Our house is over 50 years old and the attic insulation was dilapidated. I searched Yelp for insulations and requested a few quotes. David from Attic city showed up and explained the work, the guarantees, the material he will be using and the pricing. I decided to go with him since he came through as professional, on time and after endless text/messaging with others trying to get the appointments and estimate online. The crew showed up on time, with all the prepping and protective gears. They took some pictures before and after. I was extremely pleased with the work. I even asked David to do a few other small tasks and he didn't even charge me extra. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. read more

I needed to replace insulation for a old condo. I was recommended to go with AttiCity from a friend whom recently received service from AttiCity. David is very professional. He explained in detail with video showing the prepping and the work. He provided competitive pricing. The crew showed up with all the gears and get right to it. I was very pleased with the work. I would highly recommend AttiCity. read more

The workers for AttiCity are not employees of the company but subcontract workers. David hires them for each job. Their schedule could vary since they apparently are working for other companies in addition to AttiCity. The workers' large truck to transport equipment and insulation is older and not professional looking but is functional. My requirement was to remove blown insulation from the attic and old batt insulation from under the floor by entering a tight crawlspace access. Rodent droppings were in both locations. A termite inspection occurred after I was informed by David the insulation in the crawlspace was removed. The termite inspector informed me that old batt insulation was still in place in a corner of the house that was challenging to access due to A/C ducting impeding access. If the termite inspection was not performed I may have never known the old batt insulation was not removed and new insulation was installed. The remaining old insulation was removed and new insulation installed. David was not on the job site when the work was completed. He did visit when it was time for payment. The rat droppings from the attic and crawlspace were cleaned up and supposedly all access by rats was addressed to alleviate a future problem. However, rats did access the house again and droppings were in the attic. I made 3 requests to David to have his crew return to vacuum the rat droppings in the attic and he told me this would occur but never did. The crew are independent workers and thus not captive to AttiCity. I assumed the time and expense of returning was their responsibility and not AttiCity and is why they never showed up. And David's follow up was below professional expectations. Unfortunately, I would not recommend AttiCity based on my experience. read more

Updated review: the owner David came and apologize. I think they do very care their customer service. He went into the attic and take care of everything, making sure and took many photos to assure me everything is good now. I do appreciate this. I hired them after reading yelp reviews and I really do not like the experience at all. Be alert yelpers! They broke my attic ceilings and hired a handy man just do some cosmetic job and no bother go to the attic to check whether they broke my attic drywall or not. read more

AttiCity - They broke my Ceiling - Insulation Installation Near Me - Oakland, California

AttiCity did great Job. Very competitive pricing. Crew members were professional and knew their job very well. I had to remove all insulation and cover up holes for pest control. David gave me detail overview of work to be carried out by showing videos and provided me detail quote with highly competitive price. I mistakenly arranged job to be done on Mothers day Sunday and when they arrived our neighbor raised concern with them. AttiCity discussed with me and agreed to come back during the weekday without carrying any work on Sunday. Great job done and I am very happy with AttiCity for their professionalism, understanding and attention to detail in their work. I highly recommend them. read more

David and his team were amazing! I just had a fire at my house, he came out to give me an estimate right away, his price was fair, he was kind and assured me he would take care of everything. I got a few more bids, and decided to go with David. He was not the lowest price, but he was the nicest, most competent, and he gave me a discount. I'm so happy I went with him! He finished my job today, he was on time, came with a crew, and got it done! My house already smells better! I highly recommend David and his team! He took out yucky old blown in insulation, sterilized the entire attic and Installed new role in insulation. read more

Our overall experience with AttiCity is good. After a slight hiccup, the job was completed. AttiCity pricing is highly competitive and the crew that does the job is quick and professional. read more

This year, I removed all the deck from the backyard and found couple of holes to crawl space that needed fixing. I called David and he promptly honored the warranty by sending one of his team member to fix it. Alas, the rats are too smart that between the time I removed the deck and Atticity sealing the holes, there were rats under the crawl space. After the sealing, couple of rats under the crawl space could not find a way to get out, and they were dead in a matter of days. Once again, the dead odor was everywhere in the house. I called David again, and realizing how bad the odor could be, he sent a person to check and clean the crawl space. They found couple of dead rats, and removed them, checked the entire ducts/insulation and sanitized the place. David refused to accept any payment for the work, stating that we are covered warranty. read more

