Understanding Wildlife Damage Repair in Metro Atlanta
Here's what most wildlife removal companies won't tell you: getting the animal out is only half the job. The real work — and the real cost if left unaddressed — is what they left behind. Torn-up insulation, contaminated ductwork, chewed wiring, damaged soffits, compromised vapor barriers, and biohazard-level droppings. Most companies trap the animal, maybe seal the hole it came through, and hand you a bill. Then you're left calling a roofer, an insulation company, an electrician, and a crawlspace contractor to clean up the rest. We handle everything in-house because that's the only way to do it right.
In 15+ years of doing this work, the most common thing we hear from homeowners is: 'I wish I'd known about you before I hired the other company.' They paid someone to trap a raccoon, but nobody repaired the roof. They paid someone to set mouse traps, but nobody sealed the 15 entry points around the foundation. They paid someone to remove bats, but nobody cleaned up the guano that was destroying their attic insulation and circulating through their HVAC. That's why we built our company around full-service restoration — not just removal.
We have dedicated roofing, insulation, gutter, and crawlspace crews on staff. No subcontractors, no waiting for third parties, no finger-pointing when something goes wrong. From the initial inspection to the final nail, one company handles everything — and we guarantee the work. Whether you need a few soffit boards replaced or a complete attic restoration with new insulation, sanitization, and air sealing, we have the crew, the equipment, and the experience to get it done.
What To Do Right Now
Do This
- Address all wildlife damage as soon as the animals are removed — delay makes everything worse and more expensive
- Have your attic and crawlspace inspected for contamination, even if damage isn't visible from inside
- Ask your wildlife company if they handle repairs in-house — if they don't, call us
- Document all damage with photos for your records (and potential insurance claims)
Don't Do This
- Do NOT leave contaminated insulation in place — it's a health hazard and reduces your home's energy efficiency
- Do NOT ignore entry point repairs after animal removal — new animals will find the same holes
- Do NOT attempt to clean up animal droppings (especially raccoon or bat) without proper PPE and training
- Do NOT hire multiple contractors when one company can handle everything — it's more efficient and more accountable

Dangers & Health Risks
Ongoing Health Hazards
Contaminated insulation, droppings, and urine continue to release harmful pathogens and allergens long after animals are removed. Professional remediation is essential.
Structural Deterioration
Unrepaired wildlife damage worsens over time — water intrusion through entry holes leads to rot, mold, and compromised structural integrity.
Energy Loss & High Bills
Damaged or contaminated insulation drastically reduces your home's energy efficiency, leading to higher heating and cooling costs year-round.
Secondary Pest Infestations
Open entry points and contaminated areas attract additional pests including insects, rodents, and other wildlife — compounding the problem.

Common in Metro Atlanta
Across Metro Atlanta, the most common wildlife damage we repair involves squirrel-chewed wiring and soffits, raccoon-torn roofing and ductwork, and rodent-contaminated insulation. Older homes in Marietta, Roswell, Decatur, and intown Atlanta are especially vulnerable due to aging building materials and mature tree canopy. Newer homes in Paulding, Douglas, and Henry counties often have construction gaps at roofline intersections that provide easy wildlife access. Georgia's climate also means moisture damage compounds quickly after wildlife creates openings in your home's envelope. The sooner repairs are made, the less it costs.

Most residential wildlife damage repair projects range from $500–$15,000+
