What is the cost of termite damage?
The short answer is, much more than most homeowners expect to pay.
Termites cause more damage to homes in the United States than tornadoes, fires and earthquakes combined – over $5 billion annually. Costs due to termite damage to individual homes differ based on the degree and the length of infestation. In general, however, costs to repair termite damage can range from the low thousands and in to the tens of thousands of dollars.
Unfortunately, most homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover the repair costs of damage caused by termites.
Homes of all construction types are vulnerable to termites.
Termites are capable of damaging the structure of a home – including posts, floor and ceiling supports and wall studs – as well as non-structural elements including drywall, paneling, carpet, even furniture. Extensive infestations, when left untreated, can cause serious damage, including floor and roof collapse. Termites are hard to detect and always active, so most homeowners don’t know they have a termite problem until the damage is done.
The inconvenience of costly termite repairs.
Termite damage is not only costly, it can also be a major inconvenience to fix due to the interruption of your regular lifestyle. Repairs can take weeks and sometimes even months depending on the severity of the damage. The best thing to do is to protect your home against termites before they become a major problem.

“We’ve never had termites, but that’s because we’ve had Termidor treatment from day ONE. Massey is reasonably priced. They also have the newest Termidor technology for installation and are extremely professional. Don’t pay twice the cost for treatment, or get conned into a monthly fee with lesser quality applications or high-pressure sales tactics. Trust Massey. They are also familiar with Florida’s 10-year reapplication requirements and won’t try to charge you to re-apply every 5 years.” -Becky V. |

“Great service. I called for an inspection and they quickly scheduled me. I purchased the Sentricon system and they installed it the next day. They are upfront with prices, no upcharges, no surprises and aren’t pushy trying to sell services. Their team is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.” -J. Dhonau