David from AttiCity is very reasonable in price. I have used AttiCity for replacing existing insulation. Separately for installing radiation barrier. For both jobs, guys were thorough, clean. For radiation barrier they had to come back the next day as they ran out of material. Only complaint is the old insulation could not be picked up on the same day; was sitting in my front yard for few days. They did communicate that with me. Otherwise did a good job on both occasions for a reasonable price. For attic insulation and rodent proofing, Atticity gives 3-year warranty. Everyone else were quoting a lot higher with no justification. No reason to believe quality of work is compromised in anyway. read more

This review is based on AttiCity customer service. They did an awesome job in the beginning. They cleaned my attic and they gave me a 5 year warranty. Unfortunately, they were not able to rodent proof my house. They came out 3 or 4 times to try and fix the problem, but were unsuccessful. I called him and sent new pictures of rats I am still catching and he does not return my calls. The new insulation he installed is now smelling terrible and needs to be replaced again. He gave me a 5 year warranty but does not honor it. It is not worth the paper it is written on. I had to pay a general contractor to inspect my attic. He found obvious holes that were easy to fix. The worst part was that they fount a vent hose not connected to the vent allowing rats to enter. The worst part is after paying $2800 my attic smells bad. read more

I needed to get rid of a rat in my attic and chose them to do extermination and cleaning. David was fast to come and do the initial assessment and scheduling. His team came on time and started the work right away. They were careful to put proper protection on their work area, but still there was minor damage to the walls and ceiling. His team did repair most of it. But there was a room with different paint color that I will have to buy and repair myself later. They never found the rat, but they sealed all the gaps. In hindsight, it would be nice to see pictures of the sealed areas, which I didn't see but overall, I am happy with their work and would hire them again. read more

I had David from AttiCity replaced my 40+ years old attic installation, price is reasonable. His crew came in on time, covered the hallways and cleaned up after. I'd definitely would recommend them. Thank you David..!!! A++ read more

Positives : These guys showed up on time, did what they said they would do - ,worked very hard, and all at a fair price. They are also were surprisingly clean and neat, and taped everything off to protect furniture and flooring - or in addition to what I did. For my project - I had them remove all the old insulation in attic and then replace w/ R38 insulation batts. They also installed R19 insulation w/ a vapor barrier in the crawl space at my house in Pacifica. Not an easy or trivial job - but they got it done. Working w/ estimates and/or quotes w/ David (foreman/owner) is easy via text or phone, and he came out to inspect the final work himself, after I had already approved it. Nice touch. Negatives : Their work truck had a bunch of crazy looking graffiti sprayed all over it .. but hey, it's an insulation truck - who cares ? Not me. Overall, would use again and recommend - glad I found them via Yelp, and they deserve a 5 star review for me. read more

David was punctual and honest with my attic inspection. He was also very quick to respond to my initial request - within the hour and setup an inspection for the next day or so. Would call for services again and recommend. read more

Had an appointment setup for today (gave me a one hour window), no call no show. Tried calling them, no answer. If you are not going to respect your customers time, get ready to lose some business! read more

had the pleasure of meeting David in person when I was interviewing contractors for my remodel of a 1100 sq ft old residential 1920es Spanish duplex side. There was a lot of work needed to be done and I could not have made a better choice than by selecting Attic city - also one of the few companies that work with energy efficient loans programs which was a huge help for my project. David and his crew were professional, communicative and were there to help me with any problem that I had in the way. I have interviewed close to 20 contractors and from his estimate was the most thorough: broken down to hours per project and cost of labor and materials. I highly reccomend attic city and God Bless. read more

