Attic Construction

I am pleased to give positive feedback about my attic inspection. Jake came to my home on time and was very nice, he's dog friendly too. Following the inspection, he gave a favorable report. There was nothing to clean with no signs of pests. I had a coupon for an attic cleaning. Jake could have easily gotten his vacuum and 'worked' the deal. I really APPRECIATE Jake for being so honest. I have anxiety about 'estimates' and 'inspections', very rarely can you find companies who allow their technicians to be honest and not overcharge the consumer. In this case, Jake said there was nothing to do, therefore no charge. I wish there were more companies who treat people fairly.

I am so grateful that I hired Attic Construction and that my contact was David. I had heard noises in my attic that freaked me out around Halloween. A few years back I had hired another service who had only done the minimum. As with anything in life, I wanted to get to the root cause and not just keep putting bandages on symptoms like leaving traps and poison. When I first met David, I had immediately felt comfortable with him, his knowledge and sincerity, so I quickly made my decision to go forward with this big job, David put me at ease as much as possible talking about rats ha. I saw pics of the nests that had been living in the partial insulation in my attic along with their 'belongings'. Having heard from others that rats can keep coming back to their 'smells', again, sooo very grateful that I took care of this before the cold weather change we are expecting and just for health purposes! I have already noticed a big difference in the pleasant temperature in my home with all the new insulation, as well as the cleanliness of removing all the bad garbage that no one should have in their home. David and his crew took care of everything and were so pleasant and great to work with... perhaps the best workers I have ever hired. Knowing that this is behind me now and every possible spot sealed has brought me much comfort... also that they have a one year guarantee... worth every dollar! GREAT job guys!!

We saw their ad in one of the San Diego magazines few weeks ago. Made a call to get an inspection done in our attic to see what needs to be done since we were hearing some noises ever now and then. Got the appointment scheduled for Sunday morning. 2 gentlemen showed up ON TIME, unlike most of the other companies. They did a complete inspection of attic & went through everything with my husband and reported no issue. This FREE inspection took them at least 45 minutes. We were so happy with their integrity, honesty and professionalism and will definitely call them back or recommend them to our neighbors if asked.

couldn't get past the inspection.....$99 is a gimmick there quote was over $2,500 for a 5' high basment that was neatly stored boxes
I had laid down a rat trap and cought a mouse so there were droppings scattered around
way over priced

did it myself in a little over 2hours and i know its now clean!! i'm a petite 56yr old woman

Overall, Jesse & his crew did a very fine job. I thank them. Their work ethics are also commendable (on time, diligent, respectful). However, the ad I responded to was VERY misleading re: that $99 special for ""one area"" of work. I was not born yesterday so I knew better, but please remove that ad. I also got a retired military & senior ""discount"" after a ""that call"" to the boss, only to find out later that a friend of mine paid almost $1,000 less last year to do the same sized house. Guess materials & labor have gone up tremendously?

After their hard day's work (and I was called upon to view each step, greatly appreciated along the way) my walk around detected the attic light's cord fell apart (not replaced for me to reach) & screen not put up under garage roof turbine as promised. The crew was quick to correct these discrepancies. Thank goodness & they maintained a kind, concerned attitude.

I do recommend Attic Construction, but just like with any business in this day & time, the buyer needs to stay on top of things.

I really didnt know what to expect when I called Attic Construction, but I am glad that I did. Our upstairs bedrooms were always much warmer than anywhere else in the house, despite having central AC. Adam came to the house and took his time explaining why I was having these issues (lack of insulation in much of the attic) and their process for fixing it. A few hours later, I had a perfectly cleaned out attic that looked brand new, followed by massive amounts of new blown-in insulation. What a difference! I am so happy I called AC and even happier it was Adam who came out to my house. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

First off, I'm rating these guys 3 stars because it sounds like they would have done a really good job had I hired them, but here's why I didn't.

Short Answer: Deceptive advertising sets unrealistic pricing expectations far from reality.

Long Answer:
I saw an ad in the Peninsula Beacon advertising $98 for rodent waste removal (normally $199). Sounded great. I go on their website and they also remove old insulation and put in new stuff if you want. Perfect.

I don't have any insulation and my tiny house only has 650 square feet of attic space. There's an old blanket up there and some wood scraps, maybe enough to fill a street-side garbage bin. How much could it possibly be to clean it out completely? Remember, it was $98 for rodent waste removal so maybe another couple hundred bucks for a complete job right? 300? $400? Wrong. Think tip-of-the-iceberg wrong.

So David comes out to do the estimate (super nice guy, very knowledgeable) and walked me around the house explaining everything they would be looking for. He got into the attic, took some measurements, and then sat down and walked me through the whole job. They will come out, they have a 14HP gas powered vacuum, they use large contractor bags that they fill and seal before bringing them through the house, they decontaminate/sterilize the attic with a chlorine based solution, they seal up every hole and crack to prevent future rodent entry... Sounds great! I'm also interested in having insulation put in after its been cleaned so he explains how that's done and adds that in to his estimate. Now for the quote....

$3,450

What? Really? How did we get here from $98?

Ok, so forget the new insulation and forget the decontamination. How much just to take out the wood scraps, clean the rodent waste, and vacuum up all the other dust?

$2,350 but if we do it today $1,950.

Ok so it's $98 to remove the rodent waste... and then it's another $1,852 to do some heavier vacuuming and remove some wood scraps? How does that make any logical sense??

He explains it's 3 guys, equipment, their time, etc. I get it, sounds like they do a really good job. But why advertise something for $98 and expect people to be OK when you quote them something 20 times or 30 times higher?

I never would have called them if I knew it was going to be that much. Now they wasted my time and at least an hour of their own time because their advertisement set expectations that were so far from reality.

If you don't want to do this kind of work yourself I recommend calling them, I'm convinced they will do a great job. Just set your expectations appropriately and be prepared to spend north of $2,000 for their services. For me, I'll do it myself when the weather cools.

It has now been exactly three weeks since my attic restoration and I have not had to use my a/c once. The temperature in my home is so pleasant, even on those hot days we had last week. This project was worth every penny!

Adam and his crew were very professional, friendly, and efficient in cleaning out the attic. Very straightforward in their process and easy to understand. Also the price for their services was very reasonable. After their work was done, they were able to quickly clean and even vacuum the place to ensure no other dust or debris is left behind. I would highly consider their services again!
