“"Jerry's got nothing. Newman's got nothing. You're the only one I know who's got the good stuff, and I need it bad, baby, cause I feel like I got bugs crawling up my skin. Now you gotta help me out."-Cosmo Kramer, SeinfeldDa Scene: Like many recent reviewers, we were kinda freaked out by the appearance of some little black bugs (kinda like long ants) in a couple of areas INSIDE the house after the 1st rains of the season. In our case it was compounded by the fact that they appeared to be coming in through the ATTIC and dropping down; not coming up through the crawl space under the house. I found maybe a total of 20 of the little guys in 3 spots (kitchen counter under the range vent, guest bathroom under the skylight, and disturbingly; master bedroom under some recessed lighting, right on my pillow - Aaaaaaah!??!).After 20+ years in our home, it's the 1st occurrence so we were pretty concerned. After internet searches, image comparisons we determined subterranean termites and wanted them "taken care of".Da Work: Opened a YELP! Project and jobbed a quote out to several outfits with descriptions and images, wasn't happy with the 1st round of responses, did some more searching and added a few more manually. Contra Costa Termite Control's initial response stood out from the crowd. 1. Jen 1st took the time to explain the background of why this was happening (detailed in many other reviews, so I'll leave that out here) and to reassure us that we in the highest probability did NOT have an infestation; we would likely not see any more activity. She went on to suggest a wait and see approach before scheduling an unnecessary inspection.2. For piece of mind, I insisted that I'd like them to come out anyway to confirm her suspicions, it had been since we bought the house when we had the last inspection, so I thought why not?3. Joe came out and checked the crawl space only, explaining the odd source coming from the attic as during the initial "swarm" happening outside, a few of the little guys flew in through the attic vents and "went towards the light". He did find some other non-related/not urgent issues under our bathroom areas which we'll take care of in the spring. Quick & easy... parcheesy.Da Service: Can't sing their praises high enough. From start to finish this outfit is customer-focused, thoughtful and knowledgeable. They shared information freely and never pushed for services or action, only providing options. This can't be said of some of the other contractors who contacted us on the project... MANY were quick to push treatment options right off the bat. Great communications via YELP! then txt/sms, email invoicing and payment options like check, debit/credit card, Zelle or Venmo.Just a CLASS OPERATION all around - thanks for the help and use me as a reference anytime!“
“John Taylor Termite is a remarkable termite company, and this praise isn't solely due to John's meticulous attention to every termination job; it's also because he consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty.My initial encounter with John's exceptional service occurred when I was in the midst of a weekend floor renovation for one of our preschool classes. With a sense of urgency, I reached out to John, and his response was nothing short of remarkable. He promptly scheduled a visit for the very next working day, demonstrating his commitment to providing a swift and efficient solution to our termite concerns.Upon arrival, John arrived with his team of highly trained technicians, and they wasted no time in addressing the issue at hand. Within a matter of hours, our termite problem was effectively resolved, and we were back on track with our flooring project. This level of responsiveness and professionalism speaks volumes about John Taylor Termite's dedication to its customers.“
“Had no idea I had termites until I found a tiny little hole in sheet rock. They came out and did a more thorough inspection than the other termite company I called and the man who performed the service were professional and nice and cleaned up very well after themselves. I later found more holes in another wall and they came back out and did more work for me. Great company, highly recommend!“
“After receiving a quote from a pest inspector for over $1000 to deal with termites in a very small out building, I called Echobots and they quickly came out and did the same exact work for less than half the price. Monica and Josiah were extremely honest and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!“
“I asked Oakland Hills Brush Clearing to come out to give an estimate on getting rid of a lot of poison oak encroaching near our house, and they recommended we have J Spray come out to spray the poison oak beforehand to reduce the risk for the workers (and reduce the overall cost).Dan came out and was helpful, honest, knowledgeable, realistic, and transparent. He was thorough and thoughtful! We definitely will ask J Spray to come out again in the future and we highly recommend them!!!“
