In 1976 we purchased a home in Cypress, Ca and as part of the inspection process it was necessary to perform some termite service. The realtors representing the sellers suggested using Darryl Schultz the owner of Sierra Termite, a relatively new company they had been using that was based in Walnut. They also suggested setting up a contract with this company for annual treatments. Being satisfied with their service, when we purchased a rental property in 1978, we established an annual contract on that property as well. Sierra. And when we moved to Seal Beach, we used Sierra Termite once again. Sierra Termite has been servicing our residential properties for - 44 years. Over the years I have personally recommended this company to many neighbors, friends, and family members. This May 2020, I decided it was time to have some major reconstructive work on our patio or to replace it with a vinyl or an aluminum product. After checking out what was available on the market and the costs, I decided I really preferred the wood and have Sierra Termite, now located in Los Alamitos perform the job. Zack and Jake did an excellent job of replacing about 30 percent of the original structure which included lumber of various sizes, 6" x 8", 6" x 6", 2" x 6", 2" x 4 and 2" x 3". They painted the entire structure and did some stucco finishing on a wall. Zack and Jake worked neatly, did a thorough cleanup at the end of the day, and are conscientious about their work. Reputations are hard-earned and easily lost, so when a company exists for over 40 years in a heavily regulated industry, they must be doing something right. For these reasons, if you need termite service, reconstruction necessary resulting from dry rot or termite damage, inspections, and work related to escrow, I heartily recommend and rate Sierra Termite with 5 stars. read more

In Feb. 2023, Sierra did a spot treatment of some attic termites and some in an upstairs office, as well as significant repairs and painting to some very high dry-rotted exterior fascia boards and one structural beam holding up an outdoor roof. Their work was superb! Darryl did the inspection and estimating. He was very thorough, explained everything that needed to be done, and the price was quite reasonable for the amount of work. Armando did most of the work all by himself over several days. He was charming, very skillful, and through in all that he did -- even to trimming for us a little bit of a tree that blocked his work, and hauling away the branches. I can unhesitatingly recommend Sierra for value, quality of work, and customer satisfaction. read more

Worked with these guys for termite and definitely they know termite. Was able to take care of the issue and fix termite damage. Definitely 5 star rating. read more

I would like to have given them 5 stars, however the guys doing the inspection forgot to bring boot covers for there wet dirty boots. Putting a ladders on our carpet that was also wet and dirty. The challenge in this type of industry is they forget that this is someone's home. It's a project for them. Get in get it done and move on. Living in an HOA this makes it difficult. Always make sure your ready to keep them accountable when they step on the premises. Its important for all service industries to leave the place better than you found it. I had to wash off my deck because they drilled but left the shaving all over my deck. A wet deck will make this material sticky Anyhow, I'm sure they did the work correctly, but be sure your ready to clean up after them, just my two cents. read more

Highly recommend! We recently had wood repairs that were required by HOA, and Darryl is so patient with us to go through all the requirements and his teams completed the project professionally and on time. They also cleaned up the townhome. Everything looks really good. Will definitely recommend to our neighbors and hire them again. Thank you so much! read more

Super friendly and informative over the phone. The gentleman was came on time if not early. Very personable and efficient. Well dressed and polite. Would definitely recommend. read more

I was impressed the first time I used this company, but as time went on the level of service was not thorough. Then they terminated my service because I did not call back in time. I had been ill, so it took me a while to call back to schedule a visit. When I did call back they told me that my contract was cancelled but they would consider opening it again. I then got a new call telling me that I would have to pay for an inspection ( that I had paid for already the previous year!). It was not only the cancellation, but the audacity to tell me that their manager " had agreed to take me back but I would have to pay first before the inspection." It made me so mad, I told them not to bother. I subsequently found another company to inspect my house. Beware of poor follow through once Sierra Termite Control has your money. read more

