The number
What moves the price of a tenting job
No prices on this page, because no two houses are alike. The written estimate is the number, and it comes before anything is scheduled.
What decides the price
Four things move a tenting estimate most.
The size of the house: floor area and number of stories
The roof and walls: how the tent can be set and sealed, and whether homes are attached
Access around the foundation: landscaping, fences, tight side yards
How many nights the treatment needs
What the estimate includes, and what it doesn't
A written estimate lists the inspection findings, the area to be tented, the prep we expect from you and the warranty terms. It leaves out lodging, kennel costs and repair of existing damage, which is a separate quote.
What happens at the visit
An inspector looks at the attic access, eaves, garage and outside walls, and the subarea where there is one. Whether the inspection fee is credited toward a tent job is written on your estimate.
When you get the number
In writing, after the inspection and before anything is scheduled. We don't quote a house we haven't seen.
How and when you pay
The written agreement says when each payment is due and how it can be made. Read it before you sign.
If the job changes
If the tent area or the scope changes after the inspection, the change is priced and agreed in writing before work goes ahead.
More on cost
How much does tenting cost?
It depends on the size of the house, the roof and walls, access around the foundation and the nights the treatment needs. After the inspection you get a written estimate. We don't quote a house we haven't seen.
Where do we stay, and who pays?
The household arranges and pays for its own lodging. We give you the number of nights to plan for as early as the inspection, so you can book. Ask us for a pet boarding list if you need one.
What does the warranty cover?
Every tent job comes with a written warranty. Its length, what it covers and what voids it are on the page we give you before you sign. Read it first and ask about anything it does not say.
