Wirhin a day or so from signing up for the "deal" A-1 called me to schedule the appointment. They were very professional and punctual. When the technician came to the house he was also professional. Within a few days of the appointment they also sent me a certificate. We will definitely continue to use them.

It was a free estimate. They gave me a series of things that I needed to do and I am waiting on them for follow up. The man who came was very professional and did an excellent job. The owner personally contacted me several times through email and I talked to him on the phone trying to help us in going through the process. I was very impressed by that.

I like them because they are very informative, upfront with their prices and will check other things that do not pertain to their products (i.e. crawl under your house to check for termites, but will also let you know if something else is wrong). I would say that they are a little pricey.
Description of Work: I initially paid A-1 Inc Exterminators $900, then now pay $175 for yearly services.

Response from A-1 Inc Exterminators
We are are so pleased that this client is happy with our service! She has been a pleasure to work with from day one. I was concerned that she feels our prices are a little high though. She started with a complete termite treatment to her home which was $965.00 and now pays a annual warranty renewal fee of $135.00, not $175.00. We believe we are just about mid-range for our renewal fee compared to most of our competitors and have held on to that standard fee of $135.00 after a treatment for four years now. I would feel $175.00 a year was a little high too. We thank this client for taking the time to write about her experience with our company. We sincerely appreciate her business!

We recently had a new roof put on the house and the workers found termites around our chiminey so we immediately got on Angies List to find a company with an excellent rating -- we found A-1 Inc Exterminators. First the representative from A-1 came out on Firday, 2/24, to look at our home to tell us what needed to be done and what the cost would be. The A-1 representative did an excellent job inspecting the house , he did find we hhd a few problems that needed to be taken care of. He told us what needed to be done and what the cost would be which seemed very fair to us. We told him we wanted them to do the work and he scheduled to come out on Monday, 2/27/12 at 11:00 a.m. He was on time and spent several hours getting the job done. He was neat and cleaned up in all areas where he performed work. He did not hurry and explained to my husband what he was doing. We were so impressed that we signed up for a yearly inspection with A-1. We highly recommend this company. This is the first time we have used Angie's List and I am so glad that we did.
Description of Work: The company came out to our home and treated for terminates. We have an older home and have tried to take good care of it over the years so it was important that we get the work done right by a good company.

We've been very happy with A1 Inc Exterminators. We got them off of Angie's List. I think we paid a little over $1000. We liked their service oriented technicians. Their price was fine. We would use them again in the future if need be.
Description of Work: We had A1 Inc Exterminators come out and treat for termites 3 months ago. We were being treated for termites with the leading chemical, termidor.

Great! Not only have both guys who have been out been polite and professional, but the initial guy found a HUGE problem under the house, that we have since had repaired. A-1 was not involved with the needed repairs, so did not make any money off of their discovery. A couple of other people had been under the house in the past year and didn't mention anything to us. THANK YOU A-1!!!

A-1 is great. After a not so pleasant arrangement with another local company. I tried A-1 and was pleasantly surprised. Most recently, I called because with the weather changing I was noticing mice droppings in my new house. They were able to come out the next day. I have to add here that the office staff is wonderful as well. They were more than accomodating with my very hectic schedule and made it seem like it was no bother at all. When the service technician came over (I was late to my appt.) he was kind and although I was apologetic he said 'no problem' and got right to work. I expected a real quick once over given that I had most assuredly put him off schedule...but instead, he took the time assessed the situation...treated the areas that he felt would best be a deterent for the mice. AND... then he went around the house inside and out to see what could be the cause of my recent mice sightings in a relatively brand new house. After a thorough inspection, he notice that my builder had not insured that the areas around my foundation vents were sealed, as well as there were areas around where the pipes entered my house that were not sealed. In short, in my less than 1 1/2 year old house, there were gapping holes that were giving the mice free access from the fields next door. After explaining what services he performed and what some preventative measures I as the how owner could do ...he told me what services A-1 performed that could help and gave me a quote. Not a power sell at all...which is always nice. He broke it down into easy homeowner fix and professional fix, and explained how they could be done in conjunction to save money. Needless to say...I purchased the guardian plan, so that I can call them for whatever pest issues and it's covered. My husband and I are working on getting funds so that they can do the recommended fixes for pest exclusion (probably after Christmas :-) ). I called within the next couple of days feeling 100% assured that they were reliable enough to be the Exterminator service provider for my rental property and purchased the Guardian plan for that property as well. Awesome experience!!!! That one and all the others...

The technician that came out was very knowledgable and professional. The problem with the company though was with the billing situation. I felt that the price was too high and we could not work out all the details in the Big Deal that I purchased..

Response from A-1 Inc Exterminators
First, the member called and requested an inspection only and not only did not tell us about the Big Deal coupon she purchased but used a different address than we were given by Angie's List when we were notified of the purchase, not that this was a problem because she could have used the service at the address of her choice. But had we known this going in, we would have been able to clear up any misconceptions prior to the visit. She either did not read or ignored the "Fine Print" in the coupon stating that if she had current termite problems, there would be additional charges since the treatment method would be different. We tried to explain the difference and why additional charged would apply because her home has a serious active termite problem at this time. In the end, her only concern was that she has purchased a coupon for $750 (Reg price $1500) and that it should cover whatever she needed regardless of the terms of the deal. She ultimately chose to use another company. We are very disappointed that we were unable to be of any help.

Annual inspections are set to our convenience and not theirs. We have always had good news when they inspect our place and they have never tried to upsell us, just asked us if we needed anything extra.(ie; spraying for creepy crawlers) .
Description of Work: We have had an annual contract with this company for the last 3 years and are very happy with the extra information they have readily given us when we had questions and the professionalism of all their employees., We used a large national pest control before using A-1 and had terrible experiences with them A-1 is a great company to do business with and I trust them. Can't say that about the company we had before changing to A-1.
