It makes me sad to write this review because I had no issues with Homeshield until a few months…read moreago. I have been a customer of Homeshield for years and have had various services - wood rot treatment, monthly pest and rodent service, rodent exclusion treatment. My parents also have Homeshield service their home because of my referral. I want to make it clear that the technicians who service my house continue to be great. My usual technician is Julio and he's always super friendly, on time, and does a great job. My issues in the last few months pertain only to the call center and billing. In April I was charged for my monthly service even though no technician came out to service my house. I called Homeshield to let them know and they indicated I would not be charged for June. When June came, I was still charged for June so I had to call back to ask once again for money back. The call center indicated that I called too late before they processed the payment so the charge would fall off my July billing. At the beginning of July I called Homeshield to schedule my monthly treatment because I was going to be out of town. I informed the call center that I was going to be out of town and that was the reason for me scheduling my monthly service. The call center was able to get my monthly pest service schedule before I left, the call center did not indicate that I had a separate rodent treatment schedule for July 24. I left the country and while on my trip I got a text that my house would be serviced on July 24. I was pretty confused because I thought I had my house serviced and I even told the call center I would be out of town. Due to the 9 hour time difference I had to tell my brother to call Homeshield to cancel the appointment. On July 22, my brother informed me that he canceled my appointment and notified Homeshield that I would call to reschedule. On July 24, I got a text from the technician that he was about 30 minutes from my house to perform the service. I had to respond via text that I had cancelled my appointment and apologize that the call center did not inform him that I had cancelled. I am not too sure what is causing the breakdown in communication but I honestly feel terrible for these technicians not being informed of things. It also doesn't sit right with me that I have to apologize to the technician not for anything I did, but for the breakdown in communication caused directly by the call center. I also am not sure what is happening with the scheduling since before the no show incident in April I had technicians service my house every single month without issue. Update: Bryana from Homeshield called me on August 5 to learn more about the breakdown in billing, communication, and scheduling. She was really friendly, professional, and apologetic. I felt like she was not calling simply for me to fix my review but actually listened and wanted to make sure that as a customer I felt that things were remedied. She thoroughly explained my services and what Homeshield was going to do to help make everything right. She also informed me that she was going to reach out to my dad to make sure his experience as a customer was great. Overall, I am really happy with how Homeshield handled remedying the situation to ensure that I continued to receive better services in regards to billing and scheduling.

Just found out today that I have been continuing to be charged for services that are not rendered…read more We're in the middle of a huge landscape upgrade and didn't need any service for past couple of months. I had mentioned to Darla to skip service because of this, and will resume when ready. But just noticed that I have been continued to be auto charged ($87 each time) good thing I looked as I was getting ripped off. Very surprised of this as I'd mentioned this for multiple months to get ahead of this situation and give HomeShield as much communication as possible. It is crappy feeling to have my money taken like that I called in and spoke with Luca and he was helpful in telling me that I'll get credited back for 2 months, and will have CC on hold so not charged. That made me feel good. He said I'd get confirmation email in a few minutes but it's been nearly 2 hours and no email and my CC still showing no credit/refund. They are happy to auto charge me, but cannot accommodate their current customers with the ability to pause service, causing additional headache for me I'll see if there is anything worth updating if/when it happens. otherwise will go straight to credit card company and dispute charges...I don't have time to keep going back to HomeShield to check if they did their work right Still considering if I will continue with HomeShield once I need service again; but I figure I'll have better choice when that time comes UPDATE: after reading other review of not being able to cancel service, I called right back and spoke with Patricia. I asked to cancel service, but she could not do so and had to transfer me to other department and ask me to hold for "2 minutes". After 2 minutes, she came back on saying no one could talk to me to cancel. Seriously?? I asked if I can get her my verbal authorization to relay my cancel message to someone. No can do, so I have to wait for someone to call me back so I can say "CANCEL" really frustrated now...

I hired The Pest Experts after using the Projects feature on Yelp for the first time. I wanted to…read moresupport a smaller company since there are so many out there. The initial setup fee was pricier than the bigger companies, but I did ask them if they could match or beat it. They didn't do either, but they did lower it a bit, which I appreciated. They did express concern that I would cancel my quarterly contract after the setup, which I didn't. Carlos is the technician who comes out to our place, and I am so thankful he is bilingual so he can communicate with my parents. He is always very helpful and explains everything he is doing, and what we can do in case other pests come up (since we initially reached out just for ants). We have now been with The Pest Experts for about a year, and I can't recommend them enough!