I called Sierra Termite after I saw them doing work on a condo complex near where I work. The guys were all in white uniforms, seemed to be working efficiently, etc. They came to my house & gave me a bid. I thought about it for the day, and called them back to schedule work. The estimator seemed to know what he was talking about and he even pointed out some issues with work I had previously had done, but was poorly done. Anyway, I wanted the facia & some rafters in front of my house replaced for curb appeal. The house is 50 yrs old...prob original wood. Well, I mentioned to the guy who gave me the bid that I just had the drip edge (flashing) replaced a couple of months ago, so I didn't want it damaged. He assured me that if they did, they would replace it. So I approved the estimate. They came at 8am, and called me at work at 12:30pm or so to say they were done and they needed a check. I said I wanted to see the job before I paid. So the next morning I inspected the work. I was NOT happy about what they had done. Although some of the facia was nicely replaced, there was one area where they removed an existing piece and did not replace correctly. It was not square with the other facia. Not to mention they also damaged that piece in the process...and now it had chunks missing from it. Additionally, most of the 50ft of flashing was NOT nailed back down, and nails were sticking up all over the place. And finally, the one thing that completely made me blow my top was the fact that they NAILED 2 nails RIGHT INTO my shingles to hold the flashing in one area of this tricky corner spot above the porch. Oh...and the primer? They ended up slopping it up under the flashing and sticking some of the flashing to the facia. Now...the GOOD part of this whole experience...if I can even call it that...was that I filed a complaint in writing on their website, and they called me immediately after the Christmas holiday to come out and fix things to my satisfaction. And they did do that. They sent 2-3 guys out, and I pointed out everything that was an issue. They replaced the flashing, fixed the damaged piece that was not even installed correctly, and patched the shingles that were nailed to the roof. So in that respect, I gave them 3 stars, instead of 2....because they did come out to take care of it asap. I paid them immediately upon noting the satisfactory repairs. read more

Need termite inspection? It is a great termite company to work with. Always on time and did an excellent job. read more

I would recommend this company to all my friends and family members. I just had some minor wood repairs and treatments completed on my home in Anaheim in December. With the Holiday I didn't have extra cash. I was very worried about the pricing. The quote was reasonable. The office staff was super friendly. The termite inspection was FREE. The termite inspector Darryl explained everything that had to be completed so well. The technicians Garrett and Zach were very professional! Great work performed. I was not aware Sierra Termite also works with Pest. Last week I heard some noises coming from my attic. I called Sierra Termite the next morning and on that same day Robbie came out to set up traps to catch whatever was in my attic. One day later that noise turned out to be a opossum. Yes I said it a opossum! So creepy! Just glad Sierra Termite worked so fast to take care of me. Like I said I recommend this company to anyone! Kudos to the whole staff! read more

After 20 years in my house I noticed a bug problem and suspected a rodent problem. I never hired an exterminator before or had any experience with infestations. I called Sierra because of the Yelp Reviews. Yelp has never done me wrong before. Robbie came out and saw the evidence of the rodents right away and pointed out where they were coming from and getting in. He also knew exactly what type of bug problem I had, German Cockroaches. He trapped, sealed off all entry points inside and out of my house and treated for the Cockroaches. Additionally, just when we thought he had caught all the rodents I suspected I still had a problem so I called and Robbie came back out and we found an additional entry point which he quickly closed off. The pricing was reasonable for all that he did and I received a real education in the process. I sleep much better now. read more

I really tried liking this place. But after a year of having to accommodate my schedule to have their one (yes, this business only has 1 technician) visit my home to spray for bugs, I told Rosie to close my account. The guy does not work weekends, holidays, or evenings. Also, he is very unprofessional and does very shoddy work. Hated it and do not recommend. read more

