What Our Customers Are Saying
Cindy C
“I use ABC Home Services for a home that I manage. We have lawn service every other week. They didn't blow off the back deck which isn't unusual. They flew through the backyard and I am looking at grass/weeds over 1 ft tall that they missed. I think it's because the branches were low on the trees. They still could have used the weed eater on that section and chose not to. They are not always detail oriented.Some weeks are better than others. I use the irrigation department. I really like Brandon. I also have weed service. Today a new guy that I've never met came to treat the weeds because I wasn't satisfied with the results seeing that we have been having them treated for over 1 year. He explained to me that it is not an easy or a fast fix. He was very detailed and I have a much better understanding now. His name is John and I like him a lot ABC is very responsive. 'm very happy with ABC as a whole.”

“UPDATE: I spoke with the GM, Manny. He was understanding, talked it out with me, and we have it figured out. I appreciate the professionalism with ABC, understanding nature, and that the product works well. When speaking with my husband, we will continue using ABC for these reasons. We genuinely appreciate that the business cares about its customers. We have been using ABC for pest for a while now. The folks who work there are wonderful and professional. We have the mosquito service, and after it rained quite a bit (almost right after the service), it seemed to reduce the prevention of the product. I was surprised that there was an additional charge to come and respray- but upon speaking with other companies, this is a normal industry practice. The product does work well, though.”
