The customer service here was top notch across the board! Joe explained everything about the services to be performed. I signed up for the membership where they come out 2x a year to treat for a variety of pests. It was an extremely fair price! He was professional, thorough and so kind. Ricky was awesome! Explained how and where he would be addressing issues he found. He was so kind to my two dogs, which made the visit that much easier. He also made sure I knew what to expect. Both Joe and Ricky went above and beyond- even recommending local places to check out when they learned my family was new to the area. Can’t beat that. Overall, I am thrilled with my decision to work with Colonial. Thank you Joe & Ricky!!!!

Brycen came in on time. Professional and courteous. We discussed our situation and problem. Brycen acknowledged our concerns and began working on solving the problem. We were very satisfied his explanation of what was done to fix the issues. He provided evidence of the damage that was done by the mice and showed us how they were getting in. Then he showed us how he fixed all the problems. Even provided photos as evidence! Great work!
