The rep came out, inspected, the work, and later sent me a clear proposal. We knew it was best to do a 100% replacement. The company had to completely remove all of the wood related to the deck ( aprox 10 x 15 ), and replace it with all new wood. They also had to paint it prior to installation because of an existing patio cover. The work included all new joists, headers, decking, railing, and caps. It took about 3 days to complete the work.

They had a special, they were going to give you $500 of free service but there was a trick to it. The trick is, that they ran in there and they found one set of termite rings and came down with an $1800 dollar estimate and of course you get 500 dollars of that. So, I wasn't too impressed with that. The estimate he gave me was ridiculous. I asked him how long it would take him to do the work and he said that it would take about take him 2 hours. Two hours for a technician to spray for $1800 sounds kind of like a little bit much.
Description of Work: The Termite Guy did an inspection for termites. I didn't actually use The Termite Guy. They gave me an 1800 dollar estimate. He drew a diagram that there were 2 or 3 localized spots that he saw.

Response from The Termite Guy
The recommended $1800 treatment listed in this report is not a trick. The primary recommended method of control was to fumigate the structure; however, at the request of the owner, we recommended to locally treat the infestations. Bora Care is a local treatment for termites AND a broadcast spray of every timber in the attic. This not only eradicates the termites but also serves as a preventative for future infestations of wood-destroying organisms. While all of our local treatments are guaranteed for one year, this treatment comes with a three-year warranty. With an annual control program in place the guarantee extends through to ten years. As noted on our Big Deal ad, this type of local termite treatment ranges from $1,300 to $3,300. Once the $500 discount is applied, the client receives a $1300 termite eradication, preventative method of control AND a three year guarantee. This gives you more value for your Angie’s List dollar than our primary recommendation of fumigating the property for the listed $1,250-$4,000 range. Listed on our Big Deal page is the general idea of average termite treatment costs for a 1,250-2,500 sq. ft. property: • Fumigation treatments will typically be $1,250 to $4,000 • Heat extermination costs about $1,200 to $2,750 • Chemical treatment prices range from $1,300 to $3,300 • Bait extermination can cost between $1,600 to $3,200

Well this is my wife's family home, that her parents purchased in 1960, when her mother passed away in nov of 2011, we moved out here from the mid-west. We called the termite guy to do a inspection, and the rest is history. Everyone at The Termite Guy has done a great job, Thanks for great service.
Description of Work: Well we had evidence of drywood termites, the recommendation was to fumigate the house as a primary method of control using sulfuryl fluoride. we also had about $650.00 worth wood damage. that they are going to repair for us.

I called to schedule the free inspection and was asked about a coupon code. When I explained that I was collecting estimates and if they "won" the business, I planned to purchase the $500 of service for $99 coupon. The company said they wouldn't provide the estimate without the purchase of the coupon. As a savvy business, they could have easily written the estimate with the coupon usage in mind providing great customer service. Instead, they walked away from my account.

For over two decades, The Termite Guy and IRC Services has been performing free termite, pest control and roofing inspections for all of our customers. The customer was informed that the $99 Angie’s List campaign provides a $500 discount for termite treatment with the presentation of a coupon code. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication and this was interpreted to mean that termite inspections cost $99. At The Termite Guy, our customers are second to none and we continuously strive to meet their termite, pest and construction needs by providing great customer service. We are happy to offer all customers a termite inspection and send a complete report with findings and recommendations, because inspections are always free.

They sprayed kitchen and washer area for cockroaches behind stove and refrigerator and under sink area. Also around baseboards and put out bait traps.
Description of Work: We had a roach problem. Price should never be your concern here with renters. I chose this company for two reasons. (1) they had a bug expert that graduated from my college. (2) Company location was 2 blocks away from my rental. After 1st application and one call back for same problem, they wanted further moneys to treat same problem that they never exterminated first time around.

Response from The Termite Guy
Here at The Termite Guy we are willing to remedy the situation to make the customer happy. Sometimes roach infestations do require more than one treatment to eradicate the problem. Our initial visit involved a perimeter treatment, dusting of the walls and a kitchen cleanout. However, the kids’ room was not prepped (per directions given to the tenants); therefore that area could not be treated. Another treatment was performed within the warranty period and since that time we have not been contacted again for any re-infestations. We pride ourselves in outstanding service and take these allegations of poor service very seriously. After numerous messages left and attempts to contact the owner to resolve the problem we, to date, still have not received a call back from owner. We invite the homeowner to return our calls and see where the miscommunication occurred. We can be contacted at 949-940-1010 or toll free at 1-877-TERMITE / 1-877-837-6483.

Termites were swarming my home so I called Jeff Hiatt advertised on the radio. A $4,500 Orange Oil treatment was recommended! When I told the inspector I was selling my home he told me he'd have to fumigate if I wanted an "Escrow Clearance". I asked him why he recommended Orange Oil in the first place and he said "our management has a bonus program for the most volume in Orange Oil treatments we sell". The Termite Guy, (his name is actually Guy) was on time and organized. He offered me several different options, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each. I decided that fumigation was the answer. Not only did The Termite Guy cover my house with no roof damage, they didn't even make me sign a damage waiver like other guys wanted me to sign. Here's the best part, they did all of this for $3,200, $1,300 less than the other guys wanted for the Orange Oil treatment alone! * Pros: Excellent work, fair prices. * Cons: None, they did exactly what they said they said they would do."
