With over 40 years in apartment renovation, I know a good contractor when I see one. Unless you're in escrow where tenting gives a property a "fresh start", local treatment is often the best choice but requires a high level of knowledge and careful execution. Lee Gillings, my Woody's Termite Control inspector, should teach classes for the termite industry. For example, did you know the approximate age of a contractors license can be seen in their number? Did you know that most "inaccessible areas" can actually be locally treated without tenting? Did you know that, a visual inspection is insufficient? Inspectors SHOULD poke, prod, knock on, and break exterior wood to inspect properly? Properly inspected and executed, local treatment can last much longer than tenting. After tenting, termites can come back the next day and you still have to repair tunnel/dry rot damage anyway! The expert father/son team of wood carpenters Ulyses and Jarred, treated and repaired my soffit/fascia board damage and painted without removing gutters. Awesome! Hoyong treated subterranean termites and soaked all exposed wood with Boracare, a sprayed foam product that makes exposed wood unpalatable to termites and too acidic for dry rot. Thorough Boracare treatment usually lasts for years. In short, Lee Gillings and his team are the "Termite Bomb"! ~ErgonomicsDr.com read more

I do not recommend this company for your escrow inspection. They came and found no evidence of active termites. 1 year later and I have at least 4 areas of termite activity confirmed by other termite inspectors and obvious with swarmers, frass, and visibly damaged wood. Larry came back when I asked about warranty coverage. He spent the majority of the visit dissecting the other report looking for things to refute or find redundant when the other report was mostly written to give an estimate for treatment. He only wanted to talk and had to be convinced to look around at the areas of concern. He looked only at areas pointed out in the other report. He noted there was no frass in an area where I had cleaned up the frass which was directly underneath termite holes. Other comments like this and throughout his explanation felt like he was being very defensive, making explanations and excuses, mentioning lawyers in the family. He concluded that he was not willing to cover any treatment under warranty. My realtor scheduled this company for our termite inspection. I do not recommend this company for your termite inspection. You should not feel safe, covered, or protected if they provide a clean report. Don't let your realtor pick this company. read more

Great service and staff On time inspections doing Did a complete inspection on my home. Very polite read more

The best, I like their costumer service, timely delivery and quality of service they provide.

Woody's Termite Control did a fantastic job tenting our house. They were quick, reasonably priced, and kept us informed every step of the way. The process was smooth, and most importantly, effective! Highly recommend their services. read more

This termite company is the most accommodating and knowledgeable termite company I have ever worked with! They have very competitive prices too! Their work is top quality and they are so professional as well. I have worked with many termite companies in the 35 years I have been a realtor, nobody bears Larry and Mark!! read more

I am in the process of buying a home and they were used for the inspection. I later called them with the report wanting to get the recommended treatments done that were shown on the inspection. I called and was told I would get a call back and never did. Called again and was told I would get a call back and never did. Called a third time and finally spoke to someone in charge who was informed me I would get an email from the inspector with an updated quote as many of the items on the initial inspection were being completely replaced and we didn't need to have those items treated. Once again no email 4 days later. I can't understand how you can manage to run a business like this. I shouldn't have to chase you guys down to help me. So I took my business else where simple as that! I definitely would not recommend. read more

I live in a house that is almost 100 years old and we have many problems, including rotten wood and termites. Through the years, I have dealt with many service workers and craftsmen. The men who worked here ( Ulyses, Jared and Frank) were extremely professional and knowledgeable.. They completed the jobs in a timely manner and did a good job of cleaning up. The office staff is also friendly and informative; we received a very thorough estimate. I highly recommend Woody's. read more

Absolutely do not trust Woody's OR any realtor that uses Woody's for termite clearance. Moved into a home that Woody's cleared (supplied by the selling broker). Less than two months into living here had a HUGE termite infestation (hundreds of swarmers flying around inside the house) and after inspection from two other termite companies determined that Woody's simply did not look in the attics and cleared the house. After more than 10 phone calls to Woody's over 3 months (they almost never return phone calls without repeated follow ups) and two follow up visits to the home they simply said too bad, we didn't see it. AVOID THIS BUSINESS LIKE THE PLAGUE AND DO NOT TRUST ANY REALTOR WHO USES THEM. read more

I will never used this business again terrible service ! My realtor had used them to inspect my house so I kept their number for future problems, when I had my first issue it took weeks for them to finally come out and take care of the issue , well i recently called them and I haven't heard anything . I like to support a small business however their customer service is horrible just communicate please! read more

My experience with Woody's was fantastic. They were recommended by my realtor. Larry was the inspector. He arrived to the property early, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and explained his findings thoroughly. Highly recommended! read more

