    On going work

    What a well-run, no-nonsense business. We met Victor for an estimate. Victor was quick to offer the best economical AC options for our rental home while factoring in future electric laws. Not only was Victor thoughtful in all of his recommendations, he even included a few extras for us (removing and recycling an old satellite dish on the roof and flushing our water heater for maintenance). We selected a dual fuel Payne heat pump system and they were able to schedule installation within a few days. After the onsite estimate, the next business day a HERS test was scheduled and the city permit was pulled. Install day was a very hot day. The crew worked confidently and cleaned up after themselves. It was only 2 weeks from the time we phoned Upgrade Home Services for an estimate to completion of project which included HERS test and City Permit sign off. They even online registered the unit for the 10 year manufacturer warranty. What a relief to have this daunting home improvement project completed. Their prices are reasonable and their work comes with a seven year labor warranty. The ease of doing business with this company was exemplary. You will thank yourself for working with Upgrade Home Services!

    We replaced our gas furnace to brand new Amana heat pump and move it to attic. Victor and the team did a great job! Clean and efficient on all the installations and duct work.

They sent someone the next morning for an assessment and got us scheduled right away! In the interim, they gave us recommendations to deter the rats, which worked. Carlos and his crew arrived on time and finished quickly. The price was reasonable (honestly, on the cheaper side yet the quality and professionalism was great!). There was an issue with a short circuit because a rat chewed through the insulation that we didn't notice until the weekend, but Carlos responded immediately and came over to fix the issue. We are so grateful to Carlos and the Attic Crew for helping us with rats in the home, helping us feel more confident about keeping them out for the foreseeable years, and for all of their professionalism, knowledge, and expertise! Would definitely recommend!

    We worked with Jay, Andres(?), and Angelica. They really went above and beyond to help educate us…read moreabout the process of installing a moisture barrier and all the factors that go into successful rodent abatement. The communication was excellent, even on a holiday weekend I got called back within an hour of reaching out with questions, which I certainly did not expect! They arrived promptly for appointments and were thoughtful about avoiding tracking dirt into our home. They worked with us to customize their work to our coastal climate and were very transparent about exactly what materials they would be using (all top of the line, industral-grade!). I have pets and toddlers and they took my concerns about chemical disinfects seriously and offered several options to make sure I was comfortable with what was used in our home. They really seem to take pride in their work and enjoyed sharing before and after pictures to demonstrate all the improvements they made to our crawl space. I could not be happier with my choice to hire them, and plan to work with them again when I'm ready to replace my attic insulation.

They sent someone out to re-do the work and ensure the attic was fully sealed and rodent-free. The communication during this second phase was excellent. I've changed my rating from 1 to 5 stars because of their commitment to fixing the problem."

    I want to thank Atticali for taking on our rodent-control job and doing excellent work to help us…read morestop our rat infestation. Ours was a tricky project because our home is a townhouse that's one unit in a 6-unit building, and we're part of an HOA. Prior to calling Atticali, I had another company come out and do an inspection. They said the only way to solve the problem is to do exclusion work to seal all the places where rats are getting in across the entire building, including entry points on the common roof. But that company would not take the job because they were not insured to work on roofs and also because they didn't want to deal with an HOA. So, I called Atticali based on their good ratings. Irving was our inspector who came out and did a super thorough job of inspecting not only our unit but much of the entire building. I followed him throughout the inspection, which took about 3 hours. Some of my neighbors let Irving inspect their attics, where he showed me evidence of rats in each one of those attics. Irving identified many entry points on the common roof and verified that the only way to solve the problem is to seal all those entry points across the entire roof of the 6 units. I tried to rally my neighbors to have this job done together and properly because we all had rats in our attics and walls. But my neighbors were not interested. I also spoke to my HOA to see if they would cover the cost of the required work on the roof or at least approve this work to be done on our roof, since the HOA is responsible for the roof. (Note that these are one-story units with no access to the attics except for a small attic area above each garage, so the rodent exclusion work had to be done mostly on the roof and exterior.) Atticali was very accommodating and agreed to seal the areas they could in and above our one unit. They also agreed to work with our HOA regarding the required work on the roof. The two men who came did an excellent and thorough job, cleaning up all rat droppings and debris, and sealing all possible entry points. They did miss a bit of clean up, but once I pointed it out to them they cleaned the area very thoroughly. Even though we know it's not the ultimate solution (to have only our one unit addressed) and rats can theoretically get into our unit via our neighbor's unit, we have not seen any evidence of rats inside since then. Thank you Atticali!

