Racoon and squirrel in attic

I had a critter in my attic but not sure what it was. Chris called me back right away and set up an appointment 2 days after. Other companies were slow in responding. Chris showed up on time and told me based on the size of the hole in my soffit, that is was made by a racoon. After explaining the process of installing a one-way trap door, to let the animal leave to feed, and not get back in, he explained that the hole has to be repaired and all similar weaknesses have to be addressed. Instead of put up awful looking chicken-wire, he colour matched my angled soffits with a solid sheet of steel and topped with aluminum to match. He re-inforced at least 5 areas and you can't tell the difference. Chris came out a couple times because it turned out that a squirrel was living in the attic AFTER a racoon had opened up the soffit. After setting the right door, my problems went away, and I have confidence that critters can no longer access the attic. Fast, quick response and great guy....he explains the process clearly. I recommend him to anyone with a critter problem

securing home against squirrels and racoons

Last year I was having a problem with first grey squirrels, then the little red squirrels and finally raccoons. No amount of fixing under the roofline seemed to help. Finally called A Animal Removal and the job was done. It did take a few tries but the house has now been for over a year so the fixes held.

Squirrel Removal. Not Once but Twice!

Every now and then you find someone that is totally obsessed and amazing at what they do. Chris Wright is that person for animal removal. We first used Chris in 2008 when we discovered there were squirrels running around in the attic. Chris came over and actually built a one way exit cage for the squirrels to fit the point of entry, in his truck. We took great pleasure in actually watching all of this. Chris left and came back a few weeks later to remove the exit cage and repair the hole the squirrels had left behind.

This past spring, more squirrels. This time they chewed through some eavestroughing and shingles to find their home. He did the same amazing job. When he returned to remove the cage and make repairs, it was very important to him that he had the right colour of shingles for his repair to the roof even though it would not be visible from the ground.

We have recommended Chris to many people and will continue to do so. He is a star at what he does.

Dead bird removal

After the horror of maggots falling on my head from the ceiling fan in my bathroom, Chris came and remove the dead bird that got stuck in our vent.
He was honest, gave us advice about how to deal with our local raccoons, and with his background as a contractor I totally trusted him to repair the issues in our bathroom and roof.
I only wish he was still available as a contractor. I would hire him for sure. :)

Bat removal!!

Chris was great! Came immediately on an emergency after hours call after a bat showed up in our son's bedroom. Spent a lot of time dealing with the problem and taking some steps to make sure it wont happen again. Very friendly, courteous and professional.

raccoon removal

We have been hearing noises from our roof for a couple weeks. Thought it was pigeons. We called several companies and picked A animal removal. It turns out to be a smart decision.
Chris went to our house and found out it were raccoons. In fact, there were an adult raccoon and two babies raccoons living on our roof. Chris and Rick were very pleasant to work with. They are very honest, polite and professional. They removed the raccoons, disinfected the area and installed screen in problematic areas to keep animals away from the roof. Rick even checked the attic for us to ensure there are no damages.
Would recommend A Animal removal to anyone who has similar problems.

Raccoon removal

Chris is a true professional who doesn't give up until the job is done right!

We had just moved into our new house in March, and as soon as the snow thawed we began to hear scratching and chirping in the walls of our bedroom. Upon further inspection we noticed a nice big hole on the side of our porch roof left by the previous owner. We called A Animal Removal for help. Chris and Ricky showed up when they said they would to inspect. Once they assessed the situation they got to work right away and installed a one-way door on the hole. We discovered that it was a raccoon that was in our porch roof, because it tried it's best to get back in. It tore off aluminum siding and shingles, and did some good damage, so Chris and Ricky went into our roof, and pulled out a litter of baby raccoons!!!

Chris and Ricky fixed all the damage done by the raccoons, and even put in some nice custom-fit eaves to close up the holes in our porch roof. It looks like nothing even happened, and we haven't seen or heard any raccoons since.

Quality service from someone who takes pride in their work. We fully recommend A Animal Removal.

Squirrel Infestation

I dealt with Chris and Ricky who arrived when they said they would to remove some squirrels that had infiltrated an area under my floors and in my roof due to some shoddy/shortcut carpentry and roofing done by the previous owners of the house.

They took extra time to ensure the repairs were aesthetically pleasing. When they were about to pack up, Chris realized that a sheet he'd installed hung about an inch too low than he liked. He said he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight knowing he'd left it looking like that. Personally I didn't think it looked terrible, but I'm glad he has higher standards than me. He took his ladder back out and made it look even better. I'm pretty sure most contractors would have just walked away from it.

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Chris and Ricky. They were pleasant to deal with and chat with and they did a stellar job. I wish more contractors took the same amount of pride in their work.