It started out simple enough. I'm trying to sell my house and Woody's was chosen by the buyer to do the inspection. I then contracted with them to do the treatment and repair. Their treatment guy came on time and provided the service efficiently. The guys who were supposed to do the wood repair were two hours late and no one EVER called to keep me informed. I repeatedly called the office and was reassured. They finally came and went without checking in with me. One of the owners came the next day and noticed they completely ignored one of the areas for repair. The owner made a fair effort to compensate me for the inconvenience. But then, they rescheduled for another day, first thing in the morning so that, "nothing would delay them". Guess what.. They were NO CALL, NO SHOW!!! I called the office the next day and, low and behold, NO ONE could explain their NO CALL, NO SHOW, or even offer an apology. They rescheduled again, when they finally finished the job. There are plenty of termite companies out there. AVOID THE HEADACHE, CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE!!! read more

Woody's Termite Control are the best! We love Larry. He's always available, informative and helpful with whatever we need

In preparing my home for sale, I was referred to Woody's for an Inspection Report and remediation. First, the young man who did the inspection (Pablo) was first rate! Thorough, professional, explained everything. He was on time, courteous, and seemed to care about the quality of his inspection. Quality is so important and Pablo nailed it. Second, I had 4 areas of dry rot that needed to be addressed. Although I probably could have contracted the work myself and saved a couple bucks, the crew that Woody's sent were very good - they addressed the 4 small areas from Pablo's inspection, professional and courteous. Woody's was referred to me by my go to realtor...and I give them 5 stars. read more

Pablo came exactly on time and conducted a thorough & very efficient inspection. He provided an easy-to-understand explanation of the conditions at the property, and was pleasant & cordial throughout. We received the written report the next business day, and the estimates to repair were very fair. I will absolutely call them again on my next escrow! read more

This company was extremely helpful during all parts of the fumigation process! Silvia was wonderful to coordinate with and very accommodating. Thank you and excited to enjoy our home! read more

Very poor communication for our tenting service. Told us to only get consent from one side of the neighbors, then the contracted termite company can't tent and further postponed the appointment, which messed up all of our downstream schedule. Definitely avoid. read more

Don't let these people touch your house! We have had to pay thousands of dollars to fix the "repair" work they did. He bid very low on "repair" work after a termite inspection that was incomplete at best. They did the bare minimum to make it look like they repaired our roof damage. They left rotting boards all over, they cut beams that they shouldn't creating structural damage. Also very unprofessional when pushed to actually do the work they agreed to do. read more

We needed a termite inspection to re-finance our home.. Mark and his crew came to inspect and a couple of days later sent me his report. After a couple of other inspections, we chose Woody's for the price and the amount of work needed. The workers arrived on the date we had arranged , and accomplished about 75% of the necessary recommendations. When they finished, they left all the work areas neat abd clean. One of the crew, Hector, arrived the next day and by himself, completed the three doors that had to be replaced. He worked the entire day. His carpentry and painting was excelent. Two days later, Hector and a helper finshed the job. All the workers were courteous, and answered all my questions. Those in the office were also courteous and very accomodating. Woody's is a class company. read more

HE is a real good termite Inspector his father show him every thing in the business when he was a kid his father had a termite company called OSTIC TERMITE Company and his Father Show him the Business and to do it right and be fair to the costumer so they will always call you back because you are fair and do it the right way and his UNCLE show him how to do the wood work right the first time that how good he is I will call him back all the time because it will be done right the first time. read more

As a Realtor, I have a need to trust all companies I recommend to my clients. I have used Woody's Termite for years now and without doubt, they have given the best service of termite companies I have ever used. Always on time, the crew are top notch and best of all, there pricing is more than fair, I will continue recommending Woody's to all of the agents in my office. Here I am again, whereby I used Woody's termite today (May 13, 2016). And again, absolutely the best experience. Their customer service is the best in the industry. Both Mark and Larry couldn't be more knowledgeable and helpful. So many termite companies can scare you right out of a deal, but not Woody's. Always fair and helpful. I highly recommend them. read more

I work for a real estate brokerage in Toluca Lake and Hollywood Hills. With all the agents in the two offices and the many termite companies that have been used in different escrows, Woody's has been the most reliable, fairly priced, ethical and flexible. Almost all the agents now recommend Woody's as the termite company of choice. Woody's makes it a priority to do what it takes on their part to help close the escrow. Managing an escrow with lenders, inspectors, and disclosures, the last thing you want to deal with is an unreliable termite company. A GREAT company to work with and to have getting rid of termites at your home!!! read more

Really HARD to reach this company! Our realtor recommended us this company and we went with them... It took two different days to treat our house and everything was very unprofessionally organized. Not even sure if they really did the job... Not sure what's going on with this company... But I wouldn't work with them again. read more

They were called out by the bank as part of the purchase of our home (the bank was the seller and needed to repair areas of the home prior to selling it). Woody's job was to replace wood (T&G planks) that was dry rotted and/or termite eaten. They pulled up the tar paper on the roof, replaced the planks, and put nails through where they shouldn't have - you can even see them in the ceiling! Their work was completely incompetent and resulted in several roof leaks. Judging from the other negative reviews, they bid jobs very low and then do the minimum amount of work to get out of there, even if the job is not finished. Avoid them like the plague. read more

Woody's termite is honest and very professional. They will give you the best price.