Okay, buckle up, fellow Yelpers. This will take a while. And to be clear, I hate to be the guy that leaves a One Star review (and one this verbose) but read along and you will understand why. My experience started off like many of the 5 star reviews on this page. I received a personal recommendation/referral with reports that the guys at Attic City were amazing. I called David after hours on a Friday night. He happily answered and set up an appointment at my home the next afternoon (Saturday). He was professional, concise, and offered a very fair quote. I was beyond excited to rid my attic of rodents and the 50 year old "blow-in" insulation. Four days later, a crew of two showed up to start my job. I came home for lunch and, to my amazement, an insulation bomb had been detonated in my freshly landscaped front yard (see photo). The vacuum bag was overfilled and exploded. EVERYWHERE. It was even on my roof and gutters. The hosing on the vacuum was old and had duct tape over the holes. It became very clear, very quickly that I was no longer dealing with professionals. At the end of day one, they were way behind schedule to finish in two days so I requested that David provide the crew with a third worker. He did oblige and the job was finished the next afternoon or so I thought. In addition to the exploded vacuum bag fiasco the day before, I found several damages to my internal ceiling (see photos). What's more, the guys even left a trash bag tied to the curtain rod they bent and left a giant bag of trash in the attic (again, see photos). Upon my review, I called David to complain. Throughout the process, David was kind and seemingly apologetic. However, no amount of lip service can undo the ineptness of a this work crew. He offered to provide me with a "handyman" to fix the damages but I firmly declined. I could not in good conscience ask these guys to "fix" anything else. An additional disappointment was my call to the "Manager". I explained to him all the deficits in the job performed. He said he knew nothing about the job at my house. He said he would call me back after gathering more information. I'll let you guess as to whether I ever got a call back... The kicker in all of this? One month later, I STILL HAVE RATS IN MY ATTIC! I took it upon myself to inspect the roof line. The included photo shows were these guys relied on spray foam (instead of wire mesh) and the rats easily chewed through their way back into my freshly insulation-exchanged attic. To say I'm frustrated with their work would be a gross understatement. If you've read this far, I suppose you have to ask yourself: "How in the World did they do such a bad job for this guy and such a great job for everyone else? They have 5 Stars?!" You and I are in the same confused boat, my friends. In my assessment, there are a few reasons these guys are up to 40% cheaper than the competition: 1) They use old equipment 2) Their work crews are unskilled or, at least, careless 3) There is no evidence of internal quality control measures 4) Their "management" is either uninformed or irresponsible Please proceed with caution if you use Attic City for your rodent or insulation exchange needs. read more

I'm a handyman in my own right and have accumulated trusted resources from friends, family and my own experience. However, when some of the old insulation in our 1947 home needed updating, I found AttiCity online. I was impressed when David returned my call within the hour. Again, impressed when he came to inspect and gave me an estimate later on that same day. I had checked around and found David's estimate competitive and reasonable. David and his crew came the following day, on time and in gear. The work was done efficiently and to my the satisfaction. I've added David and his crew to my list of resources. I recommend him without reservation. read more

AttiCity did a great job of removing our insulation from the attic, in addition to removing and sanitizing the attic of rodent waste. They then sealed a few holes to keep the pests out and reinsulated the attic while keeping the house clean by properly sealing and controlling work area. read more

Frederico and his crew cleaned the attic and installed r38 insulation. They were attentive to my needs/wants and worked efficiently to provide a nice final product. They did the job in 2 days and cleaned up after both days. I would recommend this company to any one wanting to clean/install insulation in their home. There was a leak in the vacuum equipment and the crew immediately shut it down and repaired it to eliminate any debris in my yard. read more

Terrible customer service. They have been back to our home after the initial, paid visit to resolve the roof rat issue. Initially, they cleaned up the mess from the rodents and removed all of the soiled insulation. I thought the issue was resolved. About a few months after, I begin to hear noises in the attic again. I called them (David) back out to resolve the issue. When David sent someone out to fix the issue, the did not have the most important tool/equipment to fix the problem that had returned. A LADDER!!! Roof RATS! At this point I am completely dissatisfied and regretted and continue to regret the decision I made with hiring these people. The fix: Wire mesh (1/4" squares), hacked into my roof where they "thought" the rats were getting in. After the 1st repair visit, they noises came back. I AM NOT HAPPY! I called David again. He was very rude and sounded as if he were getting impatient with me for calling him for the shoddy work that he/his guys had done. I scheduled for him to come out again to fix the issue. He shows up again with no ladder and in a 4 door sedan. Apparently not ready to really investigate for himself where the issue/issues could be. He was at my home for the 2nd visit and told me he would call me to set ANOTHER appointment for when he would send his employees back to hack, I mean "fix" the issue. I have spoken to him twice and he has neglected to call me back to get someone out here. I have not heard from him since. USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE ROOF RATS, BE IGNORED, AND BE OUT OF $3,000. My next step is small claims court... :-) and a report to BBB!!!! read more

They did a great job on the insulation taking out the old and rodent proof. Good price and a 5-year warranty. I would recommend them the crew that came to my house are very hard workers. read more

I change my review bcs after David help me change my insulation, I see how they're very efficiency , always ontime and professional .

