"Great experience with Clifton. They came out and inspected my whole house and advised me that I did not have termites after all. Just a localized infestation in one area due to rain. They spot treated it and gave me a guarantee. Their team was honest and did excellent work."

"I wish they had a 10 rating. PLEASE read this before you choose a pest control company. I had a little problem with mice. Now the mice weren't in the attic or foundation, but one of my cute little kitties was bringing them in as gifts for me. Four within a matter of minutes. All alive!!!! I always pick 3 companies when I need something done. I had two come out and Pestcal was the third. Now, you have to understand, unfortunately, when many contractors come to the house and see a little old lady, they think they can take advantage of her. The first company that come out, and they have great ratings here, told me I had rats in the attic, that there were droppings every- where in my house and that the job would cost $6,000. The second company came out and I was told the attic was fine, no problems up there but I had several areas in the foundation that needed fixing. To do the whole job would be $2,500. Then came the third company, Pestcal. Norman was great!! He actually checked the attic, not just poked his head in....no problem up there. Then he checked the perimeter outside...couldn't find any issues out there either. He said there were a couple of areas that could use some attention, but nothing major. Maybe a couple of hundred dollars. FINALLY, AN HONEST COMPANY!!!! Their priority is doing the right thing for the customer. This is the kind of company you want to hire for any work you need done at your home. I'm not going to name the other companies for several reasons, but I don't think Yelp allows that. I just want to reassure you that this is a legitimate review. As you can see by the other reviews the customers are extremely happy with Pestcal."

"I highly recommend the courteous, professional and knowledgeable staff at Cleargate Pest Defense, including Gerald, Jorge, Nick and Andy. They were all very informative and helpful and always accommodating. I heard shredding noise one night above my stove and knew it was not right. Next morning I called maybe 5 pest control companies and Cleargate was the only one that would come that day. They discovered that a rat(s) had gotten into my attic and had eaten through my Range Hood vent ducting and it was a mess. But they calmed me down and set about capturing the rat and sealing up all possible places it could have gotten in. Over the next month they caught 3 rats total and came back every week, sometimes twice, to check traps until several weeks went by without any activity and they were confident my problem was solved. They then sanitized my attic and gave me a 1 year warranty, all for a very reasonable price. I will now only use Cleargate for any type of pest control and as I said above, I highly recommend them."

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies do not cover termite damage repairs because insurers consider these issues preventable through regular maintenance. Insurance often excludes damage from pests, rot, and gradual deterioration. Some companies offer specialized coverage options or riders, but you'll need to review your policy details carefully. Many homeowners opt for termite bonds or service contracts as alternative protection methods.
The timeline for termite damage repairs varies with project scope. Minor cosmetic fixes require only one to two days for completion. Most medium-sized repairs to non-structural elements take three to five days. Major structural repairs involving support beams or extensive flooring can extend to one to two weeks or longer. Factors affecting the timeline include damage extent, material availability, and whether additional issues like moisture problems need addressing simultaneously.
Purchasing a home with termite damage can be viable if the issues are clearly identified, properly assessed, and factored into negotiations. A comprehensive professional inspection is essential to determine repair costs and confirm termite elimination. Minor damage with appropriate price adjustments may represent a good value opportunity. However, extensive structural damage or sellers unwilling to address active infestations should raise serious concerns about the investment's wisdom.
Common termite damage indicators include hollow-sounding wood when tapped, maze-like patterns within wooden structures, buckling paint or wallpaper, sagging floors, and visible mud tubes along foundations or walls. You might also notice discarded wings near doors or windows, small pinholes in drywall, or crumbling wood. Professional inspection is recommended to confirm suspicions, as many termite damage signs resemble other issues like water damage or everyday wear.
