The Damage Wildlife Leaves Behind — And Why One Contractor Should Fix All of It
Wildlife damage is rarely limited to the entry point. By the time most homeowners discover they have squirrels in the attic or rats in the walls, the damage has spread throughout the affected area. Squirrels chew through electrical wiring — a leading cause of house fires. Raccoons tear open soffit panels and damage fascia boards. Rats gnaw on plumbing lines, HVAC ductwork, and structural wood. Bats leave behind corrosive guano that deteriorates wood and drywall. The entry point you see is rarely the full picture.
Most wildlife removal companies handle the animals and then refer you to a separate contractor for repairs. We do both — because having two separate contractors involved in the same damage creates gaps in accountability and often leaves homeowners managing competing timelines and mismatched repair quality. Our team assesses the full extent of damage during the initial inspection, performs the animal removal, seals all entry points through exclusion, and completes all structural and cosmetic repairs. One contract, one crew, one warranty.
Common repairs we perform after wildlife removal include: soffit and fascia board replacement, roof decking repair, insulation removal and reinstallation, vapor barrier replacement, HVAC duct repair, drywall repair, interior trim replacement, and sanitization of affected areas. We also document all damage with photos for homeowners pursuing insurance claims — wildlife damage is covered under many homeowners policies, and thorough documentation makes the claims process significantly smoother.

Our Wildlife Damage Repair Process
Full Damage Assessment
We inspect the complete affected area — not just the entry point — and document every item of damage with photos and measurements. We provide a written damage report and repair proposal.
Wildlife Removal & Exclusion
Animals are removed humanely and all entry points are sealed with commercial-grade materials. Damage repair begins only after the structure is secured against re-entry.
Structural & Cosmetic Repair
All identified damage is repaired by our crew to a finished standard. Exterior repairs match existing material colors and textures where possible. All work is documented with completion photos.
Final Inspection & Documentation
We walk the completed repairs with you and provide a full written record of all work performed — useful for insurance claims, home sale documentation, or future reference.
What Our Customers Say
"Raccoons had torn up my soffit and gotten into the attic. TOG removed them, sealed everything, repaired the soffit damage, and replaced the insulation — all in two visits. I didn't have to manage three different contractors."
— Patricia H., Marietta, GA
"The damage assessment photos they provided were exactly what my insurance company needed. They documented everything thoroughly and the claim process was smooth."
— James R., Carrollton, GA
"Very glad I found a company that could handle both removal and repair. The repaired soffit and fascia look great and you'd never know anything happened."
— Susan T., Alpharetta, GA
