First time termite invasion and Steve and Joe knocked it out of the park. I had the wonderful experience of dealing with subterranean termites that had likely been chewing their way through my floor joists for years. Joe showed up on time and spent most of the day dealing with the external side of the house, which was quite the job with several obstacles. Within 48 hours they were able to secure the permitter as well as handle the crawl space which is a daunting task all by itself. Steve was quite friendly and very knowledgeable answering my questions along the way, which as a homeowner dealing with a first-time termite invasion, puts you at ease. Lastly, the price was extremely affordable, which was a huge plus due to the additional damage from the termites that will need to be addressed as well. I highly recommend Lomax Termite Control if you need quick and swift action on a termite invasion as these guys know what they are doing! read more

Great value compared to almost every other pest service! Very personal friendly and professional. They understand your needs. We told them we were on a time crunch after having a terrible experience with western exterminators. Lomax moved their schedule around our schedule and got the work done right on time. We will definitely be going back to Lomax for future services. read more

We highly recommend Steve Hall with Lomax! He really helped us out of a jam. Our prior inspector abruptly left the business due to health issues and we were left with a report from him recommending certain repairs that he was no longer able to complete. Despite our best efforts, we struggled to find a company who could do the work until we found Steve. Although Steve was incredibly busy and about to leave for a family vacation, he met with us and Joe promptly began and completed the work. Steve's communication was always stellar and his work was neat and clean. He also charged us a very fair price especially considering our circumstances. read more

No one likes finding out that you have an infestation of dry wood termites. But if you suspect that may be the case, I HIGHLY recommend Lomax. They're super responsive, came out to confirm and gave me an estimate in the same day. Steve and Joe did the restorative work in a half day and kept me apprised and informed as they worked. They stuck to their estimate. And they are a local Sonoma business. Excellent service! read more

I called over 20 termite companies to get quotes for a fumigation on a new house we purchased. Throughout my research, I found out that all of the termite companies contract out the fumigation jobs to only a few local companies so they are all just marking up the cost that the fumigation company charges. Steve gave me the best price upfront and didn't try to upsell me on anything. He was even willing to use the inspection report that the seller provided from another company, and didn't try and charge me for another inspection. Out of all of the companies I spoke with, I got a great vibe from Steve and completely trusted he would be fair and honest with this process. The day before the fumigation, I found out I missed having the neighbor's sign a notice allowing permission to go onto their property since my deck touched their lot line. We didn't live in town yet so I was freaking out trying to figure out how to get a hold of them. Otherwise, we would have had to wait another few weeks/months for another fumigation appointment. I called Steve to let him know our fumigation may not happen the following day. He looked on google maps and found out their address, then googled the address to find out their names and phone number. I ended up calling them and was able to get their permission so our fumigation could happen. He saved me so much stress from having to push out our move by weeks/months. I highly recommend Steve and will definitely use him for any future jobs! read more

Had several local recommended Termite Inspectors visit my house. Dry wood termites found as I expected. I choose Lomax because they provided best price and were able schedule me very quickly for tenting. I had a lot of anxiety about the situation. Steve at Lomax was most helpful every step of the way. As most Termite Control businesses do the fumigation and tenting was done by another company Best Care. Best Care did very professional work and left my house cleaner than it was before the tenting. I highly recommend Lomax and Steve if you have a termite concern. read more

I've been using Steve at Lomax for years. I don't have termites, but I spray periodically to prevent getting them since my area of Oakmont is heavily-infested with termites. Steve recommends at least once every five years. Steve is reliable, he comes when he promises, and he is CLEAN and extra-careful when he comes up out of your crawl space. And he is an honest guy, no worries re him being inside your home. Steve does a VERY thorough job of drilling and spraying around the exterior and trenching as needed and spraying inside the foundations. Lomax has a 5-year warranty, but Steve comes back after 3 years to do a free inspection just to make sure you are okay. After five years, spray again regardless! Lomax's price is CHEAP for such thorough coverage, and their prices have not gone up one penny in three years despite all the inflation!!!!! I give Steve and Lomax a happy five-star rating. read more

