I truly can't say enough good things about my experience with Rene and his team. From start to finish, everything was above and beyond what I expected. Whenever I take on a home project or repair, I make it a point to do my due diligence--getting multiple quotes and evaluating companies based on their thoroughness, transparency, customer experience, and ultimately, the quality of their work. Rene and his team stood out immediately and exceeded expectations in every category. The inspection alone was incredibly thorough. They took the time to walk me through everything in detail, explaining not just what they found but why it mattered and how it should be addressed. I walked away feeling much more informed and confident, which is rare. Their customer service was just as impressive. Rene and his team were extremely responsive--any questions or concerns I had were answered quickly and thoughtfully via email. What really stood out was how much Rene valued communication. He never made me feel like I was asking too many questions--in fact, he welcomed them and made me feel like a top priority throughout the entire process. And the results speak for themselves. The quality of the work was outstanding. On top of that, Rene even identified and treated additional drywood termite areas with care, without charging extra. That level of honesty and integrity is hard to come by these days. It's not easy to find companies you can genuinely trust, especially in this space where it's easy to feel taken advantage of. That's why I truly appreciate professionals like Rene and his team. They are knowledgeable, honest, and take pride in doing things the right way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work. This is a team that genuinely cares about their customers. read more

I really cannot say enough about Rene and his team. Communication was awesome from beginning to end. There were no 'gotcha' moments. They were clear about everything they'd do, and they followed through. They made sure things were done the right way, and they were frankly just nice guys that I enjoyed having around. They were great with the family and pet. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for work to be done. read more

We were all a little freaked out when we saw thousands and thousands of termites flying around inside our house after a big rain. As we started to investigate, it seemed termites were everywhere, both inside and out. We needed the issues dealt with as soon as possible, as we had a family member staying with us. We emailed and called a number of places, got some basic details from a handful of different companies, and had several come out in the next few days to give us a bid. The bids were wildly different in the property space that was covered, the insecticide techniques and the warranties. We decided to go with Top Grade Termite Control and we were very happy that we did. Our service provider, Ricardo, inspected the property carefully and was very thorough. He let us know what he was doing and why. He didn't mind that we were peering over his shoulder, asking questions. There was no mess or smell afterwards. Ricardo arrived and finished on time, was very courteous and professional, and was so easy to work with. Plus, Top Grade Termite Control offered a free inspection a year after the original work to ensure there are no lingering issues. I highly recommend Top Grade Termite Control for all your pest problems. read more

Rene was so quick with communication, his staff were all so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would hire again for other issues and recommend for anyone looking for termite control. read more

Met Rene and Ricardo back in 2024 to take care of some termite issues. They were super knowledgable, professional, and made sure to take care of you. Now in 2026, I had to call them back to assess some issues found through a home inspection and they were very responsive and let me know what I needed to do and informed me if parts of the inspection were over exaggerated or not. Everyone on the team from Rene/Ricardo and the specialists are all great, honest, and genuine people. You won't regret hiring them. read more

We've had them treat both subterranean termites and wood termites, as well as address some dry rot on our old house. I appreciated how thorough they were with the inspection and quote, as well as their professionalism and responsiveness. They addressed the wood termites for us under warranty after they treated the subterranean termites initially, even though the wood termites were a different kind and in a different part of the property. I really appreciated that! Thanks! read more

Thanks Rene! Great communication! Hopefully the critters stay away. Will use again if we have too. No offense, Rene.

Top grade termite is my go to. The owner Renee is awesome. I highly recommend this establishment, I have using Renee for years.

I had preventative termite treatment work done by Top Grade a little less than a year ago and recently had them come out to look at a different issue which they treated at no cost. First of all, Rene and his employees have fantastic customer service. Second of all, I really feel Rene is very trustworthy and he's seeking to make a positive impact and is very responsive. He and his team very clearly care about the outcomes for their customers. Alejandro was his employee that came out for the follow-up and he was very professional, kind and kept my home clean. Thank you! read more

Very good communication, excellent explanation of their estimate, the team that worked on our termite problem was considerate and respectful, and I would use Tom Grade again in the future for sure. One more datapoint - I had a good handyman visit afterwards to repair the wood damage done by the termites and he saw no sign of live termites. He was the guy that found the termites in the first place. All gone! read more

