Photo Album: Squirrels Damage Soffit, We Fix It in Oakhurst, NJ
This client in Oakhurst, NJ had squirrels accessing the attic area through the water-damaged soffit.
Water Damaged and Destroyed by Squirrels
As you can see, the fascia board area was severely damaged by moisture, squirrels, and even carpenter bees!
Take Out the Old
After safely removing all the squirrels, relocating them to a new location, and disinfecting the area, we removed the old, damaged fascia board...
Put in the New
...and replaced it with new 1x6 water-resistant pressure-treated lumber.
Metal Flashing
After installing the new fascia board, we then capped it with metal flashing to cover and protect the new board from pests and nuisance wildlife.
Closing Up the Access Point
We also closed up the hole made by the squirrels with metal flashing to prevent reentry.
Replace and Screen Off the Gable Vent
Lastly, we replaced the damaged gable vent with a new one and screened it off to prevent any nuisance wildlife from gaining access into the home.
