Attic & Roof Repair
Attic & Roof Wildlife Damage Repair
Wildlife can cause significant damage when animals find their way into an attic or through the roof of a home. Raccoons, squirrels, bats, rodents, and other wildlife can create openings, damage vents, chew through materials, and turn existing structural gaps into entry points.
At Soundview Wildlife Control, we don’t just address the animal problem. We also look at how the animal gained access in the first place and what repairs can help prevent the problem from happening again.
Repairing Wildlife Entry Points
Wildlife exclusion and damage repair often require more than simply filling a hole. The appropriate repair depends on the animal, the location of the opening, the construction of the home, and the surrounding habitat.
For some exclusion projects, Soundview uses custom-bent metal designed to work with the appearance of the home while providing a durable barrier against future wildlife entry.
Roof areas that may require attention include:
- Roof returns and structural gaps
- Soffit openings
- Ridge vents
- Gable ends
- Roof boots
- Powered attic vents
- Areas damaged by squirrels or raccoons
Squirrels and raccoons can damage roof vents and create openings into attic spaces. Addressing those openings is an important part of long-term wildlife exclusion.

Repairs Designed for Long-Term Protection
The right repair depends on the animal. For example, a soft seal that may be appropriate for a bat exclusion may not provide the same level of protection against squirrels because squirrels can chew through certain materials.
Soundview considers those differences when determining how an opening should be repaired.
