Called ATC and had an informative discussion on how the nest would grow and how ATC could eliminate the problem. Ian from ATC came out and dusted, getting behind the siding. Ian informed me of a 60 day warranty for that job any other nests on the property. In about a week no more yellow jackets. About 6 weeks later, another nest was discovered behind the siding of the bay window. Called ATC and Matt came out the next day to dust. The warranty was extended for two more weeks. Because of the size and location there was still activity after two weeks. Ian returned, dusted and extended the warranty another two weeks at no extra cost! Technicians are very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. Great to have an excellent family owned buisness near our community!

Absolutely terrible. We have done a lot of real estate transactions, and this was by far the most…read moreridiculous home inspection we encountered. Some of you may feel that a strict inspector is important as a buyer's advocate (in a sense), and that is reasonable... but this inspector was incompetent, and caused real problems with the transaction. You do not want that in an inspector, you want someone who will FAIRLY and CORRECTLY identify real problems. So, first of all, he noted roofing problems, so we had a professional roofer come inspect (and give estimate). His quote was, "I have never seen a case like this; it's like he made up a problem. There are no repairs needed on your roof at all." We had to get the roofer to provide a signed statement disputing inspector's claim, and had to pay for that roofer's time. Second, he did an absolutely bizarre test of the home's fifth bathroom in the basement. He turned on the sink faucet at the same time as the shower and noted that when both were running, it was as if the sink faucet controlled the shower. Well, this was a ridiculous test, because there was no conceivable way that anyone would need or want to use the bathroom in that way. Again, this is the small, fifth bathroom in the house, not the master bath. Without running the sink simultaneously there was no issue with the shower (even if a sink upstairs was running). Not a real problem, just a way to shave a few bucks off the selling price for the buyers. Third, he claimed that the garage door safety mechanism was not working, since he could place a thin piece of cardboard (literally a few sheets of paper in height) under the door and it wasn't detected. How did I know that was his test? He left the cardboard as litter on the ground there. Well, he didn't recognize that the safety mechanism for the door would not recognize that, since it was an eye across the path of the door. This is the better safety mechanism anyway, since it accounts for kids running under a door. In other words, he cited us, but he himself did not recognize how the door worked. All in all, I found him to be highly unethical, to the point that I was considering reporting him to the attorney general''s office. I have been through lots of home inspections with competent and fair professionals. This guy was completely incompetent. EDITED (because I remembered more): The inspector claimed that gas lines to the fireplace were not consistent with code. Not true, they were replaced and inspected by the county. The inspector recommended that a self-closing door be added between the kitchen and garage. We have seen many, many homes... none ever had such doors, and no inspector would have recommended that, except one looking to help his buyer clients get over on a seller. EDITED (in response to business owner's reply to my google review): Business owner snidely "apologized for my disappointment in his commitment to industry standards." Nice try. I have information about those standards. On the bathroom issue, section 6.2 of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) Standards of Practice states that "inspectors are not required to measure water supply flow and pressure." It's fine if you do it, but your test and video evidence of it was non-sensical and misleading; you never showed that under normal conditions it behaves as expected. On the garage issue, the US Consumer Product Safety Commision issued rules in 1992 about garage door safety. They require that ONE of the following devices be enabled for safety: photoelectric eye (what we have), OR door edge sensor (what the inspector attempted to test), OR a constant contact door button. Again, those regulations only require ONE safety feature which we have. Of note, the inspector's test using cardboard wouldn't work for the door sensor test. The standard is to put down something substantial like a 2X4. So, he not only did the wrong test, he did the wrong test the wrong way. These regulations are published on the Commission's website: https://www.cpsc.gov/content/safety-commission-publishes-final-rules-for-automatic-garage-door-openers .

We highly recommend him.

Professionally incompetent, dishonest, and takes advantage…read more Fair price for a septic pumping. Background: I had sewage in my backyard above my septic tanks. It apparently wasn't getting pumped to the sand mount. I had Young's Septic come in. They diagnosed the issue as a broken pump. They drained the tank, charging me about $350 (fair price), and then gave me an estimate for $2100 for a new pump. I thanked their tech, Randy, and told him that I wanted to get a couple of estimates first. He had a look in his eyes of surprise, and then told me that the tank will fill up very quickly, so I should plan to stay at a hotel. Seemed a little pushy, since I was going to immediately call others to check on the pricing for the new Here are the prices I found along with a description of the job: -0.5 HP Gold's brand pump / 120 volt -Single man job -Not "confined space" job, i.e. the person can reach into the tank and doesn't need to climb in, which requires 2 men, and a confined space meter to check for toxic gas. Dillsburg septic - $1400 - $1800 Young's - $2100 Stinky Finky (R E Fink & Sons) - $1090 Walter's - $1095 - $2000 I called Young's back and gave them an opportunity to match the price or at least get closer to it, and was told that the owner would call me back. He never did. Brandt at R E Fink wasn't only the lowest price, but told me he could make it out the next morning. Sold. After opening up our tank, Brandt's tech, Jack reported back to him, and Bran called me with good news. He said that the only problem with my pump is that the floater is broken. It was going to cost me less than $300! He also said that my pump was only 0.3 HP, and not 0.5 as Young's had stated. I told Brandt that I needed a new pump and we agreed on $1090, but he had the morality to report back that I didn't need a new pump, and accepted much less money in return for his honesty. Brandt is a stand-up guy, and R E Fink is a stand-up company. I'm not sure what happened with Young's. Maybe they made 3 coincidental mistakes, misdiagnosing the issue, mistakenly seeing the pump as 0.5 HP rather than 0.3 HP, and then charging a ridiculous price for a pump? Are they really a good company? You make your own decision based on these facts.

Also repairs to fix the downstairs bathroom and laundry room that was destroyed. (Insurance company will not cover) Here's the story We purchased this house in May '16. The septic system had to be updated and installed prior to closing. Rosenberry's was contracted to do the work. After completing the work they were called back for several issues such as old tanks opening up and needed refilled. Slow draining showed that they missed about 6 feet of old drain pipe that was to be fixed. They denied the mistake. Now sewage recently has been getting backed up along the foundation and coming into the finished basement. Destroying the finished laundry room and bathroom. This past Friday I had tanks pumped out and a camera ran from the tanks to the house. It was discovered that the new line is not connected to the old pipe that was also to be replaced. Insurance won't cover due to a condition that has been "ongoing" I had contacted a lawyer and he is willing to help but stated that if the cost to repair is about the same price as legal fees it's best to just pay repairs. However! I feel that Rosenberry's should be responsible for fixing this problem and now damages to the basement. Don't you agree? Rosenberry's now claims that they never installed my system.