Our property manager company used Sierra Termite on the house we're renting. Normally moving out of the house for three days would be miserable, but it worked out great. We had a vacation out of town but it overlapped with a day Sierra Termite usually doesn't do work. They changed it for us so we left to go to our vacation, and came back to a termite free house! More importantly though, the inspector and the guys doing the repair work before and after the tenting were awesome. Very professional and friendly. They had to do a lot of work and were there for several days and were great. read more

Where's the 6th or 7th Star? Far too long a story to tell here, but all I can say is they stuck with me for months until I had legal and insurance (sort of) worked out. More important, the entire crew was terrific! From the office to all the crew who worked on my home. They were ALL respectful, courteous and neat. Never left the job site a mess. Never were loud or 'foul mouthed' like some construction crews can be. It was a very professional experience and I've been around construction all my life. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Darryl and Sierra Termite. read more

I don't usually do a follow up, but I have so many friends complaining about how the hot & humid, El Nino weather is bringing in more pest and termite into their homes. I can't help but brag to my friends about my termite-free home thanks to Sierra Termite Control! Sierra Termite Control came to my home about 5 months ago and whatever Darryl has done to my home, is still termite and pest free! Thanks Darryl and Sierra Termite Control~ read more

Well what a horrible experience. Today we had a "technician" arrive about 8:40am named Robbie. He started off the visit by yelling from the front gate repeatedly instead of knocking on the door. We heard his yells and opened our front door. I asked him why he didn't knock, he quickly said well you heard me, and i don't know if you have a dog running around. ( no dog running around in the front). His tone from the gate was disrespectful. Absolutely no regard for my neighbors when he yelled instead of knocked. .. But it gets worse, he mumbled something under his breathe as he walked in my house. My 12 yr old was standing by the door watched the whole exchange. Within a minute i asked him to leave. I escorted him off my property. I told him why did he come with such a bad attitude. Then he starts berating me, calling me names. (By the way, its all on my ring camera, cell phone and surveillance cameras!) I told him he was being recorded. He said he didn't care. He spent 5 mins calling me names in front of my daughters as he walked towards his truck. Stood in the middle of the street and still yelled some more. All while my neighbors watched. This company shouldn't hire anyone that treats clients this way. He was absolutely unprofessional from the beginning and continued his poor behavior throughout the visit. DISGUSTING. I left a message for the owner and am still in disbelief. But luckily i have it all on audio recording!!. Im a supporter of small businesses but not when people treat others this way. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY IF THEY EMPLOY PEOPLE LIKE THIS. ALL BAD. :-( read more

I was pretty disappointed with this agency. My HOA sent them a request for an inspection and that happened really quickly so I started off really happy. I know the HOA approved the request before the weekend but I gave them the benefit of the doubt when I didn't get a call to schedule the actual service on Friday. But then no call Monday. No call Tuesday. I had to call them on Wednesday. Then I was told "I was on the board for tomorrow at 10am". Excuse me? How am I on your board and no one has called me. They said "oh we were going to call you today". That does not fly. I take the appointment to get it over with and she says the guy, Armando I think, will be there at 10am. So it's it's 10:40 on Thursday and no Armando. I have to call them again! and he's buzzes when I'm on the phone. Unacceptable. He comes in and ASKS ME do I know what is supposed to happen. He says he has to call his boss because he doesn't understand the work order. Well that's just great. Then on the way out he asks for my building's entrance code. I say he can just use the box and I'll buzz him like before. He gets an attitude, makes a face, and tells me word for word "that's not fair". I should not have had to but went on to say it's a security feature and why should you need it if I can buzz you in. His facial expression and tone of voice was ridiculous. To be honest, I had this visualization of punching him in the face. He did the first part (which only lasted about an hour and 15 min) then had to take a lunch break? and pick up the supplies (wood I think) - and that took an hour and 45 minutes. Seriously - he had a work order. How did he not have the correct things he needed for the service. So after not being contacted, their provider arriving 45 minutes late, his having an attitude, and what seemed to be clueless and unprepared worker leaves me thoroughly unhappy with this service provider. *Updated from 2 stars to 3 ... Really appreciated the owner getting back to me with just a regular old honest apology. Sometimes I wonder why others can't just do that. He didn't try to justify anything or place blame my way (which unfortunately and sadly a lot of owners do)...thank you, I really, really appreciated that! read more

