Terrence with Priceless Termite Control is, without question, one of the best termite inspectors in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a Realtor, I need professionals I can trust to be timely, knowledgeable, accurate, and professional--and Terrence consistently exceeds expectations. I've worked with him on multiple transactions for the past three years, and every experience has been outstanding. One of my clients was especially impressed when Terrence carefully reviewed and corrected the Section 1 work recommendations on their property, saving them unnecessary expense and confusion. His inspections are thorough, his reports are clear and delivered promptly, and I learn something new from him with every property he inspects. He takes the time to explain his findings and always puts the client's best interests first. If you're looking for a dependable, honest, and highly experienced termite inspector, look no further. Terrence is my go-to termite professional, and I highly recommend him. read more

Terrence was given the nickname of "Terrence the Termite Terminator" on a review posted a few days ago by another Yelper and I 100% agree that he should wear that title with great pride. Very much like that reviewer, we also did NOT have termites (thank goodness because I had dreaded visions of broken walls, tenting in my future and a smaller bank balance!) What I really, really, REALLY appreciate was Terrence's honesty and knowledge. He could have easily told us we had a terrible termite issue and charged us for something we didn't need. Thank you for the complimentary house call- I likened his visit to one in which the doctor has told you that you don't have the "C" word after all! (If you could have heard my sigh of relief when he said we didn't have termites!) I completely recommend Priceless Termite Control based on his honesty and integrity alone. In addition, Terrence is very personable, easy to talk to and informative. This is a quality company; I sensed his expertise the minute Terrence walked in. read more

Fantastic job on my termite situation, very professional, easy communication. (They were really patient with my own scheduling challenges.) I'm a first time homeowner and I didn't realize I should get this checked every few years, but they reassured me that there wasn't notable damage yet. I'm looking forward to working with Terrence for future inspections and treatments! read more

Called due to random holes appearing on my exterior siding. Terrence quickly identified it as a Powder Post beetle issue and identified other places it had infested my home. I quickly approved the quote, and he was able to come out the next day to remedy the infestation. Honestly, I was mostly relieved it wasn't termites but a relatively lower risk beetle issue. Further, Terrence gave me advice on prevent future infestations of both beatles and termites, and included a warranty and 3 years of free inspections tied to that warranty. I'll definitely use Priceless Termite Control for future needs! read more

A big thank-you to Terrence of Priceless Termite Control. I noticed a " saw dust" dropping on the bottom window sill at my mother's residence in SF. I reached out to him on Friday. He promptly returned my call, and I explained to him the issue. To my surprise he asked if he could come by on Saturday. What promptness! He showed up on Saturday. He inspected the area and diagnosed the issue. Unfortunately, he did confirm it was termites. He thoroughly explained the process of eradicating the termites along with the price quotes. I then asked him when his next availability was; he said that he could to it "right now." WOW! He got to work and before you know it, he had completed the job! Terrence then explained the warranty of his work. My mother and I are very happy with his outstanding service and workmanship. A big thumbs-up and totally recommend Priceless Termite Control! read more

David is a great inspector and business owner. I used to request him as my inspector when he worked for Twin Termite. When I called found out he had moved, I called him directly and he immediately agreed booked my appointment. He also referred contractor to make necessary repairs. This is very important to me as a residential realtor. read more

We noticed some "sawdust" raining down from the roof of our outside deck and thought it might be termites. David came over and diagnosed the problem as carpenter bees. He was able to convince them to "move out," then sealed up the holes and applied a repellent to keep them from coming back. A perfect job. read more

In just under an hour after my first call, the problem was confirmed and treated. Terrence understood my time crunch and helped me out. Great customer service! read more

It was the week of Christmas. I was ready to relax with my time off when I woke up to termites escaping through little holes they had chewed by an outlet in my bathroom. After controlling the immediate situation, I contacted Priceless Termite Control. I sent over a few pictures and they scheduled time the next day (Christmas Eve!). Terrance gave me a two hour arrival window first thing in the morning and showed up 5 minutes early. He quickly assessed the situation, explained what was going on, told me what needed to be done, and provided a fair quote. I had him take care of things right then & there. He did quality work that was I really happy with. No sign of termites since and was told if they come back within a year to give him a call to come back out. Terrance saved the day / week / month. read more

