    They came to do an inspection and wrote a report. Quote was around $1500 for a remediation and year warranty. That was fine. They seemed professional. Sadly, like most people in the Bay Area who work on homes the actual work is less than to be desired. They show up, no call. Strike one. We have no doorbell so they were supposed to call when they were on their way over. Luckily our upstairs neighbor had the garage open so we didn't miss them. The team lead and workers barely able to communicate in English. They are asking us questions that are supposed to be covered in the report. They didn't read it. I figure it's because they likely could not, it's in English. The company should translate it for them or read it to them before they get here. Very unprofessional. We had to call the company to ensure they knew wtf they were supposed to be doing before we started and wasted a ton of money. Meanwhile our whole house is ripped apart in preparation. They are supposed to be closing entry holes in the property. I have zero faith they will do what they said. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a hellish year getting them to do their job if this start is any indication of the work to come. They oversell and under provide. Typical Bay Area contractor BS. I am sick of these men in these companies seeing women and thinking we are just push overs. I'm pissed off at the unprofessionalism of their execution of our contract. Not looking forward to seeing how they uphold the warranty. Editing to add: These brilliant work people lied while they were here and said they didn't turn off our water valve. Spent an hour and a half talking with various agencies to find out they turned off the house water and lied about it. Awesome! They also didn't do half the job and didn't do the garage. They were supposed to per their quote but just didn't do it. Amazing. The lies saying they didn't do the water shut off is insane. Had to call support twice to get help with the water as the first person hung up on me. WTH is wrong with this company? Support person got into it with me saying they *did* call this morning. Turns out they had the wrong number listed to call. Left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing. Support also said maybe I just spoke with the wrong person and it wasn't a lie, just someone else turned off the water. Seriously? This is the level of professionalism they expect us to deal with? The person who showed us what was done didn't know why the water was off. Note that you need to interrogate each person on the team, according to support, because they don't talk amongst themselves. Insane take by a company that claims to conduct a professional business. Final result on the first day is Management said they would call then chickened out, didn't call and we had to track down support. Support called us back after we called back an hour later and said we were out of luck, they would not do anything to rectify turning off our water. They denied any action or doing anything to our water line ... big surprise. Support accused us of doing it to ourselves. Amazing. Why would we ask your workers about it before they left and then follow through for hours with PUC / Water Department if we did it ourselves. Worst company ever. Do not use these people. The red flags were there when they didn't call or read the report/know what they were there to do. They seemed like they wouldn't do a good job and sadly we let them run around our house without watching them close enough. Disgusting management and disgusting workers who clearly did this to mess with us as we're are just women who live alone. I hate this is the world we live in now. Shame on this company! For anyone who has a bad experience remember they are licensed and this is why complaint processes exist: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Filing_A_Complaint/Complaint_Against_Licensed_Contractors.aspx

    How are they for returning to deal with anything during warrant y? And did you have problems past warranty? Does anyone have a tile roof?

    Unsure about roof. However they are very willing to come out during warranty period for anything needed. I'm not past my warranty so unable to answer but I can say that at the end of the warranty you have an option to extend it.

    Anyone willing to share what they paid for this service? Looks good, but expensive.

    I called around all the top reviewed places and decided on Original Rodent Proofing. They were…read morecompetitive, not the cheapest, but Shannon Lee sold me on their work, along with Brandon (owner's) call to check in and answer any questions. Their warranty on work done was another key factor. An electrician found a dead rat and droppings in the attic, so I needed clean up and rodent proofing. In the crawl space, a bunch of the ducts were unattached by wear and tear and plumbing work that had been done in the past (which I didn't know. No wonder my gas bill was so high over the winter!). Shannon and team cleaned everything up, sanitized, reattached the ducts and rodent proofed the whole house on the outside. Apparently the attic was vulnerable, as prior owners' foam had been chewed through in the eaves. After they were done they set traps which will be checked every few weeks. I will update if there are any further rodents but I am confident in the work by the company and team. I highly recommend this family owned company.

    Before hiring, I had asked my local mom's group, local raves and rants page and Nextdoor... these…read morefolks came up as highly recommended. So we interviewed them for the job. The guy who came out was on time, a bit eccentric and very passionate about rats. He was detail oriented and did a great job explaining the job and its breakdown. Unfortunately on the day of the job, we had 4 guys come to our home on time- but none of them spoke English. Now, I appreciate them coming out, but we just could not communicate and they did not have work trucks or shirts with their company name. An hour later, we had a younger guy show up and he spoke English. The crew worked really fast, did a nasty job of removing our rodent infested insulation and put in new insulation, they mixed concrete and patched up some holes as well and put out rat traps. They came back twice to check the traps and removed them. I think they did a good job, appreciate their punctuality. But management should always send someone who speaks some English and provide a company truck or at least shirts. I personally felt uncomfortable letting into my home a group of random men with no identification.

I finally had something scheduled (actually canceled someone else because Dan's reviews seemed more encouraging) 11 days ahead. Before that date came around I had inspections/estimates from two more companies and the job done by one. (and likely better done than Dan because it sounds Dan wouldn't have opened up the wall to get to the nest) Finally I canceled my appointment by text and still haven't received acknowledgment of it two days later. People seem pleased with his services and I'm sure he's doing a good job considering he's booked like that, so only read this review for the scheduling part. But it's so important to get a hold of someone quickly when you're dealing with yellowjackets flying around your house and inside your garage. For what it's worth the quoted price to take care of a yellowjacket nest with sprays was in line with other businesses I talked to. But I was told he couldn't attack the nest directly because it was inside a wall. That seems limiting.

Best company - by far- in the Bay Area. AND they a the licensed too! Verrrrry important!! Many companies on Yelp are not licensed companies. AJ and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was done 100% right. They were incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and took the time to explain everything along the way. AJ especially stands out. He is a very reasonable guy, and transparent with what needed to be done, which sadly seemed like a rarity these days in the business world. I can tell he genuinely cares about doing the job properly and treating his customers fairly. At no point did I feel pressured or upsold (like I did with the several other companies I met with) just honest advice and quality work. He even offered to come over after the job was done to do a final walkthrough and address any concerns (if any) with my dad. The whole team was professional, hardworking, and they clearly take pride in what they do.