Tried these guys after a friend's recommendation, and have used three times since -- very happy with the service each time, and have no plans to call anyone else in the future. Two visits turned out to be spot treatments for termites, very reasonably priced -- I had been bracing for much more extensive and expensive diagnoses. The third time, I was seeking an estimate for rodent extermination and exclusion; the exclusion turned out to be a bigger job than my budget allowed, so I tackled that myself over time. But the tech noticed we were adding onto the house, and suggested a DIY treatment I could add to the wood framing, to prevent future termite encroachment (helping me, but denying themselves future business?). So, in my view, three times they were not only prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and thorough, but saved me money down the road. Too often on service calls -- no matter what it is -- we might feel unhappy afterward, unsure if we got taken, or if the job was done right, or if another problem comes up we should trust Company X to bring back. Never with Sierra -- every encounter has been a pleasure. read more

I have used this company for 15 years and they always have done an outstanding job. They advise me when it is time for my annual inspection. Very professional and honest. Robbie has always been the one coming to my house for the inspection and any treatment that might be needed. He is a gentleman and is very knowledgeable. Rosie who works in the office is also very friendly and does a great job of scheduling and handles any problems that might come up. The pricing is competitive and I will keep using them for years to come. They have done an outstanding job of finding termites and getting rid of them immediately. read more

Wow! another bad experience with this company. Guy show up and tell my wife " MOVE..GET A AWAY!. Then enters our home and puts his ladder down on my rug without some form of cover. When my wife asked him to go around the back the best answer he could provide was NO!. she was so concerned about his attitude that she called me on the cell, that's when the tech said "Forget it...Im leaving" and walks off the job. I've spent 40 years in the customer service business with some of the largest retailers in the industry. I've trained store associates how to work with the consumer and have helped increase instore sales. This person needs to get proper training. When I arrived home, I went looking for him. When he saw me coming he got testy with me and blamed my wife, REALLY, you blame the customer. He tried to get in my face and then told me if I don't like it to call the company. I really feel for the company that they didn't vet there staff better. This individual has no business interacting with clients. I live in a 80 unit Townhouse and you can be sure this issue will be discussed. read more

After discovering evidence of termites in my home, I used Yelp to find Sierra Termite Control. I was happy to see first-hand that Sierra had earned its positive reviews! They were very quick to respond to my inquiry, and I found that both Rosie and Corinna were extremely helpful in setting up the appointments. Darryl came out and performed a thorough inspection, and he was very professional in demeanor and thorough in his explanation of what he found. I needed some actual repairs to my home as a result of some of the damage, so when it was time for both the treatment and the repairs, Mauricio came out and had everything taken care of in just 3 hours. He was also willing to explain what he was doing, and he was thoroughly professional. I highly recommend this company! read more

