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

I started to hear little pitter patter footsteps and gnawing sounds at 5 am, and on day 2 of this,…read moreI messaged Attic Crew. They sent someone the next morning for an assessment and got us scheduled right away! In the interim, they gave us recommendations to deter the rats, which worked. Carlos and his crew arrived on time and finished quickly. The price was reasonable (honestly, on the cheaper side yet the quality and professionalism was great!). There was an issue with a short circuit because a rat chewed through the insulation that we didn't notice until the weekend, but Carlos responded immediately and came over to fix the issue. We are so grateful to Carlos and the Attic Crew for helping us with rats in the home, helping us feel more confident about keeping them out for the foreseeable years, and for all of their professionalism, knowledge, and expertise! Would definitely recommend!

We worked with Jay, Andres(?), and Angelica. They really went above and beyond to help educate us…read moreabout the process of installing a moisture barrier and all the factors that go into successful rodent abatement. The communication was excellent, even on a holiday weekend I got called back within an hour of reaching out with questions, which I certainly did not expect! They arrived promptly for appointments and were thoughtful about avoiding tracking dirt into our home. They worked with us to customize their work to our coastal climate and were very transparent about exactly what materials they would be using (all top of the line, industral-grade!). I have pets and toddlers and they took my concerns about chemical disinfects seriously and offered several options to make sure I was comfortable with what was used in our home. They really seem to take pride in their work and enjoyed sharing before and after pictures to demonstrate all the improvements they made to our crawl space. I could not be happier with my choice to hire them, and plan to work with them again when I'm ready to replace my attic insulation.

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.
