One morning I heard loud scratching noises coming from the attic and I immediately suspected it was a raccoon. I called North Star Pest Control and Shakeel promptly responded to my call. He installed a one-way door in the area of the roof (aluminum siding) damaged by the raccoon. Within a couple of days, the raccoon was gone. Shakeel have helped with many different pest issues over the past 8 years (squirrels, wasps, raccoons). Each time he or one of his sons responded promptly, were professional, friendly, efficient and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend North Star Pest Control to anyone dealing with pest issues.

Phong, Van and Teo did a great job. I found Brick Aid Masonry on Home Star and, after reading the reviews, I contacted Phong for an estimate. The work to be done was: grinding out joints (to remove a silicon for masonry product that we used ourselves to cover the missing mortar), tuck pointing and replacing approximately 30 bricks. Phong responded quickly, provided relevant information, a reasonable quote and a timeline. The team (Phong, Van and Teo) arrived early in the morning. They were professional, friendly and very hard-working. As bricks similar with the existing ones were no longer manufactured, Phong had to purchase the closest similar ones. The new bricks had a different size and they had to be cut. This took unexpected time and additional work to complete the project. In addition, removing the silicon product that we used to cover the missing mortar / joints was another challenging and time consuming job.Phong, Van and Teo worked continuously and diligently throughout the day until late evening. The team did an excellent job and I would highly recommend BAM and the team to anyone. Thank you again Phong, Van and Teo!

I called North Star late in the night after I heard footsteps and scratching from critters in the attic. Shakeel responded promptly and arrived in front of my house shortly after 6am. It was a freezing November morning. He quickly climbed on to the roof and noticed that the cover of one of the plastic vents was removed. He took pictures, answered my questions and explained the next steps very professionally. He installed a one-way door on top of the open vent and advised that that the raccoon will exit the attic using that door. Sajeel, another employee of the firm, came at a later time to check the door and for signs of raccoon activity. A few days later, the noises had stopped and the raccoon was gone. Shakeel and Sajeel solved many different pest issues that I have had over the past 6 years (squirrels, hornet nests, raccoons) and each time they have done an excellent job. Thank you!

I am very grateful to North Star for removing the squirrels from my attic. I moved to my current house 5 years ago. Commencing the first night I heard continuous noise and scratches coming from the attic which I initially ignored. However, the noise was so terrible than I could only sleep with the bathroom fan on. I contacted Shakeel who was friendly and very professional. He spent a couple of hours installing the one-way door on the roof and at a later time the wire mesh to cover the area. He did an excellent job and the wire mesh is still on 5 years later. I have called North star team every year to inspect my roof and ensure that any suspicious noises are not generated by animals trying to get in the attic (the squirrels and racoons love this area because of the nearby trees and bushes). I highly appreciated their honest opinion that no additional work was required. Thank you Shakeel and Sajeel for the excellent work!