Steve & Joe just completed their very thorough job on our property. From our initial telephone conversation to waving goodbye, our experience with Lomax has been nothing short of exceptional. I can, without a doubt, recommend Lomax Termite Control should you be in need of their services. I think we can all agree, termites suck, knowing there is a company as professional as Lomax helps when you need to deal with such pesky pests. read more

We had a great experience! Swarming termites were an unwelcome part of Spring...and Lomax was super responsive. Called back quickly, came out to inspect and provided clear info. They were patient with my questions and concerns and the treatment day went smoothly. We are a month out from treatment and have not seen any termites at all. Great experience all around. Thank you!! read more

This is my first Yelp review. We discovered that we had subterranean termites at the back of our townhome. I contacted three exterminators based on their Yelp reviews; Steve, the owner, was the first to respond (even though he was on vacation). His coworker, Joe (very nice man...), came out for the inspection, and explained the whole process to me (they had to drill holes into the patio in order to get the treatment into the ground). Steve was consistently prompt at returning emails, and was the best estimate of the three. Today, they showed up right on time, were friendly and professional. Joe even offered to help me put all the patio furniture back in place! I would wholeheartedly recommend Lomax to anyone. read more

Experienced homeowners learn a lot over the years. One of the things you learn is that professionals like Lomax are increasingly rare. Every communication was prompt, all explanations were thorough. The work was done smoothly, confidently, and pleasantly in every aspect. What can I say sometimes you get lucky !! read more

Says what he'll do; does what he says. Don't wait. Call now. Lomax Termite Control proprietor, Steve Hall, is a true professional. Excellent communication by email and in-person. He arrived when he said he would, knocked out the job in record time and came in right on the price he quoted. Steve and Lomax _do_not_ belong to the flaky contractor club. (Why is it that it is so hard to get a contractor to show up when they say they will?) Steve is on it. Knows his stuff. Good advice. Doesn't try to upsell. Gives you what you need and doesn't try to scare you into a contract. (Hello Orkin, are you listening?) Local Sonoma guy. Nice. Professional. What more to say? If you even _think_ you have termites, call him. Now. Should I see (or even think I see) a termite again, Steve from Lomax Termite Control will be my first call. Oh and BTW, Steve's assistant (forgot his name, sorry) is a nice young man who also knows his sh*t. read more

They came and did a GREAT job, first inspecting under the house and around the perimeter, then using the less toxic teatment, which I requested. read more

I had termites! Steve Hall at Lomax was recommended to me and he and his co-worker, Joe, were exceptional. Professional in every way. Integrity, responsive, thorough and prompt! I highly recommend Lomax Termite Control if you need any of the services they offer. It was a pleasure doing business with them. read more

Lomax is the absolute best! Great customer service. Their ground termite remedy is adaptable to fit the specific need of the customer, whether the preferred solution is short or long term. Steve and Joe are great guys! Very reliable and personable. And, Lomax does not use the most toxic ingredients to get the job done. Highly recommended. read more

Steve delivered on his estimates and got a great team to do the fumigation on time and on budget. I really appreciate his work. I asked Lomax to take care of weed beetles and termites at a 90 year old home in Mill Valley. From his first email, he was responsive and understood exactly what I needed to get done. read more

We recently used Lomax Termite to tent and fumigate an older home in Glen Ellen, followed by repairing the damaged outside wood. Steve used two separate contractors to do the work (Best Care for the fumigation and Joe Silva for the repairs). We were very pleased with both jobs. Except for at the start, you can't really stick around to see the fumigation work, but Best Care was efficient in the tenting. And they finished right on time, allowing access back into the house as predicted. For the wood repairs, one company suggested replacing large amounts of damaged and nearby undamaged wood. That seemed like overkill. Steve and Joe saved us quite a bit of money by only replacing the actual damaged wood and no more. I appreciated that philosophy of only fixing what was broken and Joe's talent to do that. It saved not only $$, but time. Let's hope those bugs stay away! Mike G. read more

We just got a new house recently and after moving in called back Joe, who did the inspection for the sale. Why? Because Lomax did a great job and we wanted to take more of their advise to update our new home. They were quick, upfront about expectations and friendly. I strongly recommend Joe and Co. read more

Very responsive and professional. Did a great job and left everything as they found it.

