Precise Detection

Permanent exclusion starts with finding the smallest vulnerabilities that standard inspections miss.

Structural Integrity First

We don't just "patch" holes. We remove rotted wood back to the roof joists to ensure the seal is as strong as the original house.

Q: What materials do you use to seal my home?

A: We use professional-grade, animal-proof materials like heavy-gauge steel mesh, high-density poly-sealants, and reinforced flashing. These are designed to withstand both weather and the persistent chewing of raccoons and squirrels.

Q: Will the exclusion repairs be visible or ugly?

A: Not at all. We take pride in "aesthetic exclusion." Our repairs are designed to blend into your home's existing architecture, often tucked behind trim or color-matched to your siding so your home stays beautiful and protected.

Q: How long does a permanent exclusion repair last?

A: Our exclusion work is designed as a permanent structural upgrade. We use heavy-gauge steel and industrial-grade sealants that do not degrade like standard foam or wood. These repairs are built to last for the life of the structure, provided there are no major external structural shifts or new damage to the home's exterior.

Q: Do you offer a warranty on your exclusion work?

A: We stand behind our workmanship and the durability of our materials. If an animal breaches a point we specifically sealed due to a failure in our installation, we will return to repair that entry point and remove the target animal at no additional cost for the duration of your warranty period.