Will absolutely be using this company again for any pest related needs!!

I am giving Green Flash 2 stars based on a severely rushed recent inspection and the poor quality…read moreof their past repair work. Recently, I had them come out because I suspected termites in one of our rafter tails. To their credit, they correctly identified that specific spot as just fungus and didn't try to oversell me on treatments I didn't need. However, their inspection was incredibly brief. They spent only a few minutes scanning the house, didn't check the attic at all, and gave us the all-clear. A couple of days later, I had a second company come out for another look. They spent almost an hour doing a thorough inspection and found a severe termite infestation in a different rafter tail that was almost entirely hollowed out. They spotted the signs right through the paint. Green Flash completely missed this. On top of the missed inspection, the wood rot repairs Green Flash did for us 5 years ago (costing about $1,200) have both failed and need to be redone. They spliced a rafter tail that is now loose, and it turns out they miscut a replacement barge board on the back of the house. To cover up the bad cut, they glued a scrap piece of wood over it, which has since detached and is currently hanging off the board. Bottom line: They failed to do a thorough termite inspection, and their carpentry work doesn't hold up. I highly recommend getting a second opinion on their inspections and hiring a dedicated specialist for any actual wood repairs.

He always checks to see if we have any issues that need to be taken care of.

Here's a polished Yelp review you can post:…read more I recently discovered I had a rat problem in my backyard and reached out to several pest control companies for estimates. Unfortunately, a couple of them seemed much more interested in upselling me than solving the actual problem. Then I found Countywide Pest Pros, and working with Jeff was a completely different experience. He took the time to assess the situation, recommended an affordable solution that addressed the issue at hand, and never once tried to sell me services I didn't need. I really appreciated his honesty and straightforward approach. Jeff was also incredibly responsive and was able to come out within just a couple of days of my initial call. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, and focused on helping rather than upselling, I highly recommend Countywide Pest Pros.

The very next day we didn't see a single ant in the house!

The first company that came out quoted me for woodwork and tenting. I was uneasy from the start, as I wasn't comfortable with their high-pressure approach, and the owner was rude and sent unprofessional texts. Despite my reservations, I had to proceed with the inspection. Thankfully, I hired Eliminite Termite Services. From the start, Gary, was outstanding - professional, attentive, and really listened to my concerns. He arranged the termite service promptly. Then, Hiram Ruiz came out and performed the treatment. He was equally professional - he inspected the house thoroughly, explained everything, and confirmed there were no termites in the attic. The only termites were on the patio, which is being torn down, but he treated that area as well. Plus, I paid less than the initial quote and did not have to have my house tented. I am so happy with Eliminite Termite Services - if you need termite services, they're the ones to trust!. Jason

I used Jake and his team for termite tenting and was pleased with the decision. We knew we had…read moretermites for a while but were delaying the tenting because of the life disruption. Yes, that part wasn't fun (bagging up everything), but Jake and his team made it as easy as possible. They showed up on time, kept us informed and walked us through the process. Jake came to our home a few times because we have a unique situation with a granny flat on the property with underground conduit. He was a barely more than our cheapest estimate but he uses his own long-term team and had far more knowledge and experience. Whatever you do, don't work with anyone using day-labor since there is far more likelihood for theft. We had a great experience with Jake and would go through him again.

Switched routes and chose fumigation for peace of mind and in one day came out and quote once again was under the competition. That in itself was a win but to top it off, a confusion with SDG&E resulted in gas shut off being cancelled. Toby called me at 7pm on a Friday, had worked the issue with SDG&E and his team who originally had the tent over the house by 11am came back and waited 3 hours on a Friday night awaiting SDG&E. Their prompt response and dedication to all my kids and I to come back into our house on Sunday was amazing. I am confident that other companies would have just called it a day and I would have been left scrambling to come up with a new plan and would have had more out of pocket costs. From the first interaction to the last, this company showed honest communication, professional and dedication to the customer. A local business that does things the right way. If you have a pest problem, it might seem easy to use the bigger companies but Annex Pest Control should be the company to choose.