Needed a vapor barrier installed before a quick escrow close. Lomax responded immediately and got the job done in just a few days. They also did our pest inspection and we got the report the same day! Great people and a great company. We highly recommend. read more

I'm extremely happy with Steve Hall and Lomax Termite Control. He inspected my infestation and provided a very reasonable estimate. Even when the infestation turned out to be much larger than expected, he stood by his quote and did a very thorough job. I'm very confident that he's done what is needed to get rid of the subterranean termites, and I know if I have issues (unlikely) he'll stand behind his work. Highly recommended! read more

I got a second termite report from Lomax. The first was done by the sellers. While I did not like the results of the report it was much more detailed and comprehensive than the first report. I decided to have Lomax do the work to fix all the section 1 findings. I was extremely happy with the quality of the work and the condition the property was left in. I highly recommend Lomax and would use them in the future. read more

Steve has been so kind and reassuring. He is prompt with getting back to you and is just a delight to work with. He does not try to sell you something you don't need. I wish all businessmen conducted themselves like Steve Hall! read more

Nothing but good things to say about LoMax. They were quickly responsive with every contact and question, came on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and left everything in place as it was before they arrived. And their price was excellent. Have absolutelyy NO hesitation in recommending them to all my neighbors in my HOA and other places--and have already done so! read more

As good as it gets! We bought a large house in the hills of Sebastopol that had a pretty significant termite infestation. I did a ton of research, learning exactly what type of termites we had (subterranean and dry wood) and the various treatments available. I then had five different companies come out, conduct inspections, and make a bid on the job. While all of the representatives were professional and friendly, Steve, the owner of Lomax, was above and beyond. A very easy going way with no pressure to contract with him. He offered to do essentially what the other companies were going to do for about HALF THE PRICE! I'm not talking about small change here either. We had to treat the subterranean termites locally and then we had to (against my better wishes) tent my entire house and fumigate for the dry wood termites. Steve did the local treatment himself and then contracted with a fumigation company to do the tenting and fumigation (all local companies do that). It was a royal pain but Steve was very reassuring and helpful throughout the process. I can save you a whole lot of time and effort looking for a good pest company in the north bay. Steve at Lomax is as good and inexpensive as it gets. read more

We had Lomax service our home as preventative maintenance a few times over the years, and once initially when we experienced some ants. I was really blown away by how professional and meticulous they were. They were really obsessed with doing the job well and making sure I was satisfied. It was refreshing to see and I was impressed enough to go and write a positive Yelp review. I also agree with some of the other comments: - his communication is awesome. very responsive. I like someone who will communicate by email, too. It's tough relying on the phone, as I'm pretty busy. - his estimate was accurate. He actually stuck to it despite the fact that the job expanded a bit. - no sales pitches, no upsells, no scare tactics. - punctual. was always there when he said he would. - courteous. very polite, professional, etc. Very happy using Lomax. Feel glad to have them as a part of my home maintenance crew. read more

Lomax Termite was excellent. I got a bid from two other termite companies and both were three times what Lomax charged. I appreciated that they told me you don't have "to turn your house into a toxic wasted dump" and just did the work that was needed. They did excellent and efficient work and Steve was very easy and nice to work with. You hope you never have to use a termite company, but if you do use Lomax! read more

Lomax Termite Control has been a joy to work with, on all levels. When we bought our 1918 farmhouse outside of Petaluma, the owners had already done a pest inspection. But when I checked the reputation of the inspectors they used it was spotty, at best. I turned to Yelp and liked what I read about Lomax Termite, so I arranged a new inspection. Steve showed up with all his gentleness and expertise, and I feel very lucky to have found him. First off, the previous inspectors somehow didn't notice our powder post beetle infestation. Steve showed me the telltale holes and residue, and I had no doubt that there was a serious problem. Second, despite the new and dire findings, Steve's estimate for fumigation and repair was a tiny bit LESS than the estimate of the previous pest control company. Clearly this was a no-brainer. Steve set things in motion for our super-10x-fumigation. Powder post beetles are no joke. Then he marked every bit of rotten or infested wood and did a walk through with his expert carpenter. Lomax's consulting carpenter Joe was the icing on the cake. Talk about beautiful work. All of our rotting fascia, window frames, siding and flooring was carefully inspected and surgically replaced in the most friendly and informative way imaginable. I elected to have the dozen beetle eaten posts in the crawl space replaced (and braced!) as well, and I'm sure glad I did. The posts that were removed were indeed powdery and riddled with beetle holes. Additionally Joe discovered that several posts had been removed without being replaced, leaving a main beam largely unsupported. That was remedied. It gives me great peace of mind to know that our house has been taken care of by the best of the best. read more

They showed up on time and did the work in a timely manner. They even crawled in the crawl space. Look no further.

