“I had remodeled my kitchen on my own before. There was no way I was going to do that again! It was such a relief to Paula in charge. She dealt with all of the contractors and was so practical and helpful. It is great to have someone at your side.”

Customer Feedback:
Northwest Termite & Pest Control
“I wanted a company that didn’t use harsh chemicals, so I went to their website and read about what they do before calling. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough, and went out of their way. I’m happy to have found an environmentally friendly termite company.“
