Why This Company Earned Recognition
A focused specialty backed by matched public records.
Public-source recognition, with credential limits disclosed.
Three findings support inclusion: a directly observed Google rating above 4.3, an A+ BBB grade and a BBB complaint record showing zero complaints. The company's narrow focus on bed-bug work also gives consumers a clear service category to compare.
Google's rating distribution is strongly positive, while still including two one-star ratings. Ratings summarize past feedback and do not guarantee any individual result.
Gold is awarded because reputation eligibility is met while licensing and insurance remain independently unverified. No Platinum award or NHA numerical score is assigned. NHA has not interviewed the company or inspected its work.
