Brian and I had a bit of a sleepless night stressing over termites. We have minimal termite troubles but the pest control folks are making sure they get their piece of the pie. They didn’t even have a ladder that would reach the rafters and have assessed that the rafters need replacing. That requires the roof to be removed and all the damage that happens when they do that we would have to have a roofing specialist on site to fix. It is starting to look a little ridiculous. We are looking at options out of this. Of course the HOA doesn’t touch any of this.

Can you get a second opinion? It sounds fishy to me.

Call another termite company. If you find the rafters don’t need to be replaced, then threaten to sue if the first guys don’t modify. They cannot say things like that if they did not get to inspect them.

None of it sounds like much fun. Best of luck!

Holy rotten rafters… sounds like money diggers (inspectors, not the termites) need to be eliminated here… e/s pc
