Bottom 'wood' is not real wood, but rather mold infested recycled molding. didn't removed dry rotted board above it, nor behind it.
Weyl E.

I hired South Bay Termite to fix dry rot, water damage, and pest damage. They inspected the property I purchased and I hired them to fix all of the damage their inspector found and recommended fixing. Of the 10 projects I paid them for, they only did one correctly. They used the least expensive material they could find without considering whether it was the right material for the job. Not only did they do an absolutely terrible job, but they killed several of my plants, broke my irrigation system, and 'stole' material from us to use in the project instead of buying material. There was water damage in our sun room, which is an enclosed deck. They replaced the damaged floor with unfinished plywood, exposing plywood to the elements which will soon rot. They replaced dry-rotted redwood shiplap with a incorrectly sized fungus laden used fiberboard instead of wood. Being the wrong size, the wrong material, and stained will fungus, I removed it only to find that they hid instead of fixed the 2X4 they attached it to, which was sitting upon a 2x4 which they hadn't bothered screwing in to place. They also left a rotted board above it, and to the side. There were two spots of dry rot near our basement door. They "fixed" one by cutting it out and replacing it with mis-matched wood. Only fixing one spot and making it look horrible, I requested that they do it correctly. They caulked in a 1x3 unfinished pine (indoor wood). When I removed it today to put in correct outdoor materials I discovered they had hidden the dry rot they were supposed to fix; in other words, they hid the issue and didn't actually fix anything. They didn't actually didn't need to replace the door frame; they did it to hide dry rot. They replaced the correct wood with bad wood. I hired them to replace my deck which had a lot of rot. They used the lowest quality wood possible. Literally, every single ballister piece is defective. They used old material, reusing the joist hangers from the 25 or so year old deck they tore down. They also didn't use joist hangers on all the joists (because that would have meant spending money buying them). They were like "we're done", and had to be told to now retrofit with wood connectors. I need to redo it because the stairs are supported with 2 nails and the piers are not plumb. In terms of "stealing', they not only re-used old material though I paid for a new deck, they took indoor molding from my back room and used it for the outdoor door frame instead of buying the correct wood*, and they literally took a strong tie off a pier to put it on another pier instead of just buying a new one (they cost about $2). And, when they took the strong tie off the good pier, they didn't put the bolt back in. They used old, dry, rotten caulk and dried out wood filler. I purchased caulk so they would at least use the good stuff. They used one and the other one "walked away" Because the work was so bad, their boss came out to look at the work. The boss found no issues with anything -- basically, taking no responsibility for their workers shoddy work. Just stared blankly into space. He pretended not to notice that not all the work was done. The worker actually admitted his work was "ca ca" in front of his boss, but the boss man just stared ahead. Lame. In addition to the shoddy work, the worker completely missed fixing a window frame - which does happen. After they were paid, I simply asked them to fix three things: the window frame they missed, replace one fungus infested wood they put in my sunroom, and to tell me what chemical to add to the plywood they put outside so i could prevent it from rotting. They ghosted me. Since they refused to fix the fungus infested "fix", i did it myself, only to find they hid rot instead of fixing it. Now we're redoing their work all of their work, and doing it right. As we're doing it, we keep discovering more stuff they hid instead of fixing. Thankfully, I guess, their fix was dangerous looking and ugly. If it hadn't been, i wouldn't have discovered that they hadn't actually repaired anything, and the pest infestation / dry rot would have continued to worsen. On a positive note, they did such a horrible job that I have now learned how to identify dry rot, bug damage, wood quality issues, etc. so my skill set has improved, and i was able to fix the problems i didn't know they hadn't fixed before things worsened. I uploaded some photos. They are of work that was allegedly completed. These aren't "before" pictures. This is what my house looked like "after". Took most today as I started redoing everything they had messed up. As they inspected the property and I hired them to fix all of the damage their inspector found and recommended fixing, they have no excuse for the insect and water damage that remained after they 'finished' "fixing" my house. *update: I wondered why they had added this molding, so I removed it to discover they had damaged my house. They sawed right thru my basement wall

Wildlife technician David came to our house and performed an assessment to determine possible entry points that needed to be repaired. I completed assessments with multiple companies and decided on Critter Control because David was so kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough with his work (kudos to you David!) He was happy to answer all my questions and it really put me and my family at ease. His assessment report was so detailed and we were quoted such a great price compared to other companies. Their process is straight forward, they are transparent with their costs and don't try to push additional services that you don't need. We finished our repairs a couple of weeks ago and we went from hearing movement in the attic every single day to pure silence. As someone with a severe phobia of rodents, thank you David and the front office team for your help! I can finally sleep peacefully at night. P.S. I hope we never have pest issues again but if we do, we 100% will be using Critter Control

They are more established and use automated email and phone answering systems. The assigned technician is very knowledgeable and patient in explaining what he found and although the quote seems high to us we feel it's worth it as long as our problems are resolved.

Because of their reliability on top of everything I mentioned, I trust them and would highly recommend them to anyone facing the "plague" of mice/rodent infestation. Shout out to our technician Eddie who keeps the rodents out for us ! That's another great thing: your home is assigned a technician who knows what's been going on, so this keeps everything streamlined and again trustworthy. Our neighborhood had a huge mice infestation two summers ago, because of construction. After DIY'ing it never stopped until Killroy came. We've signed up for their subscription services and haven't looked back since. They are worth every penny. If you want to take the mental load of keeping rodents out - don't hesitate and call Killroy!

We've been truly blessed to have Donald Thomas representing your company all these years. Donald has consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, expertise, and a genuine willingness to partner with us in effectively managing our pest control needs. We recently sold our home, and we're convinced that our long-term relationship with Killroy played a major role in avoiding the need to "tent" the house for termites. In fact, our home was one of the very few in the entire neighborhood that did not require termite treatment -- a direct result of the consistent, proactive service we received. Thank you again to the entire Killroy team, and especially to Donald Thomas, for your dedication and excellent work over the past two decades!

While others were positive I was seeing a wingless subterranean termite, they identified the insect as harmless. Since I am nonetheless nervous about termites, I decided to take advantage of their free inspections, which is typical of the industry I believe. And a good thing. About a week later and just a couple days before they were to come over, there was a big deposit of Frasse in our bedroom. I took a picture and posed the question to Gemini and Meta AI, which both identified it as from dry wood termites. When Robert came, he did the same. Robert explained the immigration details well. Kept in touch. Fumigator who put tent on also was communicative. Does not appear that I received a call in advance from person who took tent off. Would have liked that. Overall, I am happy with the results so far. Well, at least I feel like they did the work and I am hopeful that I will not see any termite Frasse in the next three years, which is their guarantee. I would use them again for a fumigation.

Then I found Prime Exterminators--and specifically, Robert--who was incredibly attentive, responsive, and communicative from the start. He went above and beyond to accommodate our tight schedule, even holding a spot for us and proactively checking to see if he could offer a more competitive quote. Although we ultimately went with another provider, if our first choice had fallen through, we would have signed with Robert in a heartbeat. As a first-time homeowner, this process felt overwhelming, but Robert's patience and clear explanations made a huge difference. If you're looking for termite treatment, I highly recommend giving Prime Exterminators a call!