Rene and his team were prompt, professional, and so easy to work with. It's clear that Rene is well-versed in his field and we appreciated his insight into our termite issues both inside and outside our home. He let us know the areas we should consider addressing with our HOA that weren't termite issues, but areas that might be due to other pests. We hadn't even noticed these areas prior, so we definitely appreciated the feedback! The pricing was fair and all the work was clearly worded in each inspection and work completion report we received. Certainly recommend their services!! read more

I had heard what I was almost certain was termites in my wall one night. I called Top Grade on Thursday and they sent two guys to my house the following day (Friday). They looked in the room where I thought I heard termites. They looked outside, especially in the area near the room. They crawled into the crawl space below the room and looked around. They could find no sign of termites, and told me they did not think I had termites, but to call them again if I see any or hear them again. Another company came out and also found no sign of termites. The next day I found the source of the mysterious noise that I had thought was termites. It wasn't. Nonetheless, Top Grade sent me an email with a 4 page report indicating that there was no evidence of termite infestation. My conclusion: 1) They are honest and don't lie and say there are termites when there aren't just to get $ for an unnecessary service. 2) They are thorough and go above and beyond the call of duty. For these 2 reasons I gave 5 stars and would use them if I ever did find termites. read more

Rene was outstanding all around. Communication, response time, accommodating my rigid schedule, explaining everything, competitive pricing.... He went above and beyond. Offered to replace the exterior trim he had to remove once the work started. Rene and his team showed up on time (early and waiting in car for me) was very respectful and efficient. Super pleasant, professional, punctual, just all around best service experience I've had in any area. Highly recommend. read more

Bao from Top Grade was far and away the most thorough inspector we had on site (finding infestation evidence in a couple locations that were missed by all others). This made Top Grade an easy choice. Coupled with a competitive quote, efficient treatment, and ample documentation of the work done, I can whole heartedly and enthusiastically recommend them read more

These guys are my go to pest inspectors. super thorough, reliable, and dependable. They always male time and are responsive and speedy with the report turnarounds. They are always courteous with my clients and respect the property when doing repairs. A must go to! read more

These guys are the best. We've used them repeatedly because they are responsive, friendly, and professional. I checked prices against some other companies before I initially hired thema couple years back, and their prices are in the ballpark for services in this area. I've recommended them to multiple people already and am now recommending them on Yelp too! read more

Rene stood out from the other termite quotes we requested for a few reasons, but mainly because of his clarity, responsiveness and follow-through. He never came off salesy when he followed up on our request, and was honest throughout the process every step of the way. Our new home came with a pest report from the standard inspections, and Rene and team gave us a fair quote and reinspected for any additional work after we provided the initial inspection. Overall, they did a great job, took pics and videos along the way to share with us, and their 3-year warranty on work provides us with peace of mind. He even let us know that if contractors ever dig near the termite treatment area to give them a call, and they can come out for free to apply the treatment again. Great value and service from Top Grade! read more

I didn't wind up hiring them, since I actually didn't need an exterminator, but Rene was very responsive, and Ricardo was very polite, friendly, and was very thorough with his inspection. I felt that I would be in good hands with Top Grade. read more

So we were in Hawaii when the house sitter sent us pictures of termites in our living room by the grand piano!!!! Of course we were Shocked and 2800 miles away! Called other outfits we had used and not even a phone call back. Then I called Renee at Top Grade. It was 6pm and I thought right after I dialed they would not be there so hung up. Not a few secs later Renee called back, had me send pictures, outlined the plans the dates, everything. And more importantly Renee followed thru exactly as he said. The inspector came, the crew came, they did a superb job, everyone was friendly and they knew their stuff. I was a bit worried because the price was so very fair and there turned out to be problems removing outside woodwork that was the source of the termites. But Renee did not ask for more $$$ we of course offered because the woodwork removal made a one day thing into a three day thing. So all parties were happy! I would recommend Top Grade for anything. What a nice professional outfit! Thank you Renee and the crew read more

As others mentioned, Rene is amazing and makes Top Grade Termite very easy to recommend. If you're on the fence, some things you should consider when deciding on TGT: 1. Knowledge/Education - Rene knows a ton, but he also takes as much time as needed to answer questions, not rush you, and help you better understand your home in general. For example, he pointed to evidence of subterranean termites in the past, but also informed me that our house was made with very dense wood which significantly lowered risk of a serious infestation. This helped us decide on going with a preventative application for a specific type of termite, and also rest at ease knowing we have good quality wood. 2. Responsiveness - Super easy to work with. Not hard to schedule calls or appointment times, and very straightforward. 3. Quality & Value - We had a preventative treatment done that felt very reasonably priced. Rene also helped apply some mild fungicide to help with other things in our house. On top of that, the guys were done very quickly and did not cut corners. We had a tricky garage situation with neighbors which didn't let us treat the entire perimeter of our property, but rene came back after we'd talked to our neighbors and did a bit extra for us. read more

Best service ever! This company is super fast, efficient, professional and generous! Thank you Bo and Rene!

