AAA Gates Wildlife Control

We had new shingles put on our roof in mid-August of this year and we have had to have it repaired twice in the past 3 months due to extensive damage to the shingles and the leaf guard being torn up by raccoons. My husband and I find this very strange as in the 40 years we have lived in our home, we have never had any trouble or even seen a raccoon.I called Gates Wildlife Control to explain what was happening and to see if they could make any suggestions as to how we could stop this from happening again. They sent Chris, one of their Senior Wildlife Control Officers and he went on the roof to see the damage. The majority of the damage was around the edge of the roof on all 4 sides as the original builders had left a small gap of about 2" from the edge of the shingle to the gutter making it easy for the raccoons to put their hands in and lift the shingles, so Chris suggested that he could install a metal screening which would protect the edge of the roof as well as cover the gutter preventing this from happening again. He left me a quote and told me to think about it and call the company if we wanted to proceed and I called them on Saturday afternoon.Our roof was repaired on Saturday and Chris came on Tuesday morning to install the metal screen and did a very neat and tidy job as you can see in the picture above.Gates' called the day before to confirm the appointment and Chris arrived right on time. Great Job!. Thank you Chris.