I wouldn't trust anyone else in the Bay Area with inspections or fumigation and repair. Terrence is fabulous, his team member David is fabulous. When I was buying my house in 2020, I didn't believe the seller's inspector hadn't found any termites or termite damage since every other house inspection I'd reviewed had. It's sort of par for the course with 100-year-old houses in Oakland. Anyhow, of course Terrence found both termites and wood-boring beetles, and the house needed to be tented, etc. Fast forward six years, and David came out to do a quick inspection to make sure everything was still okay and assuage my fears. He showed me a few wooden places termites had been that I should worry about shoring up, but otherwise found nothing of note. And to boot? Didn't charge me. Peace of mind! Plus awesome, responsive customer service. Hire this company! read more

Terrence scheduled an inspection appointment for my rental and could not make it but didn't notify me. I waited there for 1 hour and no show up. I called him, he rudely said he called me to cancel but no answer. this is absolutely lie! my phone doesn't have the record to prove he called read more

Terrence came to our home on time, as promised. He inspected the area of our house that we thought we had termite issues. After consultation, he recommended not to do any treatment today as he didn't think we had termites. I offered to pay for the consultation, but he wouldn't charge me for his time. He also offered to look at photos of the insect/bug/termite that we thought we saw if we find any. Very honest and easy to work with. I'll definitely call him if we have pest/termite issues. read more

I would give Terrence 100 stars if I could and highly recommend him to anyone who is concerned about pests in their home! He's friendly, fast, reliable, and provides outstanding service at a reasonable price. I found evidence of termites in my 100+ year old house and Terrence was able to do an inspection the NEXT DAY. He confirmed the termites but also found boring beetles and dry rot. I was so relieved when he treated the termites and beetles the same day (with a 3 year warranty) and then returned a few days later to remove the dry rot and add new siding to the house. Terrence explained everything in detail and his work is impeccable and neat. You can tell he takes great pride in his business and I'm so happy I went with Priceless Termite Control instead of a "big box" company. read more

I called Priceless Termite Control and someone picked up the phone immediately, I explained the issue and they asked for photos showing the affected area. We then scheduled a free inspection over text. Terrance came by on time, inspected the area and gave us a very reasonable quote with a warranty. On the day of the spot treatment, he came by on time and did a great job spot treating the area. His knowledge and accountability stood out to us and we'll be calling Priceless Termite Control if we have further needs! read more

I was looking on yelp for a good company to spray for termites and priceless termite control had great reviews. So I contacted Terrence and he definitely lived up to the reviews. He came by and checked around and under the house. Then gave me a good quote and also let me know of some rot under the house. I appreciate that he took extra time to make me aware of some important issues needing attention. read more

Terrence the Termite Terminator Okay, so since it turned out that I didn't have termites after all, I have no basis for bestowing Terrence with this new title, but I thought it was so fitting that I couldn't resist. But what actually happened was that Terrence came out the day after I called with my fear that I was hearing termites in my wall at night. Terrence looked in the room where I thought I heard termites. He looked outside, especially in the area near the room. He looked into the crawl space below the room and looked around. He could find no sign of termites. The next day I found the source of the mysterious noise that I had thought was termites. It wasn't termites at all. Aside from the honesty Terrence displayed in telling me that there was no sign of termites (rather than pretending there was and charging me for a service that I didn't need), I also found his visit very enjoyable as he is a very friendly, smart and interesting guy with a good sense of humor. And I do think he should wear his new title with pride: Terrence the Termite Terminator read more

Excellent service. Priceless Termite was quick to respond to our request- overnight, after termites were swarming near our back door - yikes ! They inspected the next day. Subterranean termites were detected, they provided a thorough estimate and were out the next day to do the work. Trenched around the house, carefully drilled through pavers, and applied termicide. Determined that an old wooden garden box was part of the problem and removed it. On top of that Terrance and Dave are really nice people to work with. And then after our place a neighbor had them perform work two doors down. They also inspected my partner's home and found no evidence of termites -- honest folks !! Five stars all the way. read more

