"I have tried several companies in the past, but I was not entirely satisfied. However, my friend recommended forterra, and in particular, Drake. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything and performed his duties with great care and professionalism. He advised me to wait three weeks for the results, but within just one week, I could already see a remarkable improvement. Thank you very much, Drake, and to the entire team."

Termite protection that keeps your schedule.
Dallas and Grapevine require termite protection on new construction, and inspectors want the certificate before occupancy. Other cities vary, so check your local inspector. Cheap insurance regardless, and the right treatment depends on your construction stage.
Option 1
01
Soil pre-pour
Before the slab, soil treatment under the pad.
The classic pre-treatment, horizontal soil treatment across the pad after plumbing rough-in and before concrete, with verticals at the perimeter and every penetration. Scheduled to your pour calendar, never holding a pour with a day's notice.
Option 2
02
Wood-frame treatment
After the pour, the frame itself gets treated.
Once the slab is down, borate wood treatments such as Bora-Care or Totality applied to the frame protect the structure itself, and satisfy most jurisdictions as a pre-construction treatment.
Option 3
03
Perimeter after grade
After final grade, Sentricon closes the envelope.
Past framing, a final-grade perimeter program with Sentricon still qualifies in most jurisdictions and hands the buyer active colony-elimination protection from day one, a genuine sales-office line. Documentation is delivered for every address either way.
The paperwork, itemized
What ends up in the file.
Municipal inspectors and closing packages want termite protection documented, not promised. Every treated address generates the same four pieces of paper, on time.
01
Treatment certificate
The document the final inspection wants to see, with the address, the treatment method, the date and the license behind it. Issued per address as each treatment completes, reissued instantly when a closing file loses one.
Goes to Municipal inspector · closing package
02
Product and rate record
What was applied, at what rate, over what area, tied to the pour date. The compliance detail that separates a certificate that holds up from a letterhead promise.
Goes to Builder's file · warranty basis
03
Treated-area record
The footprint documentation, pad coverage, vertical treatment at penetrations and perimeter, and the final-grade completion. Phase builders get it per address, batched to match the pour calendar.
Goes to Builder's file · phase records
04
Warranty and transfer terms
What the homeowner steps into at closing, the retreatment terms, and on Sentricon addresses the active protection program that transfers with the house, a line the sales office can actually use.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Not everywhere. Some cities require it, Dallas and Grapevine among them, and their inspectors expect the certificate before final; others do not, so check with your local building code inspector. We recommend it in every case regardless, against the cost of the house it is very cheap insurance, and buyers increasingly ask for the paperwork.
There are options at every stage, and most jurisdictions accept any of them as the pre-construction treatment. Before the slab, soil treatment goes under the pad. After the slab, the wood frame can be treated with borate products like Bora-Care or Totality. After final grade, a Sentricon perimeter program closes the envelope. Which one fits depends on where your build stands when you call.
Yes, that is the job. Phase scheduling against your pour calendar, one contact for your supers, per-address certificates delivered as each home closes, and quoting per phase so your budget reads clean. Weather-moved pours happen; a text moves the treatment with them.
Sentricon is never required, but it qualifies as a pre-construction treatment in most jurisdictions and it is the premium option, active colony-elimination protection working from day one, transferable to the buyer at closing. Some builders standardize it, others offer it as an upgrade; we install and document either way.
Quoted per address from the slab plans, or per phase for production work, in writing before the first treatment. Pricing scales with slab footprint and penetration count, and phase pricing rewards volume. Send the plans and the quote comes back with numbers, not a meeting request.
