Additional phones – (410) 957-2011, (866) 525-2847, (302) 628-3707. Additional contact name - Dottie Christeson, Sheila Anderson. Additional email - dottie@taylortermite.com, sheila@taylortermite.com.

"I WAS a paying customer of Taylor Pest Control and maintained a contract for pest services. The technician that serviced my property was the ONLY reason I stayed as long as I did with this company. I am no longer a customer because of the following: Office staff is incompetent, lies and has failed to respond to service requests. Brad Taylor whom I was told was the owner, would rather cover for them instead of provide the services that I paid for. My initial issue was that I signed a contract and it was subsequently lost by office staff and I did not receive service for months until I inquired about why my property has not been sprayed in about six months. Second, after never having a pest issue since purchasing this property in 2018, I had an ant infestation this past Friday and called to request service since I had a contract with them. I left a message at 9am after no one answered the business phone. I called back multiple times throughout the morning because with Easter being on Sunday and family coming to visit, I did not want to spend the holiday with ants crawling all around the house and guests. Finally, later in the day, I get a call from Taylor Pest and was advised that they were closed "since it was a Federal holiday" I was perplexed as I knew this was not true, and advised the caller of such. The story then changed and was then advised that the reason now was because they are a small company and like to treat their staff well. I guess Brad thinks it is more important to give a three day weekend for your employees than to provide services for your customers? I guess you rather your customers jump through phone prompts and leave messages rather than just advising that the business decided to close on a normal workday without notice. Anyway, after getting the runaround from them and the caller not being able to advise whether someone could come out or if I would be charged an additional fee "for emergency service", I decided to go out myself and purchase supplies to get rid of the ants. Yesterday (Monday) morning, I again called about the issue and was advised that Brad would contact me to schedule service. I did not hear him. Today, I called and after again explaining my issues with the office staff, I was eventually left a voicemail advising that I would not receive service until Thursday (a week later) which I felt was ridiculous given the circumstances. I called the office and the phone was answered by the owner (Brad Taylor) who after hearing that being a current and up to date customer with a service contract, I was not satisfied with the timeframe of waiting a week for emergency service. He decided that a contract doesn't matter and said they were no longer going to provide the service that I paid for and to look elsewhere for my pest control needs. Brad Taylor tried to state his reasoning was because of the way I treated his staff; however, if calmly providing feedback to the office staff of a company about their shortfalls and how a company that values their customer should have handled the situation is "wrong" then I don't want to continue service with this company and you probably don't want to be served by them either. I would like to add that I had not talked to the office staff between the time Brad left a voicemail advising that I was on the schedule for Thursday and my calling him to let him know my concern about the wait. So, his rational about the reason for terminating service was a lie. Now I know his office staff get their values."

We are the largest granite fabricator on the Delmarva Peninsula. We provide services for builders, kitchen & bath contractors, and retail. We offer the best customer service and do the highest quality work. Please visit our showrooom and choose your granite slabs.

"That Granite Place was hired to install Quartz countertops in a home I owned by the general contractor, Garrison Homes. The countertops were installed incorrectly (on an angle) as well as cut incorrectly. Despite countless emails and phone calls, they refused to do the repair since they were paid in full. The operations manager, Mark Widen, said his hands are tied and that they wont honor the repair or warranty. I wouldn't EVER deal with this company again nor would I recommend them to my worst enemy!!!"

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Millsboro, DE

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