UPDATED REVIEW: After writing the original review below, we got a call from David within an hour. He apologized for any mixup and said he and his crew were doing a job close by and will stop by in the afternoon to check. True to his word, he and one of his guys showed up, here are the results: - patched/fixed a hole with mesh/foam (was likely missed the first time) - inspected the traps (found no dead rats) - reset the traps with fresh bait - cleaned the few droppings that were there - inspected the eaves on the roof for any signs of openings - installed additional mesh/foam around eaves He said to call him again if the rats come back, and he'll be out again. While it took me writing a two-star review to get results, I'm glad that he followed up. It was the right thing to do! Thanks, David. Original Review: We decided to use this company because it had pretty decent reviews and David seemed like a good guy. He was personable and easy to talk with during our initial discussions. The actual workmanship was good, but the end result was not to our expectations. Within a few weeks after the job we could hear rodents in our attic (our cats alerted us), so we called David and he sent a guy out and he found fresh droppings in the attic. He laid traps, and patched up a few holes and said he would return to check on them in a couple of weeks. We didn't hear back after a few weeks so I called David and he told me: "Trust me, I've been doing this a long time, give it some more time." Okay, a bit condescending and agitated, but whatever. It's been months since and we still haven't gotten a return call from them to check on the traps - We have no idea if there are dead rats caught in the traps desiccating and/or rotting in our attic! We paid over $3000, were promised a warranty, and just aren't happy with their follow-through. Their execution of service is not commensurate with the amount of money we paid. A simple: "I'm sorry, we'll send someone out to check your traps"; then actually have someone come would be our expectations for a 3K bill and part of a promised warranty. The takeaway: get full clarity on what service you'll be receiving before you sign a contract and fork over your cash. read more

Excellent price. Very competitive. The owner is easy to work with. We had some rat/squirrel issues and needed them to sanitize the storage area above the garage and remove all the boxes. They were happy to help bring down all the boxes. They screened in all the openings so nothing could get back in. They also replaced the blown in attic insulation. We had one minor issue where one of the vents in the furnace closet was covered partially with the insulation. It's on 7 months now and I called him up and they were here within a week and promptly addressed the situation. I recommended these guys to my next door neighbor and after she got some other estimates Attic City was still the most competitive and offered the best solution to her problems. Update: 12/24/2017. My neighbors were happy with the job they performed but their post job support has been non existent. They called several times to have them come out and change/check the traps they set in the attic but they have not received any support. No callbacks. Nothing. Now, I feel responsible for recommending this company. Update: 12/26/2017 My neighbors informed me that AtticCity stopped by and reset the traps and stated they would come back in two weeks to check but they have not yet contacted them to make an appointment. They mentioned it has been approximately two weeks. I'll continue the review after my next update which should be on 1/1 read more

This Company is a joke. I paid 2800.00 to clean and rodent proof my attic last December 2017. It is now June 2018 not even six months later after severalnphone conversations and sending out"his guys" David the owner has not shown up once to fix the problem of rats in my attic. I was promised a written guarantee and never received one. I called all the time to get them to come out , they may have come out but to no avail at all has my rat problem been resolved. I am so disappointed. Needless to say I feel to taken advantage of. I am sick to my stomach at either David's rudeness by not returning my calls or just plain rude by not showing up when he promised his Guys would. I am willing to show you or explain to you how horribly disgusted I am with Atticity. Wyminlover@gmail.com my name is Karen. read more

AttiCity did an excellent job fixing up our crawlspace! We just bought a new home and wanted to clean up our crawlspace, replace the insulation and install a vapo barrier. David was prompt in doing an initial evaluation and then completing the job within the week. Their pricing is fair and they include a 3 year warranty. Now we could rest assured our crawlspace won't give us any issues. The guys were very professional and came back no charge when we discovered an extra space. I would definitely recommend AttiCity to all our friends and family! read more

