Just recently we had a flood in our basement. Actually, water was backing up from a clogged gutter and coming through our front door, into a window well and the basement. Brian S was our first call. He pinpointed the problem (bad positioning ofdownspouts, poor drainage around the house) and fixed everything within a week. The basement has been dry since, even after heavy downpours. And he installed a dehumidifier in our old damp basement which has worked wonders. It has even cured sinus headaches which my husband used to get during damp seasons. But I first met Brian S when we had just bought this house and found it had a massive mouse population. We had hired another highly rated company who had contracted, for a premium fee, to come and place and remove traps whenever we wanted them to, and also to come up with an exclusion plan. They did neither, even refusing to come to remove full traps more than once a month! The traps they set would be filled in a day! We were referred to Brian S and never looked back. He sealed our entire house from mice, rats and flying squirrels, which incidentally the other company missed completely! The work was expertly, quickly and cleanly done. They had to dig out our entire foundation and they tenderly removed every plant and then replanted them. In the course of his work Brian S also found many problems which our home inspector had missed. He either repaired those problems or recommended someone who could, and even his referrals were wonderful. Whenever anything goes wrong in this house (and believe me, with an antique house, there are always problems) I call Brian S. He is the best!

An Amazing Bait & SwitchFrom the moment Brian stepped into our house, I knew he had more on his mind than just the exclusion process we signed up for. He spent about 2 hours going through the house to identify what rodent issues we had. I actually didn't tell him we had any issues outside of I heard some thumping in the attic (we had moved in 2 weeks prior). He took pictures and documented everything for us which took about a week to put together. That was just the initial inspection (Angie's deal).In addition to the exclusion related items, Brian went well beyond his scope of services to basically do another home inspection for us, identifying over a dozen things our home inspector missed, including a mold issue! Now I can't say I was excited to learn of these new issues having just moved in, but Brian went out of his way to explain everything in detail and give me comfort it was all manageable. He saw I was somewhat handy, so he walked me through the things I could take care of myself, and recommended service providers for the bigger things. He even went as far as taking care of a few things for me during the seal process.The seal itself took a couple weeks (5,500 sq ft colonial), including trapping / clearing the house. We had bats, flying squirrels, and mice; quite the party we were having in our basement and attic. Since the seal, we haven't had anything in the house even though Brian gladly responded to a couple false alarms over the winter.You might ask yourself why is this review titled bait and switch. I signed up for the Angie's deal because Thoroughspect was rated well and frankly it was very reasonable cost-wise to find out what I had going on in the attic. The bait it is you think you're getting an exterminator, and the switch is you get Brian. Without sharing all the other details, he genuinely cares about you and your family and is really there to be a partner not just a service provider. It's not everyday you're comfortable giving the keys to your house over to a stranger and his crew for a couple weeks with wife and young kids at home. As I've told Brian, I've never been happier working with someone on a real estate related project. Furthermore, he's still happy to take a call or respond to an email months after completing service. He's a wealth of knowledge and truly a great person, not just the next contractor looking to make a buck (although you should still plan on paying him as he's worth every dollar).

Exceptional, life-changing service well worth the investment!!!The Thoroughspect team worked 5 days, 9-5, as professionally as one could imagine to get the job done right. After which we had the comfort of knowing the work itself was warrantied against failures.Simply put Thoroughspect accomplished what we, and numerous other experts and professional concerns had previously deemed impossible: keeping our home rodent free. We've been in this house 25 years. For the first 22, with monthly visits from the professionals, despite glue boards, steel wool, and spray foam, we'd always had incursions, droppings, etc... in our basement, attic and crawl spaces. Mice, bats and even squirrels on one occasion.This will now be the third year running that we've had none. ZERO. The industrial strength snap-traps Thoroughspect left behind, have served more as a proof of concept than anything else. None of them - scattered from attic to basement - have been tripped. We're frankly astonished, and of course, entirely 100% satisfied.Brian and the team are consummate professionals, one of the few we've encountered that not only deliver exactly (if not more) than promised, but do so with first-rate customer engagement,dependability, and service.Count us among Throroughspect's customers who can truly say, "Living rodent free has changed our lives!"

I first met Brian about 4 years ago after moving into our Westchester home. We hired him to do an inspection of the home. The name of the company fits him because the inspection was in fact very thorough. We ended up hiring Brian and his team to do a complete house seal that took about 10 days as there was evidence in the house that there had been a rodent problem. The work they did was very impressive and the team was extremely professional. Four years later we are still rodent free! Nonetheless, I still have Brian come and inspect my home occasionally because he is one of the most knowledgeable, thorough, honest people I have ever met. From finding issues that could cause harm to my family (like mold in a corner) to simply pointing out that screws are missing from an electrical panel, he doesn't miss a thing. I can't recommend Brian and his team enough - they are simply the best. The service they have provided me over that last few years is above and beyond and I haven't met a single home service provider that even comes close in quality of service. If you have any issue in your home (rodents or not), look no further and call Brian.

We had mice for 11 years and more than a few pest control companies along with 3 different companies that said they could seal our house, but we still had mice.My wife simply dislikes mice and Im not fond of them either so when we read a review that said this company stopped the mice without using poison we started to do our research. We read more than 100 reviews that gave us some hope of stopping our mice and then called. My wife spoke to Brian who owns the company and decided to book an inspection.Brian spent some time at our home and a few days later sent us some pictures with annotations of what he saw as well as a quote. The quote was higher than the other companies but we were shown what materials would be used and realized that this is more of a home improvement company rather than a pest control service and decided to give it a go.I have waited almost 7 months to leave this review as I wanted to make sure what we were experiencing was real as far as no mice. Thoroughspect put out a lot of snap traps and I even put out a bunch myself and my wife and I are amazed we have not heard any noises, found any fecal, and nothing in the traps.We really wish we found Brian and Thoroughspect first as we wasted lots of time and money with other services and we lost a good deal of sleep as well.Its not cheap but it works and we highly recommend sealing a house by Thoroughspect if you want it to end.