Saw one of the main crew guys doing work at my neighbor's for termite treatment and wood repairs. My window frames are the original ones installed 30 years ago and I noticed a lot of dry rot so had them do an estimate. The price seemed fair, not the cheapest or highest; and you get what you pay for. These are licensed contractors, so you won't be paying "handyman" prices. Even if a handyman replaces your wood, he won't be able to handle termites if any are found in or behind wood framing structures. Rene's crew did a fantastic job replacing most of the window wood framing, on two floors, and even one exterior door frame (plus caulking and painting) that had a lot of dry rot. When he came back the next week for a follow-up, there were a few items missed; but Rene promptly scheduled the time to complete everything with a 1 year warranty. They stand behind their work, and I am very pleased. I would recommend him to any neighbors or friends who need termite inspection and repairs! read more

Very responsive, articulate and respectful. Recommended what was needed to be done and did not sell me unnecessary services. Definitely recommend. read more

Boy a boy a boy a boy a boy! When one thinks of customer service one should think about top grade and Rene! This company is the epitome of great customer service. I first heard about Rene through a neighborhood used his services on next-door neighborhood app. If you know that app you know very well that nobody raves unless they're worthy there's a lot of grunting and a lot of complaining on there but when it came to finding information for termite inspections Rene came highly recommended! I immediately came to their yelp page and I saw that the neighbor who had referred me also left him a five star review which made me feel even better. From the moment I called Rene he was responsive, professional, helpful, courteous, and prompt, he showed up right on time! Did his job beyond expectations and sent us a professional and clean report with photos. We had to have him come out and he was so gracious and came out to do the rest of our report because my husband had not cleaned a certain area which was not accessible during the inspection. If you're looking for a termite inspection that's great but with Rene you're getting a lot more. You're getting top quality customer care, professionalism, and a thorough honest report that involves cameras and more. I feel he's worth his weight in gold if not more, book 'em you are in great hands! Thanks Rene!! read more

Top Grade Termite Control - I'm so embarrassed my husband didn't clear this area for the initial inspection. Rene was charming about it. - Pest Control Near Me

I highly recommend Top Grade Termite. They did some work for me months ago and when they came out recently to wrap up their 1 year warranty check, they noticed that some of the work they had done was starting to show signs of wear. They voluntarily offered to fix it and they made it better than new. My service provider was Rene Vargas. If you get him to work on your home, you're lucky because he's a great guy that does excellent work. read more

Excellent service all around. We had an inspection by Ricardo, who was helpful and honest about the assessment. We continued working with Rene, who coordinated all communication and follow-up work. He was very responsive and answered all the questions we had. He came to our house to lead the work crew, who did a great job even while we experienced bad weather, including several power outages. Everyone was highly professional, efficient, and on time. We were especially impressed with Rene's quick and helpful communication. Would definitely recommend! read more

Rene is fantastic. During our remodeling work, we discovered damaged wood and tunnels that appeared to be caused by termites. I found Rene on Yelp, where he has a well-deserved 5-star rating and numerous recommendations, so I contacted him for advice. He came over in the afternoon for a free inspection and informed us that the damage was from old termites. He also showed us how to identify active termites and pointed out areas that had been previously treated. We were unaware of any termite issues during our six years living here, so his insights were incredibly valuable. Rene advised us to wait until the construction work is finished before taking any action and recommended preventative treatments for the future. He was very professional and knowledgeable, offering necessary advice rather than pushing for immediate treatments just to make quick money. I am awaiting the inspection report and quotes for future work, but I am already super satisfied with his services. I will definitely recommend Rene to my friends and family. read more

Top Grade Termite Control - Damaged wood caused by some old termites - Pest Control Near Me