Terrence was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and highly professional! As a single "mom", I've never had to fumigate and I was a bit hesitant about the process. Terrence explained all parts of the process from the estimate to the repairs and ensured that all questions were answered, I was comfortable and I understood what was needed (and not.... Talk about not taking the opportunities to oversell me)! I received an estimate from Terminex whose inspection took a fraction of the time Terrence spent. Terminex worked hard to upsell everything possible and overlooked needs specific to my issue that I know were preexisting. They were about the sale:/ I highly recommend Priceless Termite to anyone in need of honest, reputable, friendly, professional pest control services! I'll definitely partner with them in the future for any related needs! read more

Terrance did a thorough job and communication was solid throughout. I like that it is covered by warranty and not a recurring subscription type arrangement. read more

So trustworthy. Terrence was able to eradicate termites after needing to reschedule several times. He went above and beyond the call to help me with an infestation. Highly recommend! read more

We discovered subterranean termites in our residence and hired Terrence, who is the owner of Priceless Termite Control. Terrence did a great job managing the situation with spot treatments in the house and preventing termites by treating the perimeter of the house. He answered our texts for follow ups promptly and came to address additional work with care. He was also patient with our questions, which I appreciated. Highly recommend! read more

Terrance was extremely thorough and dealt with my termite infestation quickly and gave me an excellent price. He was very kind and professional. I highly recommend! read more

Terrence was a big help! Very friendly and helpful towards the situation and explained what termites I had. With a reasonable price as well. Highly recommend! read more

Very pleased with the work that Terrence did. The price was reasonable and we liked the warranty.

Highly recommended. Our house showed signs of recent termite activity. Terrance responded promptly when contacted, asked for pictures, and scheduled an inspection within two weeks. When he arrived, he identified dry wood rather than subterranean termites, explained why he thought so, and offered treatment options (tenting or local treatment), recommending local treatment since it appeared to be a recent and localized infestation. After inspecting for activity elsewhere and finding none, he injected Termidor in the active area and sealed up the injection holes afterward. All in under 2 hours. read more

Terrance is an honorable and honest businessman and I'm delighted to write this review for him. When I first called him, he stopped what he was doing to talk to me, listen to my concerns and make an appointment to come to my house to look at the problem. We made an appointment for two weeks out. Fast forward to appointment day and I missed it. My phone was hacked and I lost all of my calendar appointments. Although I was home when he came, I was in the shower and had no idea he had visited me until I saw the security system notice the next day. I felt horrible. Explaining the problem, we made a second appointment. I confirmed the day before and he showed up on time. He wore a mask, was friendly and completely professional. He looked at the trouble spots and told me how to help my house without using him or costing me a fortune. Say what? Amazing!! Thank you for being a gold standard business! I will recommend you a thousand times over. read more

I was having a back stairwell rebult when the contractor came across some active termites. I was able to get a fast appointment with Terrence. After inspecting the construction site with the contractor and discussing where the termites were found, it was determined that no treatment would be necessary by Priceless Termite Control. Terrence is great and there was no charge for the house visit! read more

I worked with all of 9 minutes with Terrence, and he deserves every star of this 5-star rating. He was honest, prompt, courteous, immediately diagnosed my problem and recommended a solution. His solution was to find a contractor for repair work, not extermination services that he could provide. I was impressed that he didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary work or misrepresent the problem. I'll be contacting Terrence first if I run into another termite issue. read more

If there's one word to describe Terrence's business, it's "reliable". When you call, he picks up; when he says he will show up at a certain time, he will be 15 minutes early. Terrence sets great expectations and from the moment he came to inspect the house I was so relieved. Our crawl space is really low but he still crawled in to look for subterranean termite activity and evidence of dry rot. A week later he came and did the treatment, and promptly repaired the areas with dry rot the next business day. Since the weather forecast said it would rain this week, Terrence actually put in the extra time to wrap up the work earlier in the week too. I really enjoyed working with and learning from Terrence and will definitely be calling him for help in the future if we have any problems (though I hope we don't have more problems at the house for the years to come!). read more

Super knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, scheduled quickly. Highly recommend and will use again.