David and his team cleaned up my rat infested attic, installed new insulation and did rodent proof. After a few days, we still hear noise on attic so they came back, patched two holes on eaves and set up a few traps in attic. One week has passed and we haven't heard noises again. David provides five year warranty to his work and I hope our rat problem is gone forever. Overall, I am satisfied with his work. read more

I've had a lot of problems with my attic lately & someone in my family referred me to this company. I met David & Daniel who were really nice & gave me a good quote. My attic has been needing repairs since I've moved into my grandmas house in San Jose. The last owners & landlord wouldn't take care of the rotted installation that was in the walls. So AttiCity sent these two men to come fix it! They not only cleaned the installation and put new ones in but they took care of my rodent problem! I didn't know about the rodent problem till they told me. Since then I've been keeping a eye out. One day my grandma thought she heard stuff crawling around so they came back out and took a look for me, sure enough they had to patch up 2 holes . Since then My grandma & I have had NO problems!!! GREATEST COMPANY . read more

When we found rat droppings in our garage we got a few quotes and went with the cheapest one. Couple months later we are still having recurrent issues. Atticity came right away took care of the problem and gave 3 year warranty. Still at a reasonable price and definitely worth paying a little more for. read more

David and crew came on time and finished the job as promised. Good service and efficient. Highly recommend.

Atticity kicks ass ! These guys not only answered the phone but David was there in 30 minutes looking at the attic space , I wanted 3 feet of blown in insulation removed so I could rewire the attic ! There was lots of nasty wood debris up there as well as old carpet padding and pieces of pipe etc. when they got done you could eat off the back side of the Sheetrock ceiling ! Price was fair but performance was AMAZING!!! If I could do 10 stars I would read more

I was very happy with the service, the crew were great and worked well together and I booked them to clean my crawl space after they finished the attic area. They were conscientious and courteous, prepped the access area well, and cleaned everything afterward. I highly recommend them. read more

David and his crew installed r38 insulation in my attic I got extremely competitive price. They work hard all day. Super professional and polite right now my house super warm in the winter so happy that I changed my insulation thank you David from atticity read more

We decided to use this company for a roof rat problem because they were the middle bid. They did a decent job removing the insulation and cleaning the attic area. I'm disabled and can't access the attic myself so they took pictures and showed them to me. We are still hearing noises in the attic so called them and they have made two appointments to come back however haven't shown up for either. I suspect that one of the ducts that was replaced wasn't hooked up correctly because there's no heat in thatRepeated emails with no response. I'd be leary of this company because it seems once they have their money, they're done I've been asked/told to update my review, so here goes. The owner, David, did come to my house unannounced after I posted my last review and he was not very happy with me. Inferred that I was responsible for the lack of communication because I don't answer my phone, be mindful he calls on a private number. No caller ID when he calls and he never leaves a message. I guess that's the customer's responsibility as far as he's concerned. AttiCity did discover the leaking vent I was complaining of in my 1st review, big hole in it. I can't say for sure when that damage was done because I'm disabled and can't access my attic area. He made a point of telling me he wasn't charging me for that duct, insinuating he was giving us something for free. Isn't that what a guarantee is all about? They nailed some mesh to a gutter that now will leak and will probably have to be replaced I've emailed him a few times since then telling him we're still hearing noises from the attic but no response from him I judge companies by the work that they do but mostly by their customer service and as far as I'm concerned, this company doesn't hold water. I'll be contacting the BBB and also the county to voice my experience with this company read more

Received 3 quotes from different attic cleaning services- What a difference in the quotes I received. I must say AttiCity delivered what they promised and the quote was significantly lower then their competitors. The only thing was that they broke my daughter's mirror in her bedroom during vacuuming -- other than that good job. read more

Follow-up 9/9/17 The pests have returned, so we called David and Atticity back. They honored their guarantee and promptly showed up the next day to address and fix our problems. So happy we went with Atticity :) read more

David the owner really stands behind his business and reputation. Very professional. We found rodent droppings in our shed. David and his crew came to take everything out from our shed, clean & disinfect the shed, and threw away stuffs that are too contaminated.

I would highly recommend David and his crew. read more