Rene took great care in looking around the outsides of our house for signs of termites upon initial inspection as well as any other signs of where there might be more termites outside the house. I myself know what the swarming termites look like and have encountered a pile of their dead bodies during the swarming season. However I do not know what the subterranean ones look like. On the day of the extermination, holes were drilled into the dry walls and a snake camera was used to look for the source of termites. They couldnt find any but the droppings were very much present. They filled the wall with the foam treatment which acts like ant poison (brings poison back to the queen and kill the colony). If anything returns, Rene said they'd come back to treat again and that felt reassuring! Any questions I had, they'd answer and then some. read more

Rene and his team were professional, punctual, responsive and offered to provide a free termite inspection when we shared a picture of an area with subterranean termites. They quickly provided the report and quote the following day. We didn't end up using them for treatment because our termites became quite active soon after and started roaming and we needed someone to come asap. Their schedule was already booked up for the week. We highly recommend reaching out to them if you have a pest problem! read more

This company provided the best value for the best price!!! The initial inspection was free and the work was done within days of the inspection. They were very professional and went above and beyond what was requested. I would 100% recommend this company!!! read more

I had to have my house fumigated because I had a really bad case of dry wood termites in the kitchen of the house I am renting. It was awful! Every morning I would have to clean up their poop they left during the day and night. As soon as I got the okay from the owner/property manager, I chose Top Grade Termite Control because of their 5 star reviews. Anytime I see a business on Yelp with ONLY 5 star reviews (and nothing less), I always wonder is the credibility that good? Well, now I can say that it is true and well deserved. From the start to finish, Rene was very personable and inspected the house very thoroughly. I had many questions and he answered every single text and email super promptly. He even made sure to drop off extra fumigation bags on the front porch. And the actual fumigation crew/company (Nor Cal Fumigation) that he works with is also top notch! They also only 5 star reviews too. The women at Nor Cal who helped me there were Lisa Scoffone and Lori Figueroa. Their customer service was amazing! As soon as the crew arrived, they were super friendly and very respectful to the entire property and the house. Even when I got home, they double checked all the cabinets. I know this because they took the boxes of tea (I forgotten in the cabinets) and placed them far away from the house so I can still use them. I was also concerned about the lemon tree that is very close to the house. And they assured me that it was not affected and it is still healthy and thriving! Then two more of Rene's workers came back (when the tent came down) and sprayed the attic and the crawl space. They also patched all the openings the termites got to and explained the warranty. Usually, a tenting experience can be super stressful but dealing with Top Grade and Nor Cal Fumigation - it wasn't. If was pretty much effortless because of them. Their service is above and beyond! If you to have your place fumigated, this is the BEST company to use! read more

I haven't wrote a yelp review in years but this one had to be done. Top Grade Termite Controls is great company to work with, you can tell Rene and his team are very knowledgeable about their craft. If you are looking for an HONEST and efficient service contact them. Rene treats your home like his. He made sure I satisfied with the work being done. Explained every step, what to expect and what he was doing. He's very respectful and does not try to sell you anything you don't need. I appreciated the honesty. The warranty is a very good deal as well and better then what any other company is offering. I would definitely refer Rene and his team. If I could give 10 stars I would. I had a great experience from the first phone call, scheduling my inspection to the day service was rendered. You don't really get to experience customer service like this anymore you can tell he cares about his company and his customers. read more

I use top grade Termite control company about a year ago they were excellent at explaining My issues with Termites they gave me a quote, and It was lower than any of the other termite companies they showed up on time. We're very efficient showed me videos, even cleaned my crawlspace with some debris that was left from previous construction, pieces of wood, that would attract Termites. I recently called them back since I had my floor installation to make sure that the Termites had not come back. They came back did an inspection found No termites! However, they found some water damage on my sliding out side in which they're going to take care of to prevent future damage. I recommend them percent and will use them every single time. read more

Rene is your guy! I can't recommend Rene enough - he is patient, knowledgeable, hard-working, and most importantly - SINCERE in his work. I'm lucky to have stumbled upon him and highly recommend him. A few weeks ago, I found some dry wood pellets on the floor in my Hall. This was my first time seeing this, and I didn't know what it was. I did some internet searching and found out that it could be termites. I got on Yelp and sent out a request to a couple of Termite companies - I spoke to 5 people, among which Rene was one of them. Among the other companies, I found Rene to be the most upfront and clear about how he planned to help me with this. He arranged for an inspection and came by to check and give me a quote. I had also taken a quote from 2 other termite companies - Rene was the best in terms of price and service. Rene also was knowledgeable and gave me a lot of useful termite-related information - what to look out for, etc. This was one of the things that stood out the most compared to the other two companies that came by. read more

