Atticali

I interviewed 7 different companies to clean our attic and perform rodent control. Atticali was by far the best choice. Many were less expensive, but they lacked the professionalism that would lead us to choose anyone else.
Everyone who came to our home, beginning with the 1st inspector to the men who did the actual work to Isaac Who came by today to follow up and do the final inspection. . They were each very friendly and respectful. I highly recommend Atticali.

Thank you to Oscar and crew, they worked so hard to rodent proof our attic and crawlspace, getting rid of contaminated items, installing clean vapor barrier plastic on the floor of our crawlspace, rebuilding the hatch to the trapdoor so no rats could get back in, and filling two holes in our foundation with concrete. They even cleaned our garden shed and BBQ, which both had been contaminated by rats. Definitely recommend them!

Called Atticali and 2 other companies to give estimates for rat infestation. We could hear rats in our attic and crawl space and walls for a longggg while and it started to progress rapidly. Our house started to smell so bad (quickly) and rat droppings everywhere in the attic, garage, and crawlspace. We needed to get these companies out quickly to do the work as we were leaving on a trip in about 10 days. Atticali and their crew to the rescue!!
Atticali was able to immediately send Isacc out that same early evening I called them to assess. I was thrilled with their quick response, Isacc's knowledge, chill demeanor and even more thrilled when he sent the estimate later that night as promised. We got the other quotes and found Atticali to be a very fair price for all the work they were doing. We felt Atticali was the most prompt, communicative, complete in-house full service, was going to take care of all our needs, plus was able to fit in our service before we left on our trip.
We signed the contract, paid the deposit and got on the books for the following week. When we called them for the rat infestation, they advised asbestos to our ducts and the damage the rats did to our duct work, so we replaced that also.
First day they sent the asbestos crew to remove all duct work, they were prompt, efficient, safety protocols in place, nice and easy to work with.
The following day they sent our two man crew of Oscar (lead) and Cordova. What a two man crew these guys were!!! Oscar was so knowledgeable, had so many good suggestions, made me feel at ease and taken care of, and wow what freaking hard workers!! Both these guys were nothing but hard working professionals that knew their stuff. They took tons of pictures (99 of them) of the job to show us the progress of the job. They rat proofed our house on the outside working tirelessly to find the entry points to seal and found something like 20-30 entry points. They removed old insulation, sealed up all the holes/rodent proofed, installed all the new duct work (making sure to tie up all duct work well) sanitized (2x cause the smell was so bad) and sprayed all new insulation over two days working tirelessly each day. Oscar also walked the property to show me all the trees we needed to cut back to help keep the rats away from the house. He also let me know that I had a plumbing leaking in my kitchen under the house that we had no idea about. I think Oscar and Cordova did a great job and made us feel at ease the whole time in a nerve wracking situation.
Job comes with warranty of 3 years for the rats and they set traps to catch any rats that might be left, and will come back and check them like every two weeks. Ive asked how to be on maintenance with them after the 3 years because I don't want the rats back!
So far we are rat free and don't hear anything in the walls or attic anymore! The smell is gone. They are our rat hero's and I would 100% recommend Atticali!!

I recently installed solar and wanted to reduce gas use as much as possible, this includes not turning on my furnace this winter and using electric heaters. But obviously those do not work as well (thinking of getting mini-splits in the future) so it was constantly cold and uncomfortable in my house these past few months. I saw some ads on Facebook about attic insulation (Attic Cali was not the ad I saw) so I went on yelp and got some appointments for a few companies to come take a look at my home.

Brian came for the estimate and was very helpful. I even rescheduled due to rain and he was very understanding. Attic Cali was able to give me a really good price amongst the 3 options I had. I decided on blown-in cellulose after Brian's recommendation and some research I did on my own. Attic insulation was overall a couple thousand dollars more than I thought (not specific to Attic Cali but in general) but the pricing was still competitive.

