What sets Center Termite a part from every other termite company is simple… they are different. From the time a client schedules an appointment they speak to a friendly, knowledable office administrator about the specific services the client calls about. The night before the appointment, Center Termite’s friendly staff will call the client and remind them of their appointment the following day. It doesn’t stop there, thirty minutes before Center Termite’s technician arrives to the property, the office staff calls the client and tells them that the technician is on their way. All Center Termite’s technicians are licensed to complete the services that they were scheduled for.

After services have been completed, Center Termite & Pest Control, Inc.’s Quality Assurance team follows up with the client to find out how everything went at the job. Center Termite takes all feedback very seriously and strives to answer any questions clients may have and pass on praise clients may give.