Top Grade Termite Control, especially Rene, went above and beyond. They were always on time and easy to communicate with. Initial inspection revealed two spots, but when they arrived to treat them, they had no working camera to ensure they covered all spots inside the wall. So, Rene came to finish the work. He also inspected the garage again and found yet another spot and treated it. Then he applied a protective solution for free to make sure we have no termite infestation in our garage again. read more

While my termite needs ultimately couldn't be addressed by Top Grade due to geographic limitations, my experience with Rene was exceptional. He went above and beyond, transforming a simple service request into a valuable learning experience. Finding skilled, honest tradespeople is a challenge, and Rene's exceptional knowledge and experience make Top Grade a company I highly recommend. Thank you, Rene, for your time, information, and guidance. I'll definitely recommend your services. Amy read more

Top Grade Termite Control is amazing! I had a dry wood termite issue and had them over for an inspection and subsequently engaged them for the treatment. I had quotes from two 5 star Yelp reviewed termite control companies. Top Grade is the one showed up on time for the inspection, quoted within 24 hours after the inspection as they promised, and their pricing is very reasonable(a lot more reasonable than the other company to say the least)! On the treatment day, they did a thorough job on the area they quoted, and treated additional areas they found during the treatment without charging extra! They are honest, communicative, and technically very capable and thorough. Highly recommended! Thank you for the entire Top Grade team helped on our property: Rene, Ricardo, Bao, Alejandro, and Maria! read more

I rarely leave reviews but I'd be doing everyone a disservice by not doing a review for Rene and Top Grade Termite Control. Communication is superb and they are trustworthy. Rene is super patient and answered all 100 of my questions to make sure I understood the work suggested. The best part is not one time did I feel he was upselling any of the repair work and basically just told me how it is and gave me his recommendation. read more

Top Grade staff were extremely talented and focused on getting the job done with high quality lumber and supplies. They worked quickly but very efficiently and our house looks like it did when it was new. read more

This is one of those rare occasions where I have been so impressed by a service provider that I actually started writing my review while he was still working. Last week's bomb cyclones and torrential rains caused flooding that disrupted nests of subterranean termites and sent them scurrying up our drain pipes and (disgustingly) into our kitchen. It looked like the biblical Children of Israel crossing the Red Sea and into our sink (if the Children of Israel were gross, winged creatures that swarmed, flew and hopped all over your sink and counter). I found Rene at Top Grade on Yelp, sent him pictures, and he responded within MINUTES with his diagnosis. He provided an estimate (which he promised would not change regardless of any additional infestations he might find). We scheduled a FREE inspection the next day, and he provided me with fully documented results, including detailed photographs and comprehensive, easy-to-understand explanations. The infestations were indeed a little more extensive than I had hoped, but true to his word, the estimate did not change. Today, on the first and only dry day in these many weeks of deluge, Rene came out to do the treatment. He had emailed me reminders and answered all of my questions in detail, including how he envisioned the day (so I could plan my work around his). He drilled holes in the concrete around the exterior perimeter of the house and garage (not nearly as noisy as I feared), then came into my crawl space to knock down the termites' "mud tunnels" (don't ask) and destroy and remove their nests and those of ants. He also removed the wooden form board that our renovators had left many years ago when they built my home office in the basement, because the board, too, had become infested with ants. He had to walk back and forth through my office to get to the crawl space, and was careful to use shoe covers and to place a mud cloth over the carpet to keep it clean. When he discovered a light drip in the crawl space, he came upstairs with me to show me where my shower needed to be recaulked (a quick job for me). He also placed protective plastic under cardboard boxes that were stored in the crawl space which he suspected might attract ants. Rene has now completed the crawl-space stage and is now spraying deep into the exterior drilled holes with Termidor (Fipronil), and will then seal them with mortar. Throughout the process, Rene has been patient, professional, and considerate. He answered all of my questions, provided professional documentation, and in general has gone above and beyond to provide a superior customer experience. The treatment is very reasonably priced for the number of hours it took. It comes with a three-year warranty and yearly inspections at no additional cost. read more