Larry from Woody's is trustworthy - he does what he says he going to do and does it in a timely manner which makes a huge difference in a time sensitive real estate transaction, I would suggest that if you want a company you can depend on to do what they say they are going to do, then go with Woody's. I hope to work with them on all my future real estate transactions. read more

Be careful! They had treated our house before we bought it. When we purchased the house the inspectors found termites, so we went back to Woody's since it was still within the warranty period for the work. After significant messing around they finally came out and it was a horrible experience. To begin with the owner (I believe) could not have been more condescending if he tried...let me tell you how it is little lady. He said there were no active termites only dead termites. Ok, I needed to take him at his word...and I couldn't get rid of him fast enough. Well, 3 months later we have very visible evidence of very active termites. Horrible, horrible, horrible on every level. While they should fix it under the warranty, I will go elsewhere because I don't trust them at all. read more

I would avoid this place. They have too many loopholes in their contract and do not guarantee their inspections. I recommend using an alternative termite company. read more

We had a very nice young man by the name of Pablo come to our home for an inspection. First off he was a man of integrity. Last week we set up a day and time. The day of he called a half hour prior as he said he would and arrived in that time frame. He greeted me with a friendly smile. Professional business cards, told me what he was going to do in the house and explained noises etc. he was extremely thorough. You could tell he really knew what he was doing and on top of that he seemed to really enjoy his job. He closed everything back up, looked the part, and just a genuinely friendly guy. I almost wish he did find termites because I would feel that he would do the job right. read more

I actually called Woodys Termite to get a second opinion since the first termite company I called tried to charge me a ridiculous amount of money for unnecessary work. I am really glad I called Woodys, their prices were really good and their service was great. I liked their honesty. read more

I had the misfortune of my Realtor's choice for termite inspection on the sale of my house. They show up, find dry rot and say dry wood termites on outer perimeters of my house. I understand treating the dry rot, I have done that before. Woody's saw PayDay! Let's use an expensive heat treatment, which distress many aspects of your house and is not guaranteed to work. We were forced into tenting the whole house, which was upsetting for everyone including neighbors. The inspector on my property asked if they actually saw a termite or was it just dry rot. He said they just want the thousands of dollars they can charge. So Woody, money ill gotten does not spend well. read more

Wish i had read the reviews before using this company! I am the seller of a property and the buyers agent recommended them. They bid my job really high for wood work on patios and i cant even tell what they did aside from smelling the foul order from the termite chemicals they use. Do no use this company; they only seem to get good reviews from real estate agents. read more

love woodys and the staff. as a realtor, they are my go-to company. both lary and mark are highly professional, friendly, and efficient. i appreciate their honesty and not trying to make more money off of my clients. read more

These guys are great! They came over to fix some termite damage in our doors. Our puppy got to the filler and ate! We were pretty worried and were able to get in touch with them after hours. They hadn't experienced something like that before and even asked if I had a vet to take her to. They told the the product they used and we called the ASPCA poison control center and were supposed to be charge a fee since it was an emergency. After telling the phone rep the product, and them speaking with their vet, everything was fine. The product they use actually had an account with the ASPCA and paid the emergency fee. We called back a week later to reschedule a new visit to fill the damage the puppy did. They came back, took care of it, and didn't require any additional payment! That's customer service! Thank you!!! read more

AWESOME! THE BEST! When we bought our house, we had Woody's do the inspection. They presented us with a comprehensive report as well as options as to how to address. Larry showed up the day of treatment, answered all of my questions and concerns, and told me I could call him anytime. He's kind, personable, and he truly cares about his customers and his work. Years later, just this last week, we discovered a hole in our windowsill and found a few bugs. I was immediately terrified as to how bad the problem was, especially because it was in or baby's play room. My wife and child were out of town, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to assess the issue for days. I called Larry on his cell and he immediately picked up. He remembered me, our house, and when I explained the situation, he said he would be over in a few hours. He and his guys treated the area, Larry then called and gave me a full update, and he assured me whatever the extent of the problem, he would handle it. They came back the next day to make sure the treatment had worked and then repaired the area. He has also scheduled to come back and do a complete inspection of the house. I was so incredibly grateful for his immediate response, his calm and assuring tone, and his comprehensive follow up. Cannot possibly recommend Larry and Woody's Termite any more highly. They are fantastic! read more
