Gen-Tech Termite Control, Inc

Dan came promptly for our termite inspection. He was friendly, explained the process, and gave very helpful and practical advice. I appreciated the description of problems that were important and needed prompt action vs others that could be delayed (since we can use the money for other renovation work). Thanks Dan and Gen-​Tech!

I’ve worked with many inspectors as a home buyer, and this was my first experience with Steve at Gen-​tech. I am happy to say that I Steve will be my go-​to guy from now on. He is incredibly knowledgeable and meticulous, and caught big-​ticket items that other inspectors missed (e.g. foundation damage). He’s also just honest, prompt and easy to work with – I couldn’t have asked for a better inspector.

What a sigh of relief! I spoke to Chris Bowler on the phone after discovering that the first pest report on the house I was buying was totally botched. John McDonald did a pest report and found 0 dollars worth of damage… yeah right! Any house that has been standing for 50 years must have something! So I Unilocaled him and found out I am not the first person he has mislead.
So the Good News!!! I called Chris and he was super informative over the phone and gave me some key details to look for on the house myself before I decided if I needed a new report. Sure enough, he was right. I called him back and they had someone out in 24hrs. Stephen Richardson did the inspection. He was kind, thorough, and patient. He went through the house with meticulous detail and discovered around $ 9,000 worth of dry rot and a bit of termite damage.
Thank you so much guys! Now we have negotiated to get the roof rot replacement cost off the cost of the house and the sellers even agreed that this was a much more accurate report!
Thank you for your professionalism and super fast timing just when we needed it!

These guys were fantastic. I am doing a deck remodel that exposed termite damage behind our stucco. On a recommendation from a house inspector, I called Gen-​Tech to come out and see if termites were active or we were just seeing pre-​existing damage. They have a free assessment and a $ 275 full inspection — I wanted to do the $ 275 option so I was at least paying them something and decreasing the risk of a self-​serving assessment.
Dan came out and did a fantastic job. He examined all the construction areas as well as in our crawl space. He determined heavy damage (obvious), but no live colony. He worked with the contractor on what could be done to keep them out of the areas already affected. He even assessed some non-​termite issues (mold/​dry rot from some leaky gutters — gave a recommendation for an honest roof/​gutter company). THEN… he didn’t charge me anything. He didn’t need to do the «big» inspection to be able to assess the situation, so didn’t charge. Honest and professional — doesn’t get any better than that.

Steve was highly recommended to us by David Venable (HomeWise Inspections). Steve was very easy to work with, on time, had great communication, and his reports were very thorough. I highly recommend him.

Can you say rip off
His estimate of repair was $ 20,000
a real contractor did the work with
Permits for $ 2,000
Listing Agents Do Not Let This Inspector
On the grounds he will over price every item. His reports kill deals only because of prices should be put on Rip Off Report.

Steve was just great — from inspection to treatment. He follows through with documentation and gets the job done right. I highly recommend Steve and GenTech!

I was in a bind to complete a termite inspection in order to close escrow on a new home. From the front office (Natalie) to the field inspector (Steve) these folk were friendly, understanding, professional and far more helpful than I was expecting. They worked around their schedule to find a time that work for me and got the job done.
I highly recommend them if you are looking for professionals to complete a termite inspection.
