Removal and repair
One page for the whole job, in the order it happens
The removal and the repair share one plan, one crew and one set of photos. Here is each step.
Step 1: The look
A technician walks the roofline, then goes into the attic. Every opening gets a photo and a mark on a sketch of the house.
Eaves, soffit, fascia, vents, chimney, and the joint where the roof meets a wall
Signs of how many animals and how long, as far as we can tell
Step 2: The written plan
Removal, each repair and cleanup are separate lines. You can take all of it, or take the removal and hire the repair out.
Each line says what we will do, with what material
A note on what we couldn't see and what could change
Step 3: The animals
We follow state wildlife rules, which differ by species. Adults get a one-way exit where the rules allow. Young change the plan.
We tell you before work starts if young are inside
We say which method we use and why, before we start
Step 4: The repair
The opening is closed with new material: metal where it faces the weather, steel mesh where an animal chewed through a vent, new wood where the old board gave way.
Done by our own carpenters
Roofer-owned work, like shingles, stays with your roofer
Step 5: The last look
We check each opening against the plan and send photos. Insulation comes out and goes back in only if you chose that line.
Photos go to you, and to your roofer or inspector if you ask
How the repair estimate is built
We don't print prices here, because the number depends on your house. These are the questions it answers.
What decides the price
A roofline repair is priced by the opening, not by the animal. These move it most.
The number of openings, and how far the damage runs behind each one
Height and access to each opening
The material the spot needs: soffit panel, fascia board, flashing, vent cover, steel mesh
Hidden damage: wet or rotted wood is added only once it has been seen
Whether cleanup and new insulation are on the plan
What the estimate includes, and what it doesn't
It lists each opening and the work at that opening, then the removal, then cleanup if you asked.
Included: the visit's findings, a sketch with photos, each line of work and the materials named in it
Not included: roof replacement, repainting after repair, work on a neighbor's wall, and anything found only after the first board is off
What happens at the visit
The visit is a look, not a sales call. A technician goes up and inside, and tells you what they see before they leave. If the visit has a charge, we tell you when you book and say whether it counts toward the work.
When you get the number
In writing, after the visit and before any work starts. We give one amount per line, so you can see what you are choosing.
If the job changes
If we open a wall and find more, we stop, show you, and agree the change in writing before we go on. Nothing is added by phone.
Materials and who buys them
We choose and buy the materials, and the plan names them. If you want a particular finish or color to match your trim, tell us at the visit and it goes on the plan.
When young are inside
Timing changes when there are young in the attic
Squirrels and other animals can have young in an attic. If we find them, we don't rush. We tell you what we saw, explain what the state's rules allow for that species, and move the removal and repair dates to match. You decide whether to go ahead on that schedule.
We check for young before any exit is fitted
Repairs on the outside of the house can wait for the animals to leave
The plan says which lines depend on timing
Start with a photo of the roofline
Text it, or send the form. A person writes back when the office opens.