    We have a crawlspace in our house that needed some TLC. Sure it provides a way to route air ducts…read moreand water pipes along with raising the house on pillars. However, crawlspaces can get moldy and wet from lack of care. If you ever encounter rodents, there is a good chance they came via the crawlspace. After all, we do hear noises at night at times, which is creepy. Jacob visited and gave a comprehensive review and estimate. We basically went for a full package of rodent control, cleaning, and installing a new vapor shield to keep it dry. The while job took maybe 2.5 days with a crew of 3 workers each day. Outstanding quality work. First phase was sealing up the homes around the house and crawlspace, and laying traps. The attic was inspected too. This was followed up with weekly followups to ensure no more rodents. This scope was subcontracted to Golden State Critter Control. Highly recommend working with Greg. The next two phases involve cleaning and eventually reinstallation of the vapor shield. Compared to what we had before, it was day and night! I also appreciated the crew alerting me to a leaky drain pipe. I later worked with a plumber to replace a cracked 3"D drain pipe that connected upstairs to downstairs. It was fixed in about 3 hours with two plumbers. Definitely recommend Crawlspace Clean for rodent control and crawlspace cleaning. 5 stars.

    I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Crawl Space Clean…read moreto save others from the same costly mistake. The main issues boil down to three things: excessive pricing, sub-par workmanship, and a very short warranty period. About a year ago, I discovered a bad rodent infestation. Looking for a quick solution, I made the mistake of hiring Crawl Space Clean without getting multiple bids. I spent over $14,000 on rodent-proofing and subfloor insulation replacement, only for the rodents to return. When I called them back, I was informed that my one-year warranty had already expired. They charged me extra just to patch entry holes they had missed during the initial job. During that same visit, they claimed I now needed a vapor barrier, quoting me an astronomical $16,000--though they offered a high-pressure "$500 discount" if I signed the contract that very day. Feeling suspicious, I finally did what I should have done at the start and called three other highly rated contractors for estimates. Every single one of them came back with quotes under $7,600 (less than half of Crawl Space Clean's price), and all of them included a 3-year rodent warranty. Furthermore, the contractor I ultimately hired to install the vapor barrier pointed out that the subfloor insulation previously installed by Crawl Space Clean had inadequate support and was already sagging. Learn from my expensive lesson: always get multiple bids, and avoid this company.

Professional and efficient, the two installers were in and out in 2 afternoons. Added spray cellulose insulation to attic and exterior walls. The house has wood siding in front and stucco on remaining three sides. They were the only one willing to drill hole through the exterior wood siding in front and patch. They also paint if owner provides the paint. The other two contractors said they had to drill holes from inside the house (oh no, we had just patched out walls after the electrical work). So far looks like house is staying cooler in warm afternoons. We shall see this winter!

I had my external walls insulated and they used cellulose to fill making 1.5 inch holes between the studs. Then they use a cork foam type backing to put in the holes as a vapor barrier and close it with stucco patch. Then comes the texture followed by primer. And if you provide them your matching paint they will color the patches too. They are nice and simple folks and easy to work with. Thanks I wonder why I waited so long to insulate the walls as the difference is noticeable and will save energy. They also help with rebates offered by state or federal.

    Beyond easy experience with Chris. My dryer suddenly started giving off a burning smell, which I…read moremistakenly attributed to the lint catch being overloaded. But even after cleaning it out, the smell wasn't going away. Then the vent started giving off either smoke or steam, and in a panic I immediately turned off the dryer. Thank God I didn't start a dryer fire. The second I shut it off and made sure everything was ok, I opened Yelp and searched for a dryer vent cleaner. Chris's Insulation came up, he had great ratings, he was super close by, so after calling a different service and going to voicemail, I called Chris. Chris picked up after the second ring. When I told him that I needed someone to clean our dryer vent and what had happened, he said he could come out either between 5:00 and 6:00 pm that evening or the next day. It was already mid-afternoon when I called, so I was surprised to hear him say he could still come out same-day, but I decided to have him do that since I was free and also still a little shaky following what happened with the vent either smoking or steaming. Chris showed up during the window he quoted and wasted no time getting to work. He started the second he arrived and was done within the hour. His pricing was incredibly reasonable and fair and so far, in the couple of weeks since he was here, we've had no issues with the dryer. Before he left, he also sent us a ton of pictures of what the vent looked like post-cleaning. Super happy and relieved.

    Professional service and they were able to come same day, which was the most helpful for me.read more