The numerous five star reviews are legit! We had an excellent experience with Terrence in inspecting, then tenting and fumigating our home for dry wood termites. He was knowledgeable, professional, patient, kind, and responsive throughout the entire process, and always happy to answer any questions we had. His pricing is also *extremely* reasonable. For tenting and fumigation he contracts out the work, but does all smaller treatments himself, I believe. In a stressful situation he put us completely at ease and I appreciated that there was no hard sell. Thank you, Terrence! read more

Terrence was great. He communicated quickly from my Yelp request and came over to inspect our potential termite issue. He determined quickly that we didn't have termites and gave us some advice on how to handle the issue. He didn't accept a tip that we offered for his time and I appreciated his help and advice. I highly recommend his services. read more

I reached out to Terrence after reading many of his great reviews. I was in need of a termite report (WDO) for a VA refinance and after past experience I knew finding a conscientious and rational inspector was very important. Thank you to all that have reviewed Terrence in the past and helping me find an honest and reasonable company. Communication was great, turn-around time was excellent, and services were very reasonable. As anyone that has gone through a Wood Destroying Organism inspection knows, no house is perfect and there are always findings. Terrance explained the findings and offered attainable solutions to remedy and then followed up within one day. Highly recommend!! read more

Finding and picking someone for home repairs is always stressful. Often, they'll scope out more work than truly necessary. Terence was organized, transparent, and honest. We've had the unfortunate pleasure of having him come out twice to treat different parts of the house. Both times, Terence and his partner made dealing with termites easy. read more

We just purchased a new home and the previous owner's inspections called out a bunch of dry rot and a suspiciously high bill to repair it all. Decided to get a second opinion and found Priceless Termite Control. Like other reviews have said, Terrence personally runs the show which I appreciate. Communication with him is direct over phone or text (he also responds to voicemails quickly when he's on the road/on a job). I was a little hesitant about the inspection fee for him to come out but as a new homeowner I'm quickly learning not to trust anyone offering "free inspections" as it usually leads to dishonest estimates and lots of upselling. The day of inspection, Terrence came out and spent a good 30 minutes doing a thorough review of the exterior and crawl space. Right off the bat, Terrence was so much more helpful than the previous inspection giving me more context on what needed fixing (and what didn't) and why. He's super down to earth and spent the extra time to get me an honest education and opinion. His work estimate was clear, straightforward, and came in below the cost of the previous inspector who somehow felt the need to charge me thousands for scaffolding to do work that could obviously be done with a ladder. Onto the work itself, Terrence spent 3 days personally replacing the siding and beams on the deck that needed replacing. In my opinion he went above and beyond, replacing the most damaged piece of siding with a pressure treated board that was more resistant to damage and reinforcing the beams he replaced on our deck with screws to hold them in place instead of the nails that were there before. Terrence is a stand up guy that does quality work at a great price and clearly takes pride in running his business - a true rarity as I'm quickly finding. I will 100% be calling Terrence for all future needs and highly recommend him over some of the bigger companies I've been dealing with. Thanks Terrence! read more

See all

Terrence did a great job treating our home for termites and for a good price. He was very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help with treatments! read more

Terrence is GREAT! Not only did he give us an estimate at a reasonable rate. He also came back, did exactly what he said when he said he was going to, and told us Not only did he give us an estimate at a reasonable rate. He also came back, did exactly what he said when he said he was going to, and told us exactly specifically how and when to follow up, both with him and the floor repair work, for maximum future protection. read more

In the time I got to know him, Terrence comes across as very sincere, professional, meticulous and polite. First day he identified the termite type we had and gave a quote. 2 days later he was able to come and treat it. I recommend reaching out to him. read more

As you might imagine, I wasn't excited to contact a termite company, but wow was this a pleasant experience in the end. Terrence was FANTASTIC. Easy communication. Super nice. Patient both in looking at every little area that had caught my eye and in explaining his work. During the initial inspection, he noticed an area that looked like it had been treated in the past and said he could treat it out of an abundance of caution, but there was no hard sales pitch. Later, he spotted an area he recommended treating (again, no hard sales pitch). We scheduled a follow-up for not long after. He showed up a few minutes early and did the remediation, again looking patiently at a few areas I wanted to flag for peace of mind. Will absolutely be hiring Priceless Termite Control to do periodic inspections. read more

Highly recommend Priceless Termite Control. There's a reason for of the five stars!!! Terrence is a definitely a friendly factual individual. I felt I was getting the truth based on what he said, other bids, and research. I absolutely trusted him to work in my home and would recommend him and his termite control to everyone. read more
