Re: Termite inspectors in Houston area.
I'm in the Dallas area, but I can let you know that many PC / Termite companies do offer free termite inspections.

The catch is none will write a WDI report if needed to secure a loan for free. That comes at a cost of 75.-150. average depending on the home.

Let the buyer call the termite man is what I always advise.

Superior Pest and Termite do excellent work.
Most termite inspections run around the $80 - $100 range.
I have used them many times.

Re: Termite inspectors in Houston area.
Matt,

When I was inspecting Houston for many years I worked with:

Termite Control, Inc.

Wiley D'Antonio is the owner.

He is located in Galena Park and covers "all" of Metro Houston and then some.

713-451-0900 is the business number.

Carol and Tanya used to run the back office.

He is very, very honest and good to work with.

If you call tell them that Nolan Kienitz referred you and they will do all they can to help out.

Wiley has been in the business in the Houston market longer than a lot of guys even want to think about. I learned a lot from him and count him as a good friend.