Where to start??? First I think it's really important to think about reviews prior to just writing them so I sat on this one for a couple weeks!!! I know that most people ONLY write reviews when "they" have a bad experience and sometimes that can effect a persons business , so when I got a Yelp account it was to make sure the companies/restaurants and stores who went out of their way to help my family and me get the praise they so deserve. Life is to short to bast in all the negativity.. My experience with Sierra Termite was not only a great one it helped my family and I out tremendously. After recently moving to the Temecula area when I got married and bought a new house. I decided to rent my condo out in Garden Grove. I received a frantic phone call from my tenant that she saw droppings in her window sill that she thought were rodent droppings .... I was a little taken back and decided right away to Google companies that do free inspections, in the surrounding areas. (As I'm a penny pincher) . I called several companies and most charged although they advertised "Free Inspections". Finally I found Sierra Termite and spoke to a very bubbly sweet young lady whom I apologize forgot her name, she scheduled the appt. that worked around my tenants schedule within two days. Once the inspection was done the Inspector who came out Darryl, called me and let us know it wasn't rodent droppings but termites!!!. Boy ol boy we had the house loaded with termites and I didn't know this entire time until they made their "Grand Appearance" ... My tenants didn't take it so well and threatened to move out and wanted to break their lease ....Of course I was very worried .. However to my surprise Darryl / and his office staff spoke to the tenants after coming out and explained the procedure to them very thoroughly and promised as little intrusion as possible... Being the penny pincher I am , I even pressed for a little discount as I was going to have to pay for my tenants hotel stay during the procedure , and once again to my surprise they helped me out . .. They scheduled for the condo to be fumigated over the MLK Holiday saving me the cost of having to reimburse my tenant for time missed at work and had her back in the house on that Tuesday Afternoon after the Holiday . All of this was inspected, scheduled and fumigated in little over a week!! I recently after calling into the office a couple weeks ago to pay my final bill found out this Company was a small family owned business and that's when I decided I had to take the time out of my busy schedule to support this business by giving them the KUDOS they deserve. I'm grateful for the work they did by going above and beyond and cared enough to help keep my tenants happy, Thank You Sierra Termite! read more

Sierra termite control is one of the best company's that has ever done work for us. We had 3 estimates and the other two company's were hesitant any only wanted to do patch work on the dryrot and gutter repair The two man crew came out,were very professional and Replaced the wood on the 2 story eves and made it look brand new. read more

Sierra Termite, what can I say, I do not have enough praise for Sierra. I have used the services of Sierra for over 20 years. Darryl and his staff have always done a stellar job for us. Their attention to quality is superb and on that very rare occasion if there may be a problem it is quickly resolved. I say that the one major contributor to the success of my company is the excellent performance of Sierra Termite Control in supporting our needs. Without hesitation I recommend them and for you not considering them would be very foolish. Thank you to you Darryl and your excellent staff. Sincerely Yours, A Property Management Company read more

Ugly little termites has been invading my home for quite a while. I noticed wood shavings that turned out to be termite droppings a few months back. A friend of mine referred me to Sierra Termite Control. I first called and Rosie was the lovely lady who answered my call, she was extremely courteous, informative, and helpful. I told her I was low on money so she offered to send an inspector for a free estimate. The following day, Darryl showed up to my home and gave me an inexpensive estimate. I went ahead with the repairs and treatments. The quality in the repairs and treatments were phenomenal. I highly recommend Sierra Termite Control. Not only is the customer service outstanding but they go above and beyond to make are the ugly little termites are long gone. read more

Termites and other issues is something that I am not familiar with so I contacted Sierra Termite to have my parents house inspected since I noticed there was some wood damage. I saw that they have free estimates and had them come out to inspect it. Their service was prompt as I left a message and they responded within 12 hours of my call. I had them replace a section of wood trim above the garage that was rotting and it looked amazing. fast response and quick turn around times. Highly recommended. read more

Easy to book an appointment and they were very accommodating. The inspector is very knowledgeable as he's also a general contractor. A quote of the project was quickly emailed to us within a day. read more

My neighbor saw the Sierra truck in front of my house at my August 21st annual inspection and shared the positive Yelp reviews. I have been a customer for about 10 years when their office was in Anaheim but didn't know Sierra was on Yelp. Customer service has always been great as I have had a control policy since the initial tenting. The annual inspections occur like clockwork and the spot treatment has kept the termites away. I've had two spot treatments and am diligent about reporting termite droppings. In one instance, I saw some droppings and called Sierra; they came out within a day but the droppings were from silverfish. I always follow up on recommendations such as replacing wood or using rain diverters to prevent wood rot; especially, in light of the expected El Nino event this winter. Thank you Sierra Termite for the no nonsense termite control service! read more
