San Miguel Termite Control & Contruction

Avoid this company. Use any other company but this one. The buyers of our house hired this company and the old man Frank was involved. He found a leak in the shower pan that no one else saw and said it would cost $ 7,000 to fix. He also found 20 other things no one else found and of course put a super huge estimate next to it. Talk about a conflict. In addition, he also talks down to people, comes late and generally is a complete a-​hole. I could go on and on. The bottom line is he is incompetent and should have whatever license he retains revoked.

AVOID THIS COMPANY…
I am a San Diego real estate broker who was working on a transaction in Concord, CA. I called this company to request a free estimate of work to be done on a house. I spoke to Frank and I told Frank that I had obtained a pest report from one of his competitors. I told him that I felt the estimate of fees by that company were high, and that I wanted him to give me an estimate of what he would charge for the work. I asked him if he would go to the house for free, and he agreed (I think he agree to do it for free because he thought as a Broker I would send him future business).
He went to the house and looked around. Then he emailed me an invoice for $ 235. I emailed him and reminded him that he told me there would be no charge for the estimate. He then emailed me back saying that he ‘gets paid to work.‘ I threated to file a complaint with the structural pest board and the Better Business Bureau. He quickly called me and said ‘Oh yeah, now I remember saying that I would do it for free.‘ He also used profanity in the phone call. Specifically he used the F-​word, and he was very unprofessional.
This man, and this company, are not professional. AVOID this company.

I recently needed some dry rot repaired on my townhouse. I carefully screened and vetted companies until I found three that seemed to be decent — both from online reviews and having all the proper licensing and insurance, etc showing on the state of CA CLB website.
So, of this select group of three, I had them each give me bids. San Miguel came in lowest AND could do it very quickly (which was required by my HOA). So I went with them.
I couldn’t be happier with San Miguel Termite & Construction. They did top notch work, from what I can tell, did it quickly, and under time and on budget. I tried to give the employee (Tony, I think) doing the work a tip at the end, but he said the company policy was not to accept tips. He said the owner, Frank, paid them well, and provided benefits, so there was no need for a tip. The fact that the company takes care of its employees also made me happy I had selected them for the job.
There was a small misunderstanding in the beginning (before work started), but the owner Frank called me and totally took care of the problem. I was very impressed with him. He cares about his customers and doing right by them.
I fully intend to use San Miguel for all future termite-​related issues I encounter in the future, and as well, will be highly recommending them to any acquaintances as appropriate.
Thanks Frank, Tony, and everyone else at San Miguel. I certainly appreciate the the excellent service you offer the community and the way you operate the company.