And with all these storms in the new year (Jan of 2023) I had a lot of concerns about doing the job in the rain. But Brian assured me that they would keep everything dry and clean. Oscar and another team member came the day of installation and both did a fantastic job. They removed my old insulation, air sealed and sanitized the attic, rodent proof the attic and crawl space (luckily I didn't have any rodent infestation), and then blew in the new insulation. Job started at 10am and they finished at 4:30pm. They covered the floors in plastic and covered the working area with plastic from floor to ceiling. And as promised they did keep everything very clean and dry despite some heavy on and off rain.

Now my hallway thermostat reads 68 average whereas before it was reading 62. I felt the difference the next day, it was so much more comfortable. Those 6 degrees make a huge difference! The past few days I have not used my heaters as much, when I do it's now just in the mornings when I wake up and evenings before bed. I'm excited to feel the difference in the summer. I honestly didn't think new insulation would be as impactful during the winter since I'm not heating the house much, but it is.

From my before and after photos, you can see that I barely had any insulation to start with. I was told it might have been the same insulation as when the house was built many decades ago. Now there's a couple feet worth of insulation. Extremely satisfied with Attic Cali. Thank you!

One bonus: their online invoicing system accepts ApplePay, so if you have an AppleCard you can mitigate the 3% service fee for cards with Apple's 2% CB. No service fees if paid by check, other companies have the same 3% fee if paying with card. I paid with card because I don't have any checks and didn't want to drive in the rain to the bank for a cashier's check. Hope this helps anyone researching!

Issac is very knowledgeable for his work. He handle everything professionally. I would recommend Atticali for any of their services. Atticali did rodent proofing in attic and crawl space. Also did vapour barrier in our crawl space. They took before and after pictures. Atticali crew were so effective in their work and finished on time as promised. I have referred them to my other friends as well. Overall it was decent price, quality work which let to win-win situation.

I had rats in my attic and Atticali cleaned it up. It took a few attempts over many weeks to find all of the openings, but eventually they were all patched up and the problem was resolved.

We have a toddler and a newborn at home and recently learned critters were spending their nights in our attic. From inspection to action, everyone at Atticali helped to calm our concern and anxiety, answering all of our questions along the way.

Oscar and his associate showed up bright and early, with such great attitudes! They were both extremely personable and knowledgeable, walking me through what was expected for the day. They took great care, prepping the work area-- making sure to protect our walls, carpet, etc. At various points of the day, he shared updates on access points the team discovered, what repair work was completed, and what still needed to be done. Work started at 8am and finished up around 2:15pm.

In the end, Oscar shared before and after photos. He took the time to walk me through the extensive job. He even shared a great song recommendation!

Thank you, Oscar and associate!

Atticali did a great job at my family's rental property in San Jose. The old insulation was worn out and gross and the summer was cooking that house.

Brian was our estimator and offered the best solution for the money which was R38 pink fiberglass in our case. He also answered questions we had about spray foam and air ducts.

They came in at a fair price for the quality of work and quality of materials. They aren't the cheapest but also weren't anywhere close to the most expensive from the quotes we had.

The installers were great and did a great job of prepping and keeping everything clean. They worked very hard and got it all done in 1 day.

We will use them again when it's time for anything else.

This review is all about the lack of communication and respect for a clients time and nothing to do with services. I schedule an appointment and had a window of 3-5:00pm on a Wednesday. It was 4:45pm and I texted the number that sent me confirmation checking in to make sure everything was ok. Then I get a call at 5:00pm telling me that he was still in Gilroy and will be in traffic for at least an hour if not longer. No thought to call at any time before that letting me know they are in Gilroy and running behind? Needless to say I said nope we won't need your services if you can't even do the simplest call in advance to show courtesy. So, have no idea if they do good or bad work...didn't even get that far.

Removed attic insulation, sanitized attic, replaced insulation. Did a great job, highly recommended.
