This year I've had to put more money in my house than I have in the 7 prior years put together combined. I had a bat issue in my attic that needed attending to, and based on my neighbor's recommendation, I gave Sweeney's a call. While they were here I inquired about how much it would cost to pest proof the trim of my house, if you live in the city of Cortland, you likely know how many woodchucks and skunks there are digging under things.
The quote I got was more than reasonable. So much so that I asked a few times if they were sure. I went with the quote because of this. Having never used Sweeney's before, I though this was a low ball and they'd try to push up the price, but I figured if they were starting that low, then I would still be happy with where we ended up. I was wrong.
When they came out to do the work it was clear I had been under quoted, the owner was here, asked me about how the quote went down, and I explained things, and I was expecting some negation to start then, and instead he said "I honor my quotes" he then said he'd not be making money on this project, and he would finish it, but it would be when he or his crew has time without a job lined up, and asked if I was okay with that. Of course I was.
They honored their word, and their quote, and that's not something you see every day. While the quality of their work is such that I don't think I'll need to worry about either of these problems again, I will never go with another pest service after this. The quality of work, and the quality of people can not be understated here, and I will recommend them unqualifiedly for as long as I can.