Excellent pest inspection services from Steve. We used his services for an overall pest inspection and he was great. Professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. I liked how he drew the outline of the home and found other issues outside of pest. I'd use him again for the next Santa Rosa buy! read more

Steve was very prompt in answering my email inquiry when I sent him a picture of what looked like a sign of termites in my house. He was informative, professional, and was willing to come over and look at both inside and outside the house, as well as the crawl space, before he presented me with various treatment options. (Another company flatly refused to even come out unless I made a commitment to a specific treatment, which bewildered me. How would I know what I need, unless I firrst get a professional opinion?) Steve was great at explaining what was going on, did not try to oversell, and I opted to have a chunk of an interior wall cut out to treat the infestation. But Steve went above and beyond that; at no extra charge, he actually treated the crawl space underneath the room to prevent any potential spread, even though that was not part of the original plan. I was a bit nervous about having a big piece of the wall removed, but Joe did a fabulous job of putting everything back together, and repainted it. The wall now looks better than it did before. I am so glad that I found this company. Thank you to both Steve and Joe for your amazing work! read more

Steve is great! He is honest, hard working and reasonably priced. I have referred him to several friends and clients who have all been very satisfied with his inspections and repair work. I met Steve when I needed an inspection on a home my client was purchasing in 2014 and I have used him on almost every transaction ever since. read more

We had Lomax(Steve) do two different properties for us in summer & early winter of 2015. Using few words we would use him again when needed, without a doubt. read more

Steve Hall and his team did a great job treating my subterranean termite infestation. I highly recommend Lomax: their staff is hard-working and did my entire home in record time. Two thumbs up! read more

I got a couple of bids for termite control, and went with Lomax, and Steve. The reason is that Steve was more communicative, and more reasonable in price. He explained everything very well, and he put in the extra effort to communicate well, and do the job with more detail and care. I am very pleased with the result, and highly recommend him as the best for this in the Sonoma area. read more

We discovered evidence of termites in our family room. My husband contacted several services to see what needed to be done. He chose Steve at Lomax because of Steve's professionalism and quick responses to inquiries. He gave us options and explained everything completely, answering all our questions. Steve and Joe came out and did a fantastic job. In and out as promised and to our complete satisfaction. Great job! read more

Steve and his team did a remarkable job! Steve himself is a great guy to work with and the guys on his team couldn't be nicer people. Informative (we were a little concerned about any toxicity and ended up opting for Altriset after Steve took time to detail the various options), efficient, thorough, affordable and you receive a very detailed report after everything is done. I'd highly recommend these guys to anyone contending with termites. They deserve every bit of praise they're receiving on here. read more

Steve from Lomax Termite provided a thorough and competitive service proposal. He was friendly and professional throughout the entire process. I was happy to support a local business. I would recommend Lomax Termite for your pest control needs. read more

I had Lomax do a pest inspection on my home in Santa Rosa before i purchased it, and they were on-time, courteous and professional. My inspection was very thorough and all my questions were answered. I'm keeping their card on file for future reference for sure. read more

Moved into our new home in December and had the carpet pulled out and wood flooring installed. While taking out the carpet, the workers found a large infestation of subterranean termites under the carpet. Two other termite inspections had been done - one in August and one in October - both claiming that the house was clear of any termites. I was very concerned and did not trust the integrity of either prior company and started to look for anyone who was considered reputable. Based on the Yelp reviews, I called Steve at Lomax. He immediately worked me into his schedule and only spending approximately ten minutes under the house found the termites, their entrance and tubes. Drilled (in critical areas with parallel drilling to increase assurance) and trenched the entire perimeter of the house injecting the termite poison. Great service, went the extra mile with a smile! Don't trust the other so called "inspectors" and their cop out attitudes. read more
