The representative came to the house and walked around. He did not look in the attic, explaining why doing so wouldn't reveal any useful information. He was informative about Termites and what to expect. He prepared an estimate of work in several areas amounting to over $1600. After consideration I requested services for about $700 of the work. The rep did not readily return phone calls. He indicated he'd be willing to do the work, but wasn't very responsive. Apparently they only wanted to honor the $500 credit if I elected to have all of the services they recommended. Although that is not an unreasonable condition, it was never stated or written. I requested a refund from Angie's list and received it promptly. As no work was done, I have no comment on the quality of their work. I recommend that all parties clarify the limitations of special offers up front.
Description of Work: For $99 I purchased a credit of $500 towards a detailed inspection and termite & dry rot damage repair. There seemed to be additional conditions that were not explained up front, so we did complete the project.

The process took a day longer than expected. The first day they tented and treated the house. The second day they aired out the house. I returned that second evening, but I has having some reactions because they did not properly air out the house. I ended up calling the company and leaving for the rest of the evening. They came first thing in the morning and brought numerous fans. I met up with them; I pretty much had to handle the airing out of the house. I helped them set up the fans, and then they left. They said they'd be back to pick up the fans after a few hours. I was disappointed with the service after the tenting--everything up to that point had been wonderful.
Description of Work: An inspector came out to assess my termite situation. He recommended that I have my house tented. My house was completely tented to kill the termites.

They were very prompt. The technician was extremely informative and now I know what to look for and how to prevent. They provided ant traps just in case I needed them which was great. Their price was great and they were very responsive. He put some additional treatment on just in case. I called to follow up on some questions and he came back out and noticed an area of concern and reapplied another treatment. Theresa in the office was great and was able to give me a quote over the phone that they stuck to.
Description of Work: They sprayed for ants.

The representative from The Termite Guy who came out and inspected my home and garage and prepared the bid to tent them to eradicate the termites was great. (I knew I had a termite problem already and had already obtained two other bids.) He showed up on time, and was courteous, thorough, and professional. The bid was excellent. Of the three bids for tenting that I obtained, this bid was the lowest by a few hundred dollars, taking into account the Angie's List $500 discount I bought for $99. All communications with The Termite Guy were via email and/or follow-up telephone calls, and the representatives I communicated with were always prompt and helpful. All the way up to the day I arranged to move my family and pets out of the house for the weekend so that the tenting could be performed, everything went well. Then I learned at the last minute that the tenting of my house and garage was going to be performed by a sub-contractor, and not by The Termite Guy, with whom I had contracted. That bothered me, especially since no one had mentioned it in advance.. Then I also learned at the last minute as we were preparing to drive out of town to stay with family for a long weekend while the work was going to be performed, that the sub-contractor could not tent the garage at the same time as the house because there was a fence in the way that had to be taken down. So we had the house tented that weekend, and then had to make alternative arrangements so that the garage could be separately tented at a later time. It seemed to me that the original inspector who gave us the bid should have been able to determine that the fence was going to be a problem so that we could have moved it to allow for the garage to be tented at the same time as the house. That would have been much more convenient. In the end, I appreciated that I was not charged anything more by The Termite Guy for the two separate tentings that had to be done, and as far as I can tell, all termites are gone.

I used this company because they had a special on Angie's List of $500 of termite treatment for $99. The initial inspector seemed a nice enough fellow, however neither he nor the company gave me any prep instructions for the work I ended up scheduling with them. I had Termite Heat Treatment done for Drywood Termites to the front of my house, and Injection Treatment done for Subterranean Termites in the back of my house. Turns out that this heat treatment can melt candles in the room, so I had to scramble around and move stuff out of the room when the people showed up to do the work. They propped up an old tarp with some old poles both on the inside and outside of my front walls. The area didn't appear to be sealed that well, and the poles left dirty marks on my ceiling which I later discovered. Many of my friends have since said that I paid way too much ($2,100 after the discount) for the small area I had treated.

See above. The Termite Guy was a Big Deal offer and they had no problem handling the volume of requests- as opposed to other Big Fral providers I've tried. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: The Termite Guy was fantastic. They were responsive -I called to schedule the day after their offices burnt down (!) and they still sent someone out in a timely manner. Their representative was professional, knowledgeable and punctual Just a great experience all around. Highly recommended.

They were very punctual and easy to talk to and can up with a plan that we understood and the follow up visits really helped as at one point we they were and quot;swarmingand quot;. We will continue to use this co. for further inspections etc.
Description of Work: We bought the $99 voucher because we knew we had a problem and were not satisfied with the previous company that had done the inspection at escrow. They came to house and did the inspection and confirmed our problem was carpenter ants and created a treatment plan. But the voucher could not be used as it was not termites, this was a little dissapointing but we liked the service and went ahead with the treatment and paid a further $50 and this included 2 follow up visits in the end.

The inspector was very nice, prompt and polite. He even came back when i had questions about a area I thought he missed. I am just disappointed that I wasted $99 only to get an inspection.
Description of Work: I bought the Angie's Deal which included a home inspection and $500 towards work on the house. This might be a good deal if you know you have termite damage but our inspector told us we do not have a termite problem so basically we spent $99 for someone to give us a termite inspection that I believe is normally free.

Purchased a discounted inspection with money to be applied to any service performed. The inspector showed up on time, and gave a thorough inspection of interior and exterior, finding a few spots on the exterior that had been missed by the condo association's inspector 18 months or so before. No termite damage was found on the interior, and when we notified the association of the exterior damage were told they'd have it taken care of, so we did not have any services performed by this vendor at the time. Even after the $500 credit, the estimate for just a couple of spots on the exterior was $300, which went well beyond what I was expecting. We didn't get a second estimate since the damage found was on the outside. But my experience with the inspector was entirely positive.

On arrival, the termite man came and looked very carefully over the job. He found a few termites outside, which I did not realize I had festering. He pointed them out after his initial inspection. He did not feel I needed to tent my home at this time. Told me he would get back to me in a few days with a complete estimate and work order. They did just as they said they would and gave a very detailed work order that was easy to understand and also gave the name of the chemicals they would use. The exterminator came on the agreed date of service, completed the job very carefully and thoroughly. I would recommend them to anyone that needs termite work.
Description of Work: Had termites round the home in a few extending roof rafters and in the garage, just in one corner. They came and did a great job. No more worries. Very nice and clean workers.
