Selling a home and dreading a tent over the roof? Jay Moceri of Value Termite & Construction joins us to unpack what really solves termite problems, how to spot dry rot before it spreads, and why localized treatments with real warranties can protect your house without wrecking your week or your budget. With 25 years in construction and wood remediation, Jay explains how to distinguish active infestations from old evidence, fix moisture sources first, and decide when fumigation is necessary versus when targeted treatments do the job.
We dig into practical prevention: painting and sealing to keep water out, catching roof leaks early, and choosing the right wood repairs to restore strength without overspending. Jay breaks down the hidden costs of tenting—from tile roof risk to relocation hassles—and lays out a step-by-step approach that starts with a thorough inspection and ends with long-term protection. His value-first philosophy is simple: treat every home like it’s his own and deliver pound-for-pound quality that earns referrals, not ad clicks.
You’ll also hear Jay’s unexpected journey from running a DJ company in South Florida to becoming a trusted contractor in California, and how his personal routine—roller skating at 62, yoga, stretching, living in gratitude, and daily learning—fuels the discipline he brings to every job. If you’re facing termite reports, suspicious wood, or a looming sale, this conversation gives you a clear playbook to choose the right method, control costs, and get a reliable clearance without defaulting to the most disruptive option.
