Animal proofing should be a concern for every home and business owner in Chicagoland, especially if you’ve dealt with an unwanted animal guest before. The truth is that sooner or later, every property will take damage from wildlife.
Given enough time and help from the elements, animals can and will find a way into almost any building. As the exterior ages, concrete settles and wood rots, getting in only gets easier.
Most proofing work means repairing damaged areas back to their original condition. Sometimes the original wasn’t good enough, and a new screen or design is needed. That can include chimney caps, attic fan and vent covers, anti-bird devices and window well covers.
Guaranteed to keep them out
All of our permanent animal proofing comes with a five year or lifetime no-entry guarantee. We can even turn your house into Fort Knox if you want.
Where animals get in
Decks and stoops almost always attract digging animals because they make perfect homes. Attics and roofs draw squirrels, birds and raccoons.
Stoop and patio screening
Skunks and opossums love to burrow under stoops, decks and sheds. Screening makes sure they can’t.
Attic and chimney screens
Vent screens and chimney caps keep birds, squirrels and raccoons out of the attic and flue.
Foundation screens
Stoop, deck and shed screens stop animals from digging underneath your home.
Every screening job starts with an inspection around the foundation, deck, shed, porch, basement and crawl space. We identify every entry point and weak spot, then build a plan to seal and proof each one.
Bigger damage? We bring in restoration
We repair many kinds of minor animal damage ourselves. For major damage, we partner with Newnam Restoration Services, a complete restoration company that can clean up or repair animal damage to your home or property and works with all major insurance companies.
